Excited to share I’ve recently started as a group leader at the University of Oxford @oncology.ox.ac.uk, @ox.ac.uk Feeling grateful for the people who’ve helped me get here, and looking forward to growing a lab that asks important questions (and hopefully finds some answers). #NewPI #CancerResearch

The academic community has looked at how artificial-intelligence tools help researchers to write papers, but not how they distort the literature scientists choose to cite, says Zhicheng Lin go.nature.com/45X3Imr

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights. The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system. 🧵 [1/8]

Calling all non-scientists interested in asking questions about cancer research for our new podcast-in-making!!! Please message your questions or contact me for more details 🤩

Next up on my reading list!

Exciting news! Our new paper is out in Neuron! We discovered how neurons drive brain tumor growth through aberrant glutamate–tyrosine kinase signaling, uncovering novel mechanisms that shape tumor progression. Grateful to our team & collaborators for making this breakthrough possible! 🧠✨

A highly lethal type of brain tumour often steals key nutrients to aid its aggressive growth — a habit that can be exploited to slow the cancer’s spread go.nature.com/4p5JspX

New Nature paper from the Parrinello lab Clements et al. reveal how axonal injury can drive brain tumor growth. #cancer #neuroscience Having been a postdoc in the lab, I saw the colossal effort behind this — huge congratulations to everyone involved! 👏 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

ReSCU-Nets: Recurrent U-Nets for segmentation of three-dimensional #microscopy data. New tools developed by Raymond Hawkins, Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalez (@rodrigofg.bsky.social) and colleagues @utoronto.ca: rupress.org/jcb/article/... #Cytoskeleton #SystemsBiology #ComputationalBiology #Development

NEW: A new study by @oxfordcsae.bsky.social reveals that giving unconditional cash transfers to pregnant women in rural Kenya significantly reduces infant and child mortality. Read more ⬇️ www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-08...

Scientists are seeking to decipher the role of non-coding DNA in the human genome, helped by a suite of artificial-intelligence tools. go.nature.com/41O1Utb

Following Trump’s research funding cuts, the UK has a prime opportunity to attract top global talent, yet we’re deterring them with high immigration costs. observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Completely agree. However, brilliant technicians are currently being lost due to limited career paths. Expanding opportunities would not only strengthen science but also support EDI - low PhD stipends often exclude those without financial safety nets.
