So sad to hear about David Lynch today. Enjoyed many of his films, but seeing Lost Highway at the cinema (and then again!) was mind blowing. Mulholland Drive was perhaps even better, but no scene in cinema can ever come close to this guy....'Give me back my phone'

@ruthpavey.bsky.social is making the Christmas pudding mixture today, so that means it's my solemn duty to consume the left over alcohol that doesn't go in the recipe. The Gold Label is fairly vile (I do quite enjoy Guinness though), but tradition requires it!

Dr David Chisholm from Lightox (lightox.co.uk) gave an outstanding UCL chemistry seminar today. An inspirational story of the application of chemistry in novel treatments for oral cancer. Great to see Dave again after a few years and to see how the work has developed. 🧪 #Chemsky
