Very gentle stroll back post #londonmarathon with my @HoulstonLab_ICR lab mates. What an amazing day! #London came out in force, supporting all the runners 🩷Today was a personal goal for me, but loved seeing lots of #RoyalMarsden and #ICR fundraisers out there!

However fast you run, you'll always be overtaken by a person in fancy dress 🤣 (I was definitely overtaken by this helicopter). Incredible running for a great cause! #londonmarathon2024

A helicopter?🤯

@SP_EnergyPeople Assuming a call out fee of £100 for my plumber, I'm sacrificing 2 weeks+ of food shopping, for a cost which is only a ten millionth (literally) of the profits of Scottish power last year (based on 1bn profit last year).

[Molly Went @went_thataway]

@SP_EnergyPeople Thank you- I have sent through a message. So far I have been told it will be 7 days for a complaint to be processed to decide whether you can cover the cost of a plumber call out. Surely this can't be correct?

[Molly Went @went_thataway]

@SP_EnergyPeople I've had a really difficult time with staff in customer services to be honest, including being cut off after I said that it wasn't the national grid's responsibility, they insisted it wasn't anything they could do and hung up. Just seemed very bizarre. Who else can I speak to?

[Molly Went @went_thataway]

I have tried 3 times to get help from you and been told it is not your problem. I have been sent to @SGNgas & @nationalgriduk (thanks both for your patience) on the way, neither of which had a clue why I called them. 2/n

Celebrating the completion of a manuscript :) When a reviewer throws shade on your work, rebut the comment and ice it on a cake

#MerryChristmas from the Houlston Lab! Wishing everyone peace, happiness and well-deserved rest! Here's some pics from our Christmas dinner earlier this month at @EatLeBab in @BatterseaPwrStn including some ice skating @glideatbps

Here's to a prosperous and innovative New Year!

The results are in! The winner of this year's #mincepie #tastetest is ... @GAILsBakery ! With @trufflesbakerysussex and @Pullins_Bakery coming in close behind. Interestingly Iceland had the lowest variance, perhaps explaining why they're often so well received

[Houlston Lab, ICR @HoulstonLab_ICR]

It's time for the annual Houlston Lab #mincepie taste test! This year we've decided to mix it up a bit and added in some non-supermarket bakeries. Who will be the winner?!

Attending the @GenomicsEngland Research Summit? Our team member Andy has a cool interactive poster (Poster 2) on mutational signatures across multiple cancers. Spin the dials and put stickers to generate your own signature! Come say hi! #GERS2023
