I think you can only really complain about a slow review process if, when reviewing, you submit your own reviews on time
30. The Venice Sketchbook by Rhys Bowen (last read of 2025!)
A beautiful story set between the outbreak of WW2 & 2001. A tale of love & sacrifice set in the magnificent Venice
29. Gold Murder by Angus Watson
Written by a good friend of mine. A great murder mystery set in the American gold rush told with a very British sense of humour
28. The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
I loved the drama of this book, even if most of the characters are detestable

15 mins is not bad. The last journey I did was four hours. And that terminal is awful. Hope itβs just 15m!

The young woman in her 20s on the train is on the phone stating the benefits of getting up at 9am because βyou have, like, a whole morning to get stuff doneβ
9am?! Try 6am. You can live a whole life by midday
Oh, to be young again
It took us a while to work out what was going on!
Our work is also consistent with recent published Wee1 inhibitor sensitivity screens showing loss of FZR1 sensitises cells to Wee1i
I'm super excited by this work & really hope people find it useful. It also raises more exciting questions...tbc..
New lab preprint!
We find that Wee1 phosphorylates Cdh1(FZR1) and suppresses APC/C(Cdh1) activity to promote S-phase entry
A fantastic team effort from the combined forces of @lavuillemenot.bsky.social, Lucas Morales, Calin-Mihai Dragoi & Beth Pennycook

@cancerresearchuk.org asked me to write a piece about our latest research programme & here it is!
I'm so excited about this work and always keen to talk to other people interested in similar things so do get in touch.
