A psychedelic compound best known for its effects on the brain may help prevent one of chemotherapy's most debilitating side effects—chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, researchers report in Science.
In mouse models, as few as two doses of psilocybin given before treatment durably prevented CIPN through multiple cycles of chemotherapy, while preserving both nerve function and the therapies’ tumor-killing effects.

With AlphaFold we mapped the protein universe - now with AlphaGenome Atlas we’re charting the human genome. It can predict the impact of all 9 billion possible single-letter DNA variants, helping scientists better understand disease. Freely available for academic research: alphagenome.google/atlas

Exciting news: right in the middle of #AAIC2026, EMERALD was been awarded £1.5M from the Dementia Frontiers Fund working with the fantastic @sj_marzi and @HolstegeHenne, we'll use epigenomics to ask why some centenarians stay cognitively sharp despite extreme age #100plusStudy.

JUST IN: 🇩🇰🇺🇸 Danish reporter slammed NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte live on camera:
"You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain.
Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Russell Shaw noticed that he texted the same phrase to his kids 133 times. In hindsight, he sees profound meaning in it, and a lesson for other parents.

A real long shot but can people retweet this please.
Yesterday all my items were stolen in Eastbourne including my stats book which has 20 years worth of details in. Laptops, phones, clothes, shavers etc can all be replaced but this can’t and is useless to anyone else. It’s in a plastic folder you can see in the left hand side of this photo. Can anyone in that neck of the woods please keep an eye out. I’m gutted about this.

A Lulu update and a desperate plea below.
@BaliAid are a tiny charity, funded entirely by your donations and continually struggling to be seen. I try but I need your help. Please give whatever you can, there is no amount too small, and repost as widely as possible. Thank you ❤️
A little update on Lulu
She is doing good so far. Unable to move on her own, but maybe in a couple of weeks we will try to get her on her feet 🤞🏻 For now she has to be laid on her side, healing. We have to keep turning her so she doesn't get sore. It's pretty sad to see her this way, because we're used to seeing her running around and lively. We know it's for her own good and the results will be worth it in the end 🙏🏻🐾🐶❤
We are desperately low on funds. Many 'likes' and views, but we're really struggling with donations coming in 😞
All we ask is if you can spare anything to help us keep going, it would be so much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
To help us, you can donate any amount here: paypal.me/lovinaAW
Bank details for transfer are here:

Thank you so much for your help! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🐾🐶❤❤❤

I hope this Farage supporting idiot who harassed our fantastic Chancellor loses business over this.
Thick, rude, misogynistic, and gullible.
I wouldn't trust him to water my plants.

Surprised to discover that Thermo Fisher appears to show a fake western blot for the validation of one of their p53 antibodies. I've added a diagram to show the very similar bands. This does not appear to be one of the "published figures", but their own internal data.

Homeopathy postulates that a remedy becomes more effective when the active ingredient has been diluted out of existence.
It’s a $1.2 billion industry in the US alone.
It is expensive nothing.
All fraud.
