In a 72-page mag, the final feature has to be powerful and forward-looking. Glenn Crocker of @PioneerGrp stepped up to the editorial plate with an overview of UK life sciences, and a reminder to @UKSPA members that data is always the key to understanding. breakthroughdigital.co.uk/is…

Easy to understand how Jennifer Townsend has so swiftly become a @knightfrank partner. Data. Analysis. Original observations. An avalanche of thoughts about potential pix. Wins an extra bonus point too for ideas about other content. #LifeSciences breakthroughdigital.co.uk/is…

No idea how he did it, but Adrian Brown rose (several times) from his sick-bed to chart the impressive rise of @itechohealth1 - and also made a sterling job as an unofficial ambassador for the Nexus campus within @UniversityLeeds breakthroughdigital.co.uk/is…

@AberInnovation continues to expand, in scale and purpose, within the @AberUni campus, and all that lies within was precisely explained by @HaywardRhian - admirably supported by the indefatigable @DaviesTeleri breakthroughdigital.co.uk/is…
