Chilling to see this list of terminated NIH grants. Research on Alzheimer's, HIV, rare diseases, vaccines -- gone. Cancer centers closed, training grants & fellowships terminated. Young scientists stranded. Patients waiting for treatments that'll never come. Just sad.

Back at work today after an amazing ARUK Research Conference, feeling even more fired up to find a cure. Such an honour and a privilege to be awarded this year's David Hague award and join the list of amazing scientists to have received the award in previous years. Now the work begins.. #foracure 🧠

Baking is for eating, so as long as it tastes good, you're on to a winner in my book!
