25 years of molecular genetics and mouse models, now moving into translational nucleic acid therapies for rare disease. And drums.

@EloScicomm If it encourages debate/discussion between audience members when you've finished - not everyone has the confidence to ask a question

@DrGBuckingham Red flags?

@DrGBuckingham ...and finding that 'spark' may not come in the first 2 mins of an interview, I would argue your job as a fair panel is to try and find it

[PeterOliverLab @PeterOliverLab1]

@DrGBuckingham @mickcraig101 Looks great ! That reminds me, I must buy Guess Who? for my nephew.....

[PeterOliverLab @PeterOliverLab1]

@DrGBuckingham Evidence for genuine/specific enthusiasm for the subject/post and some straightforward preparation for the interview with intelligent questions speaks volumes. How have they overcome/addressed science not working? How do they find/read new science?

@LabWykes @SelinaWray ...insert obvious Prime Minister punchline...

@GarethMorris5 @DNS_UOM @mern_UoM Great stuff! All the best for the lab!

[PeterOliverLab @PeterOliverLab1]

@dgonzales1990 Journal clubs are valuable as above - but easy to get bogged-down in criticising messy Westerns etc. Encourage discussing novelty / impact / context in the field / clarity / interpretation etc. too when group are ready, as you would a reviewer. Use reviewer templates as guides

Good to see @guardian @hannahdev highlighting exciting innovations in epilepsy treatments. Thanks also to @PeterOliverLab1 @NATAhub_org for highlighting the potential this innovation has an alternative to surgery.
