Researcher and Teacher. Humo(u)r and science. Ion channels and sea urchins, not necessarily together. Plenty of nature too. Opinions my own.

Fantastic film Justine by Stephanie Turner @FootballBrat Has characters all of whom you sympathize with, and all of whom you see their flaws. A film about grief, depression and neglect, without explicitly being about grief, depression and neglect, but also an uplifting film.

It is such a pleasure to see that a black hole looks just like the first cryo-EM structure of the acetylcholine receptor determined by Nigel Unwin and Alain Brisson back in 1985!
