Very true and at least you didn't get dropped 30 - zip by the Panthers.... 😬

I feel slightly sad for Flacco. But yeah stunned by Danny Dimes - who would have thunk it! Should be 4-1 by the end of the weekend as well.

Well this 'did not' age well... @donjrscokehabit.bsky.social

It was a busy but incredibly fruitful and inspirational few days in London. An absolute delight to be involved.

The entrance to submitting articles to journals and open access admin is mildly scary - not gonna lie.

Feel like I need a PhD in publishing articles to publish articles from my PhD 😬

Work in AgTech or plant breeding industry? Got time to discuss novel scientific and technological products in every day life? Available to get to Cambridge, UK on Friday 12th September? Well, then come and join me for a focus group.

But you didn't sign Watson. So small mercies. They probably should've hung on to Flacco. Jones will be benched by Thanksgiving - at the latest.

Still, the silver lining is that you are not the Browns...

Love the way the Colts go for consistency- consistency at being below par with Jones.

I'm transcribing. Research, actual research, lovely wonderful research. I forgot how much I enjoyed this. It's been a while. 😁

This is only slightly more annoying than when I got to the airport a few years ago to discover my AirPods were not actually in the case...

An afternoon of transcription derailed because the better half took my AirPods (with her AirPods) to work. Neither were required whilst she has been pulling teeth out of horses...! Sigh.

Ultraprocessed or minimally processed diets following healthy dietary guidelines on weight and cardiometabolic health: a randomized, crossover trial - Nature Medicine A free-living trial in people with overweight or obesity found that minimally processed diets led to greater weight loss and cardiometabolic improvements than ultraprocessed diets following UK healthy...

Ultra-processed foods are THE debate in nutrition right now, so you'd figure a new randomized control trial on UPFs would get lots of attention. But this study in Nature Medicine has only gotten modest coverage -- probably because it's findings are not so scary. THREAD

Cleveland is gonna Cleveland.

Someone has broken the thermostat in Kent... 🥵

In Canterbury, Kent on the 12th August? Fancy being part of a discussion about shaping science and technology? Then please join the Futuring Biological Commons team for a 2 and half hour focus group. Register your interest here forms.office.com/e/uQ7UHf05xs or email futuringcommons@kent.ac.uk

Oh my. If you just read government legislation on genetically modified organisms you would assume that the only persons undertaking this work were men. Kind of intrigued to see when this changes - it better change....!

Ha! I live about an 45 minutes away and never been...! Looks fab, one to drag the 10 year old to in the school holidays 👍

Oh yeah, familiar experience. The only way to avoid the traffic there is to be there pre-7am or post 9pm. Welcome to the South West of England. 😜

Me after a cold and dismissive paper rejection:
"A rite of passage passed"
Supporting academic.
"No, that's your life now.."

Happy Friday everyone. 😆

Split decision. On the one hand it's been fun trawling away for different countries policies on plant synthetic biology. On the other, I've just found a website dedicated to tracking said policies... I guess at least I have the background to sense check the tracker...

Oooh, there's a comment on a webinar "if you want to have impact get out of university" 👀

Alles nix konkretes AnnenMayKantereit · Album · 2016 · 12 songs

A day of trawling EU policy supported by AnnenMayKantereit and specifically the album - Alles nix knonkretes. Another reminder to get back to the Babbel app and German lessons..! open.spotify.com/album/2Cq6fg...

I struggled with Gerald Durrell but I think that's more to do with his celebrated legacy.

Discovering that navy cadets I was researching had died in WWI or WWII during my masters research, I found distinctly challenging and emotional. Even though they would've died long before my research anyway!

It has been a day of trawling US policy documents and so many have file names ending "FINAL." And you know somewhere, someone has a multitude of other files for the document named things like "v.1.4" "Final Final" "v.2" and "FINAL_absolutely_the_last_one"

😂

Great to see this timely report published. cms.wellcome.org/sites/defaul...
