Updated reversions.icr.ac.uk to include lots of new cases, including from our recent paper (doi.org/10.1016/j.annonc.202…). Now includes 759 reversions from 382 patients. Big thanks to @LorenaMagraner and @RachelAlcraft for annotations & maintenance @ICR_London @BreastCancerNow!

I'm keeping an eye on some hpc jobs running for work, while for my PhD I have video called myself to keep my laptop awake while a script runs for 24h. Just realised my PhD setup is a bit low tech.

Great talk by Kevin Cowtan! Really inspiring! Highlighting the crucial roles woman played in computing throughout history and suggesting steps to overcome the social stereotypes to programming and include equality and diversity in your research 👏 #CCP4SW

Happy World Diabetes Day, on Frederick Banting's birthday, this year celebrating 100 years of insulin. Let us not forget that type 1 diabetes treatment has progressed little in those 100 years - that life saving insulin still saves their lives multiply daily.

I carved a melon, it's a bit rubbish but at least we've eaten it.
Moodle has outdone itself and I've spent a miserable 2 hours all alone on zoom.
A trip to the lake district made out of necessity not choice, was unexpectedly joyous.

11yo turns out to have a secret second identity as a Scratch programmer, seems serious (she has 1000s of messages).
My kids learn French, Spanish, German and Latin. In Latin they translate (simple) sentences of classic literature of historic significance. In MFL they have to tell people who their favourite footballer or popstar is. Introverts deserve the chance to learn languages too!

I'm drinking instant black coffee made from a hot water dispenser, and I don't even know if it has caffeine in as the label has been (suspiciously) removed (but happily I'm on holiday, at my parents!).
Happy 4th diaversary to my daughter's diabetes.
Cheering myself up by looking at some of my plots. (Procrastinating from manually categorising 742 protein images).
