Two beauties recently seen in a faraway night garden. The beauty of humility (the white orchid) and the beauty of resilience (the white water lily).

Oh, the dreaminess of the low buttery sky leading to the pinks of the sunset

And my eyes travelling along the line of the ancient wall

Upon which the daffodils present as small yellow stars

This is the beauty of York

This eve, layered on the pulsating palette of spring

Oh my!!! My favourite flower is coming up in the garden … and this year there are so many of them. The very sweet, wild daffodil. Small, with such beautiful, translucent and delicate petals ❤️

Here’s a video of the “tuck in” … what we describe as filling the LN2 Biobank in “The Little Lab” and getting it ready for the weekend. It is one of the greatest privileges of my life to have “The Little Lab” as a HTA-accredited laboratory dedicated to prostate cancer research.

Happy weekend all!

As one day turns to become another… New efforts in prostate cancer research. Can the molecular signatures of what is in this Eppendorf tube help for early detection…?

Prostate-cancer cell line being cultured in my lab. New questions. New mechanistic enquiry.

Wow! ❤️ View out towards the River Ouse ❄️

Oh just a normal Saturday afternoon spot of fun… 🥸 (!!)

“Good cell cultures had been grown
A week from Christmas evedom
Lots of secrets to be shown
In images crisp to reveal them”

(To the tune of Good King W… you know the one 🤣).

This beauty so very close. Needed to be shared. Today at the University of York.

Foreboding sky and the River Ouse swollen from the weather over the weekend … looking out towards Lendal Bridge this morning. #York
