Very sad news indeed, John. Alan was monumental in the field.

Jeez, what a contrast - I haven't taken a UA flight to/from LHR in 12 months when they DON'T ask for volunteers to take other flights.

It can always be worse, John - we're assessing students every three weeks so the question requests come thick and fast.

Excited to release the Consensus Pituitary Atlas, which brings a shared framework to process, annotate, and analyze single-cell datasets in the mouse pituitary.

TCDCC is one of the best (and most fun) committees to serve on, for sure.

The coffee in the lounge at Zurich airport is einfach klasse - hoping the coffee in Copenhagen for #ESPE-ECE2025 is just as great.

The issue is connecting flights on non-United metal - fare difference applies to those :(. Just spent $500 to avoid EWR on Thursday.

United are definitely not giving me this option for the 8th - no change fee, but considerable fare difference.

No kidding - the taxiing to the gate is almost as long as the flight from DTW.

Britain’s NHS Is 20% Less Productive Than Before the Pandemic Britain’s National Health Service is almost 20% less productive than it was five years ago, adding to concerns that the Labour government is not getting value for the extra money it’s putting into par...

I am so fed up of politicians and media outlets telling us all that the NHS is less productive than pre-pandemic, while completely ignoring the enormous collective trauma endured by its workforce during the largest public health crisis in 75 years.…

The hypothalamus is a small structure deep inside the brain that is connected to a vast number of other brain regions and tirelessly interacts with them. It controls and modulates many basic bodily functions to ensure the survival of the organism under constantly changing circumstances.

The hypothalamus is a small structure deep inside the brain that is connected to a vast number of other brain regions and tirelessly interacts with them. It controls and modulates many basic bodily functions to ensure the survival of the organism under constantly changing circumstances.

The #hypothalamus plays a large role in coordinating the neuronal signals that are responsible for keeping the body in a stable state.

A special issue unpacked this brain region’s impact on physiological and behavioral homeostasis. scim.ag/41FRESU #BrainAwarenessWeek

No shame in this, John - get to a live Cure show if you can - they’re still phenomenal.
