Alex is a final-year postgraduate researcher investigating an anti-ageing gene with the potential to fight Alzheimer’s disease.
Hear how his personal connection to dementia is shaping his research, and why Manchester was the perfect place for his journey.

Last month I did a little experiment.

I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.

The results were...interesting...

Read the Full Text of Obama's Speech in Selma The President spoke on Saturday in Selma, Ala.

It’s the 60th Anniversary of “Bloody Sunday” at Selma, and thus the 10th anniversary of President Obama’s speech there, my favorite of all his public oratory, although it reads differently now. 🧵

A tweet from Ian Morrison, who has a Canadian flag in his display name, responds to a discussion about U.S. state additions. He states that it would add the "51st through 63rd states" and bring "40 million comparatively leftist voters, 52 leftist representatives, and 26 leftist senators," ensuring that "nobody like Trump would ever get elected again." He ends the tweet with, "Lastly, you can fuck right off."

The reality behind the whole 51st state thing.
