Good to see @basl_events advertise the #AndyBurroughs award 2026

The no. of applications has reduced in recent years which will be related to imposter syndrome rather than a lack of young UK research talent

Reasons to apply:
- Why not
- Platform to present
- Legacy is important

Absolute joke that the Burnley game has been moved to the Monday at this late notice. So many fans of both clubs out of pocket having booked flights, hotels, travel, etc. So many now won't be able to go because of work issues, childcare, etc.

Final home game of the season, place should be bouncing afterwards, especially if there is something on the Palace game for Arsenal. Supporters roaring the team on at the lap of appreciation, etc, before they head to Selhurst Park.

Yet that will probably be at about 10.30/10.45pm now, probably to a half empty stadium because do many have to get off for trains, etc.

It's just a disgraceful situation. Again, zero thought for fans at all. Broadcasters just don't care.

1/ This week I saw a 66-year-old lady with ALD cirrhosis who had turned her life around with 3-yrs of abstinence.

However, she drank 4 bottles of 0% beer/day. This felt like a red flag but I had to go away and look at the data.

🧵Here's a #tweetorial about what I learnt...
