Postdoc in the Kulathu lab at the MRC PPU. Bright Clubber. Runner. Goes on trains a lot. General purpose nerd. Views own, and probably rubbish.
I had this travelling down to England once. Dozed off in the passenger seat, woke up, and there was this train right in front of us. Cue life flashing before my eyes before I realised what was going on.

I don't think it's possible to be more jealous than the level of jealous I am right now.

The main passport page is on polycarbonate now. Just shrink it down a bit, stick some stuff on the back if needbe, and you'd be most of the way there.

Definitely. Toss up between Finland and Sweden for me this year. Expected another ballad from the latter, but it's also delightfully mad.

Finland just keep bringing bangers and I appreciate it.

Congrats, Leo! Very cool. Really interesting that the trunk vs branch identity gives such different behaviour.

Definitely the smart option. I did Marcothon in December (25 mins/5 k, whatever comes first) which was a bit of a trial by fire 😅
