Researchers at the Crick, working with @UCL and @ImperialCollegeLon, have discovered a new biological pathway that drives inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and can be targeted using existing drugs.

Strongest aurora in 20 years this evening.
This is the astounding view as far south as Switzerland a short while ago …on top of Jungfraujoch 😍😍

Tromsø geboekt! Begin Dec met 2 vriendinnen. 4 dagen, dus goed plannen! Heeft iemand tips voor goeie tours? 😄 En kun je die beter vantevoren boeken of juist daar? 🦌❄️🏔️ #noorwegen#norway#reizen
✨ Vandaag is het alweer 4 jaar geleden dat mijn lieve zusje Kelly er voor ‘koos’ deze wereld te verlaten en het gemis voelt nog net zo intens.
Ik zou willen dat niemand ooit zelfdoding mee hoeft te maken 😔
Ook dit jaar mogen we bijzondere muzikale wensen laten uitkomen van mensen met kanker op @pinkpopfest.
We gaan het zo mooi mogelijk maken!

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
