Our current favourite poet Annie has written another poem about going down the shops, yet no mention of her friend Trish and her shopping trolley (a euphemism for Mr Trish if ever I saw one).

Is there a gene for selective hardware store amnesia?
I really love wandering around the shop, putting new tools, bits of wood and hardware components into the basket.
Its only when I get it home that I remember I am utterly crap at DIY and dont know what to do with all the stuff I have bought.

New research looks at why ALK+ #LungCancer targeted treatments can stop working over time.
Resistance is not always a new mutation. Cells around the tumour can help ALK positive cancer cells survive, even when ALK inhibitors are working.
