Reflections from #ISEV2026 🇵🇷Great to see advances in the fields understanding of foundational and translational extracellular vesicle biology.
Thankful to @IsevOrg and our research funders including @bbsrc for the opportunity to attend and present @ImperialInfect @ajwebb1979

#WorldNTDDay is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when countries, partners, & communities unite behind a shared mission.
With 58 countries having eliminated at least one NTD, the momentum is real.

Hey, Justice Secretary @DavidLammy, do you agree with the former Shadow Justice Secretary?

New evidence shows the Chagos Islands had elected leaders and were self-governing prior to being deported
Baroness Chapman claimed the islands had ‘never been self-governing’ or a had a permanent population
The government has been caught red-handed lying

The statement from Rachel Reeves speech that really got me was
"Each of us must do our bit"
But what for?
Why are we doing our bit?
For a sky rocketing welfare bill, billions wasted on Net Zero, crime rates through the roof, billions on interest payments and public services which are getting worse.
The counter argument is that, this is caused by the government not having enough money to do this.
But I totally disagree - this government has chosen policies which are grounded in envy rather than strong fiscal logic.
They've created a culture in the UK in which achievement is not celebrated but punished.
In business, culture is important to attract, retain and nurture talent - a country has a culture as well and ours is getting worse.
I feel like I'm watching a train wreck in slow motion and despite labour promising in their manifesto that taxes for working people won't be raised - today, felt like the pre cursors for that.
Unfortunately, good, decent, working people are the ones that suffer due to governments incompetence

It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.
We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.
Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis

So it turns out the darling of the Left supporting immigration on #BBCQT was just another plant.
The BBC must think we’re stupid.

A child is hit by a cyclist jumping a red light …..
Lobby members are pushing for this action to be legal….
You MUST stop at red lights ….
It’s for safety ….
This poor child payed the price for this reckless behavior by this cyclist.
Truly disgusting….

Grateful to be featured on the @BBCTheOneShow tonight showcasing the important work of @LLTGL and the @MightyOrgamites in promoting organ donation awareness in primary schools. Despite the law change @NHSBT stats released today show consent rate has dipped.

I recently met with shopkeepers and retail staff in Hounslow who had been targeted & threatened with violence.
It's clear both the Police & Government aren't doing enough to protect shop staff and keep them safe. 👇

Outer membrane vesicles (#OMVs) are attractive vehicles for delivering therapeutic agents because of their ability to interact with host #cells and their natural immunogenic properties.
