First paper from my PhD out in @ACS_AMI. Great collaboration between @ImperialNHLI and @impchemistry! Happy to see this work finally published. Thankful for excellent students and academics who worked with me.

@c_danmar @astro_jje @GeorgeOAllen @Brii_toe_knee I agree with you and the OP, but it can be useful to acknowledge that whilst coding itself isn’t necessarily a talent, there are traits one can have that you make you (more likely to be) good at coding. Conscientiousness definitely being one of them.

[Alex Cryer @Alex_Cryer]

@astro_jje @GeorgeOAllen @Brii_toe_knee I fully endorse people being able to pursue whatever hobbies/skills they feel passionate about and would never discourage anyone from doing so. And hard work is pivotal to success, I was just acknowledging that some people are naturally better are things than others.

@0x49fa98 @vgr @MimeticValue I agree, once a user reaches a critical mass of followers (approximately 1-2k) then I think it’s almost impossible to have a completely unacknowledged tweet. It can become more about the the person than the statement/opinion/idea itself

So proud of @ErinMGibson, @LiddelowSA et al, who persisted through nearly 7 years of work on this study. "Chemobrain" affects millions of cancer survivors. Through a better understanding of the pathophysiology, new treatment strategies will emerge. #glia

Not all the T cells that are intratumoral are necessarily tumor reactive - that number is ~10%.
Might explain why even empirically "hot" tumors have variable response to ICIs. This is also pertinent to ongoing efforts at isolating TILs from solid tumors.

Great news! Life saving work.

[Lungs for Living @lungsforliving]

Great to announce the SUMMIT study on BBC radio this morning. We will CT screen 25000 people in London for lung cancer and a further 25000 will be invited to help us develop a multi-cancer detection blood test working with a US company GRAIL @Peston @wellcometrust @CRUKresearch

Using AI to help scientists solve big questions is at the core of DeepMind’s mission. Today we’re delighted to announce our first significant milestone: a successful application of machine learning to the protein folding problem. https://t.co/PQO6WxKgEQ #AlphaFold (1/5)

@seis_matters @SciNotSci @StuartGHiggins Listened last night too, candid and caring tone throughout, thoroughly enjoyable!

[Science Immunology @SciImmunology]

In two different mouse models of #cancer, @Regeneron scientists found the dual treatment of PD-1 and GITR antibodies resulted in greater antitumor responses, compared to treatment with either antibody alone: https://t.co/Z0RqZ91k30
