I made it to the FameLab North East Regional Final using this video talking about my scientific research!

It's tomorrow 13th April at Teesside! I hope it goes well 🙂

I thought I'd share this, since it's an okay non-scientific summary of my research 🙂

This #MLKDay, we're looking back to 1967 when we became the only UK university to award Dr Martin Luther King an honorary degree during his lifetime.

Take a look at his passionate and moving acceptance speech, delivered in our very own King's Hall 👇

Our new publication is out - PDIA6 and Maspin in Prostate Cancer - we show for the first time that PDIA6 increase may be involved in prostate cancer. The image is showing that RNA levels of PDIA6 are highly increased in prostate cancer when compared to normal tissue - link below

A new paper out with @SpringerNature in Animal Cognition! Long in the making, as @jcaread and I worked out how to do ROC memory analyses on coal tits searching for their caches. Coal tits mostly use familiarity, not recollection, when retrieving caches: https://t.co/ySbT6SA0YJ
