The science was great but more importantly the people were great, nurturing and supporting each other, especially coursemates on the @MRCDTP_IBR

Today I wave an emotional goodbye to @AnneStraube, the lab, and the @Warwick_CMCB family. The last four and a half years were full of highs and lows, but I'm so proud of everything we did.

As research restarts, there's so many emails coming in with caps lock IMPORTANT in the subject line that I'm losing sense or which ones really are important.

Spare a thought for the @warwickmed @WarwickCTU @Warwick_CMCB ducks who have gotten so used to being fed out the window that when they saw a human being they ran over quacking! Don't worry your humans will return... Eventually.
