This piece of work has been such an experience from start to finish.

Brilliant collaborators and fascinating biology.

It saw the emergence of the fantastic @FlissNoakes as an independent scientist - just awesome.

Tinged with sadness though. We lost Kirsty to angiosarcoma

@sccstreetsahead Managed to get out with a group effort of snow shovelling!

[Dr Fliss Noakes @FlissNoakes]

@sccstreetsahead No sign yet…

[Dr Fliss Noakes @FlissNoakes]

@sccstreetsahead This is amazing news, thank you, a plough is definitely needed, hoping to get out this afternoon

[Dr Fliss Noakes @FlissNoakes]

@sccstreetsahead Thank you, any update on progress?

[Dr Fliss Noakes @FlissNoakes]

@sccstreetsahead Thank you, do you know if they will cover the residential roads?

[Dr Fliss Noakes @FlissNoakes]

@SmittenKirsty Another incredible achievement and no doubt the first of many more to come! We’ll be here for you every step of the way xxx

@SmittenKirsty @GroupThomas @PhDVoice @PhDfriendSana @PhDForum @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter Amazing news!! Well done @SmittenKirsty 🎉🙌🏼

“We should be having a stricter lockdown, yet we’re got a more lax lockdown.“

SAGE member & Director of the Centre for Behaviour Change at UCL @SusanMichie says in colder weather and a more infectious variant, current measures need to be tougher

RNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and BioNTech and Moderna have become the first to be deployed in the fight against COVID-19. In @cenmag's latest #PeriodicGraphics by @compoundchem learn how these new vaccines are made: https://t.co/T1LGrfoeOV #FridayReads

@RichardBurgon The broad statement ‘go to work if you can’t work from home’ creates an extensive list of ‘critical’ workers that may also require childcare, putting more pressure on schools. This has already been highlighted in this @BBCNews article today.

@RichardBurgon Thanks for recognising this. I didn’t attend work in the first lockdown. Now PhD students are ‘essential’ workers as we must finish in a ‘timely manner’. We’re facing ‘risk work or suspend with no pay or extension.’ The priorities are wrong. Public health should come first.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Very worrying reports that more workers are having to go to work during this lockdown than in the March one.

Yet the new virus variant requires tougher action this time.

This is an emergency.

All non-essential workers who can’t work from home should be furloughed at 100% pay.

[Chloe Withers 💙 @Chloee_Withers]

And yet people that are non essential workers are still having to get the tube to work because the government guidelines are not clear enough to stop non essential work!

[Dr Fliss Noakes @FlissNoakes]

Why aren’t the rules as strict as the first lockdown when we need them most? Many more workers now ‘magically’ fall into the ‘essential’ category, forcing them to mix. All work not essential to the pandemic that can’t be done from home should cease. Enough is enough @BorisJohnson

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

BREAKING: I have declared a major incident in London because the threat this virus poses to our city is at crisis point.

One in 30 Londoners now has COVID-19. If we do not take immediate action now, our NHS could be overwhelmed and more people will die.
