Nobel Laureate Professor Sir John Gurdon dies aged 92 It is with great sadness that the University shares the news of the death of Professor Sir John Gurdon, founder of the Gurdon Institute.

So sad to hear the news - John truly was an inspiration to so many, and one of a kind.

- Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK
- We do not have a massive free speech problem here.

I don't doubt that a lot of the content of the PM's speech on immigration today will be v popular. I'd just rather live in a country where it wasn't and where we had the imagination to decide it doesn't have to be that way.
