How have I only just discovered 'Background jobs' in R.

Overheard: “This race would be a lot more fun without the physical discomfort.” #BM100

Today I have mostly been playing the 'why is my Q-Q plot atrocious' game

There is a crisis in clinical academia in the UK. We talk of the need to expand medical schools, embed research into the NHS to improve care, & the importance of a vibrant life sciences sector for the economy of the UK, & yet we seem unable to tackle the underlying issues 1/9

Ending my last ever night shift as a SHO (since 2017) with post night euphoria until first reg night shifts.

Reflecting on how much I hated nights shifts- the endless bleeps, uncertainity and poor staffing and how fun(!) I find them now. There's something exciting about ...1/2

Critical to get our key partners in the UK focussing on child health research!

Later than expected but I fully now realise that fundings are always the determining factors for academic doctors...

Whether it is a small grant to do a small project

Or it is to obtain enough funding to cover clinical salary to step out of training to do a PhD/MD.

Great to hear about everyone who had got ACF posts. Well done all.

To those who haven’t, remember that this is just one path to continuing an academic career. Keep going.

The downside with writing and talking about science is that it is time not spent doing science.

I’m not sure I always strike the right balance and often feel like I am simultaneously doing too much and not enough of both.

Our latest publication is now out in Nature Communications! We describe how cell-in-cell structures featuring E-Cadherin-expressing CD8 T cells within biliary epithelial cells form and how they’re associated with #PBC . Huge congrats to Dr Scott P Davies Vincenzo Ronca and the rest of the team!

Interested in clinical-academic careers?

This Thursday evening (25th Jan at 1900), Ian Rowe and I will be speaking about why we think clinical-academic careers are brilliant in a National Student Association of Medical Research event.

It will be particularly tailored towards medical students but will be applicable to
