Not sure I'm capable of jumping for joy anymore, but I am cheered up about the future for Innovation in the UK. So I wrote down why.

[Innogen Institute @innogen_inst]

Professor @CWarkup is optimistic about the UK Government's Innovation policy, read his blog post: 'Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three' to find out why.

@GeorgeFreemanMP Thank you George. @Ben_Everitt This is how to listen to constituents. We are not moving on until DC is moved on.

@Ben_Everitt How about this one Ben? You are my MP and I have already e-mailed you. His excuses didn't help at all. Backbenchers who agree need to show they have a spine.

[Chris Warkup @CWarkup]

Very encouraging news. Well done and thank you to the @Pirbright_Inst team. Got me enthused enough to break a long Twitter silence! Good luck with next steps. @DefraGovUK @BBSRC hope you can keep funding this really important work.

Neat, but quite a way from a full explanation. Wonder what we know about the evolution of this behaviour? https://t.co/zQABizrepD
