This report makes some fair points, but it’s not all doom and gloom. Still loads of great science happening in the UK. Sure, before Brexit, the UK attracted more international researchers, which boosted the creative mix, but innovation hasn’t stopped.

Keep calm and regulate on!

Some of us tried to kill them. Some of us tried to boost them.
Turns out, Tregs do whatever they can to frustrate us.
Congrats to the Nobel winners for reminding us who’s really in charge, the TReg cell!

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is the age-related expansion of mutated blood stem cell clones that increases the risk of blood cancer. A recent publication shows that #IL1RAP isn’t just a marker of CH, it appears to drive it.
