Why are @FedExHelp so useless? Just want my parcel. Virtual assistant basically tells me to be more patient. Live agent is a 30 minute queue just to be bumped back to the virtual assistant. #grumpy
Something so satisfying about this man’s refusal to take the bait with the usual leading questions on migration. Just calmly & stubbornly fair-minded, straightforward, no nonsense answers in a perfect Wexford accent right in the middle of the town. 10/10
Great to speak to @josephtiman from @MENnewsdesk about the groundbreaking research at @uk_biobank which is vital to delivering our health mission.

“This research is helping us develop the treatments that will improve & hopefully prolong all our lives."
@peterkyle visits @uk_biobank as the government & @AWScloud deliver a joint £16m funding to improve data storage that will help researchers deliver medical breakthroughs.
Read our full response to the new @InstituteGC data trust report where our CEO, Professor Rory Collins, highlights how “Long-term funding for research matters, as consented cohort studies like UK Biobank show.” https://t.co/RMA016LWHb
At the end of last year I was fortunate enough to take part in a joint workshop on AI, hosted by @NIHRresearch and @RCRadiologists
It was a fascinating day & my talk, along with the others, have now been posted on the RCR YouTube channel.

It was a pleasure to welcome our Secretary of State @michelledonelan and especially our wonderful participants to our @uk_biobank imaging centre in Stockport this week. Once again reminding us of the importance of the research and future scientific discoveries that we enable.
🧬@UK_Biobank makes a huge contribution to science.
Its research has the potential to detect Parkinson’s sooner, and tackle heart disease.
This week @michelledonelan visited Manchester Science Park to officially mark the future site of UK Biobank’s new £75m centre.
The festive season is upon us and we're reflecting on some of our highlights from 2023, with thanks to our amazing participants, super UKB staff, and wonderful scientific community. We hope you have a Merry Christmas and look forward to more exciting milestones in the New Year!🧵
Earlier this week I had the pleasure to chair a talk on our imaging enhancement project, with a special focus on our Cheadle site, which is soon to finish the 'initial' phase of imaging.
Some fantastic questions & the talk from Dr McManus was fascinating.

We’re @uk_biobank data donors in this house, happy to help researchers understand more about health and illness. It’s sad that most GPs don’t feel the same way says @pollytoynbee. She’s right. https://t.co/DBBWK2T7hS
An old school friend discovered she has an aggressive form of cancer whilst on vacation in the US. A blessing in many ways but also a reminder that travel insurance can only go so far...
