My #booksky this week is Butter by Asako Yuzuki- an interesting choice for someone who's been plant based since 2015! The very graphic descriptions of food haven't given me bloodlust yet... First impression was pretty easy reading, but increasingly there are feminist undertones: always welcome here!

My second #booksky is a holiday edition and is Caledonian Road by Andrew O'Hagan. Mayflies was great and a nice window into a lifelong male friendship, prompting me to try this. At first the characters seemed caricature-like, lacking nuance but as the plot thickens it's growing on me.

Six men in their 70s – Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, Narendra Modi, Recep Erdoğan, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Vladimir Putin – control 40% of the world population, 50% of GDP, and 60% of the world’s military.
I profiled this “old guard” and what they’re doing to the world.

The deadly old men who rule half the world

Cancer cells turbocharge themselves by stealing the energy-producing units from neurons in tumours

Cancer cells get power boost by stealing mitochondria from nerves
Nature - The theft probably helps the cells to spread around the body, and preventing it could provide a path to treatment, researchers say.

Amazing work from a very smart ex labmate of mine 🌟 congratulations Anna
Happy to share a preprint of my PhD work! We created a chromatin state model for quiescent and proliferating neural stem cells in Drosophila and found that quiescent cells gain active chromatin to support stem cell functions.

Neural stem cell quiescence is actively maintained by the epigenome
Homeostasis and repair of the nervous system is maintained by a population of resident neural stem cells (NSCs) retained in a state of reversible cell cycle arrest called quiescence. quiescent NSCs ca...

#climbsky do you copy? My challenge to myself is to make a little #boulderoftheweek vid when possible and keep it going through FY1. If I could prescribe climbing as a public mental and physical health strategy I would. This #fail was so close yet so far, I blame 30 degrees. #docsonblocs

My first #booksky is my latest read: Orbital by Samantha Harvey. One of the best of the past couple of years. It's like a painting with the English language as the medium. Truly uplifting and captures so much of the human experience. Similar recs very welcome #orbital #samanthaharvey

Books are my self-care so ahead of starting FY1 I'll make weekly #booksky posts on Sundays. I'll share current reads and old favourites across fiction, sci-fi, and popular science. I used to use X for papers and IG for book & climbing content but both have become insufferable cesspools so here I am!
