Researchers in @ScienceTM show that lowering the highly toxic Htt1a transcript with siRNA delays huntingtin (HTT) aggregation and corrects transcriptional dysregulation more effectively than targeting full-length, mutant HTT. https://t.co/xqTxHCvbTz

Last longish training run back from the lab done before next weekends London Marathon! Special thanks to @PeterAttiaMD for his podcasts and lately his Outlive audiobook that have helped distract from all the long time on legs.

This was so moving. Spontaneously stopped off at the London Bridge station organ to play a couple of pieces for the Queen. This lovely security guard, Marcella, asked if I could play Lascia ch'io pianga. Turns out she trained as a singer! ❤️😭

This is incorrect. Greater Tokyo is actually in Japan

Once a year, for a rare moment at 7:15 AM EDT on July 8th, 99% of the world's population will be in the Sun. About 6.4 billion people in the daytime, while more than 1.2 billion people experience twilight. How cool is that! Source: https://t.co/5fN1IaFR3c

@JamesTheDraper Aren’t they just mince pies for when it’s not Xmas?!

@SelinaWray I thought I saw you down there. My daughter got bored of running between the two fire pits in the rain so we had to leave before the singing started.
