Very proud of @Caitbellamy1995 for her article on DNP poisoning in Wales, featured in @BritPharmSoc's Pharmacology Matters - including a shout out to the research going on here at @SwanseaMedicine @SwanseaUni
So chuffed to have had the opportunity to write an article about the history of 2,4-dinitrophenol poisoning in Wales for @BritPharmSoc! It highlights the dangers of accidental exposure to DNP, particularly as a result of taking weight loss pills. 👇👇 https://t.co/0usS0GDLvH

We arelooking urgently for a postdoc to join our team on this exciting COVID-19 project. Spread the word far and wide please. A virologist with experience in coronaviruses and/or BSL3 labs will be especially welcome. @MicrobioSoc @ASMicrobiology @britsocimm
We are on a mission to beat #COVID19: “When facing a pandemic, it is crucial that we find treatment options as soon as possible. Our research will focus on drugs that are already approved for human use to see whether they can be repurposed." @UltanPower 👉🏽 https://t.co/NuOK91rsy8

Delighted to have chaired the “Good practices for scientific publication” for the IAP conference last Friday with BJP editor-in-chief Prof. Amrita Ahluwalia. Great insight into the publication process and useful advice for early career researchers! 🔬
Thanks so much to all presenters and delegates for a most stimulating day of excellent presentations. Thanks to all at the Wellcome Wolfson.

Me: I desperately want a career in academia, but I look at what you do, and I just can’t do that. PhD advisor: Of course you can’t… What followed was so impactful and empowered me to start dismantling my biggest career barrier. Maybe it can help you too: https://t.co/T4ij5GPdZe
