Former US President James Earl ‘Jimmy’ Carter has died aged 100.
I had the privilege to take this portrait in 2007 at @BNC_Members when the former US President received an honorary degree (Doctor of Civil Law) from @UniofOxford #JimmyCarter #CarterTribute

@scottisaacsmd The epigenetic clock should reset after each cell division. However, adipocytes and neurones don't divide anymore at adult stage, so such memory may last for a very long time. This is also the reason why 'induced' psychiatric disorders are difficult to treat by epigenetically.

I won’t take any credits in this, but surely it is a privilege for having been the Personal Tutor of Isabelle Towell who received yesterday @TheDickVet Prize Gold Medal for the Most Distinguished BVM&S Student 2019-2024 @EdinburghUni. Well done Isabelle 🥇#graduation2024

Designed by @HerzogdeMeuron and completed after I left Oxford, it's been on my list for a while. It is interesting how the sky turns different brightness from top (direct) and mirrors at the bottom (left vs right)!

Did you know?
@BNC_Members @UniofOxford is getting a new organ, …made in Belgium!
and it’s not chocolate!
Better: I met the exceptional craftsmen doing the job and it turns that they are from my home town, Liege! 🤩
