I submitted a grant with @krikirschner.bsky.social TWO WHOLE DAYS before the deadline. Feels like my brain finally matured to adulthood.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

My pal @dimitrislagos.bsky.social has a fabulous position available in his lab. U of York is a great place to work. York is great place to live.

Appalled to see the Telegraph giving Aseem Malhotra a platform today. He has spread increasingly dangerous vaccine misinformation with impunity. The GMC’s failure to remove him from the register is every bit as appalling. A spineless dereliction of duty.

Unbelievable. Why am I truly shocked every time greedy individuals personally grab loads of money they don’t deserve? Perhaps because as a public sector employee I have to beg for every penny just to keep the not very excellent show on a B-road.

My phone reminded me of this pic this day 2020

Exciting to share the new impact factor of @hemasphere-journal.bsky.social, the #openaccess journal of the European Hematology Association (EHA). The 2024 Journal Impact Factor is 14.6 - ranking as number 5 of 99 hematology journals (Source: Journal Citations Reports, Clarivate).

Excellent adult acute lymphoid leukaemia session at #BSH (well attended despite 8am start) put together and chaired by Clare Rowntree - seen here, in action

Important update on the MRCP exams error. See thread from our deputy council chair Emma Runswick 👇

Just done my mandatory NHS fraud awareness training. I’m reminded anew how getting away with things on a grand multi million dollar scale is tolerated and even applauded whereas getting so much as a free meal raises an eyebrow for the average private sector employee.

Do I really want to pay nearly £700 per annum to be a Fellow of the @rcphysicians.bsky.social ? I can’t think of a single, direct benefit that I actually need or use. Conversely, a lot of what the college did during this past year has caused me considerable dismay. What are colleagues doing ?

Our lab at is #hiring! Open #postdoc position for a mixed dry-wet lab to leverage multi-omic techniques to determine biomarkers of response and resistance B-cell #lymphomas treated with #CAR-T therapy. Deadline 26th February. Reach out if interested or kindly share. qmul-jobs.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/...

I got a @lner.co.uk train from York to London it was precisely on time despite the weather conditions. Once again I commend the wonderful train and station staff. Thank you.

Two consultant haematology positions - leukaemia and coag available @HullHospitals based at the lovely Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham. Great colleagues, lots of humour, beautiful countryside, buy a posh house for next to nowt. See NHS jobs. www.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/jo...

Oh dearie me

Letters to the newspaper vs. reality. (With no disrespect to the letter writers or their contents).

What could possibly go wrong?

Grateful to @lner.co.uk staff for their hard work and good cheer in moving a lot of people between London & the frozen North.

“Take stock” was on my to-do list today as I make my way back to @york.ac.uk @cbr-uoy.bsky.social

Live sessions plus vitamin D synthesis. Thanks to #ASH24

Wonderful visit to my brilliant collaborator @krikirschner.bsky.social at Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN. On my way to @ash-hematology.bsky.social annual meeting in San Diego today

Me, buying sleeping antihistamines tradename “Sleepeaze”at Heathrow Airport Boots, travel pillow hanging from my bag Assistant: please be aware these may make you drowsy Me: isn’t that the point? Assistant: (no response)

Pulling out of a big panel interview 3 hours before it’s due. Seems very disrespectful to the time of the assembled panel.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends and colleagues

Wonderful away day & lab night out @aditibanerjeedey99.bsky.social @ramerikanou.bsky.social @hermioneallen.bsky.social who else from my lovely lab in on here?

Delighted to have found a practical use for my PhD thesis

Fabulous and hilarious inaugural by my colleague Dimitris Lagos @uniofyork.bsky.social @hullyorkmed.bsky.social

Anyone else noted a rise in “aggressively slow driving”? Slow downs occur ages before speed limits change, drives way under every speed limit, never overtakes. Assuming not everyone driving on the A1079 from York to Hull at so-called rush hour is stoned or v. anxious, it must be a new syndrome?

I got fed up of tweeting but I’ll make more effort with my Skying.

I’m so delighted so many of my friends, colleagues, and collaborators as well as those who inspire and entertain me are now on here. Let’s all encourage the organisations we work within or are associated with to make the shift, too.

Here’s looking forward to seeing my old community in a new place
