A cracking weekend in Annecy with a whole load of old friends and their families. Good times.
Even a >3 h delay to my flight back from Geneva can’t dampen my spirits.

On Saturday, we gathered two teams from IBB-PAS to run the Relay Marathon #Ekiden in Warsaw. It was a good day for running, but it made for a sore Sunday (for me, at least). Thanks to all of our runners for a great team effort!

Finally, we're recruiting!
If you'd like to do a PhD using NMR structures to study the dynamics of a metalloenzyme, then you're in luck! Come to Warsaw for this project, in collaboration with Simone Ciofi-Baffoni's group at CERM, Florence: ibb.edu.pl/app/uploads/...

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

A great week at the IPNC conference in Florence. Learned a lot about this interesting group of bacteria which will help in our forthcoming project, and nice to meet a whole new community of researchers.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.
Strong power move for Team Cancer.

This weekend, my parents came to visit me in Warsaw, so I gave them a tour of the lab. Turns out it was the first time they'd visited any of my labs, which is weird. But I think they're now convinced that I really do have a proper job 🤷♂️

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/
Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Your regular reminder Delft’s market square was a surface parking lot as recently as 2004.
A razor-thin coalition (19-18 votes) initiated a six-month pilot to help merchants realize cars don’t spend money, people do.
Years later, no one remembers the controversy or regrets the decision. *Sound on*

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:
1. Create a new $15B science fund
2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada
3. Immediate permanent residency
4. Citizenship after 2 years
Overnight a science superpower
