The journal were generous with revision extensions while I was on maternity leave, and @BenjaminKrishn3 did heroic extra experiments to get us over the line.

Can't find any evidence here that this is actually happening though? Biochemistry has gone back to closed book exams now that COVID restrictions are over (ie for the last two years).

At some point in the last ten years (it’s hard to tease out exactly when) we crossed a boundary that no one celebrated: Most people diagnosed with cancer in the United States of America this year will not be killed by that cancer. Yes, outcomes have improved.

I tried putting my biochemistry mock exam questions into ChatGPT. It does surprisingly well, but not brilliantly (high 2:2). Right now the smoking gun is eloquent writing, vast information but poor knowledge synthesis. I’m sure it will cover that gap though

There's a concept called the "Gentlemen's Third" where you get the lowest pass mark possible and spend your time making friends and having fun (essentially networking) which was much more useful in the long term

Been asked to review a paper on the protein BAK, which I’ve never worked on. I genuinely think I’ve been selected as BAK is my initials

"Please use mm3 for cubic millimetres and not CUMM" I'm just going to leave it at that and hope the authors figure out why.

This year @MedCambridge hosted 4 EPLS students in our labs. It was a really fun and valuable experience for everyone involved. Looking forward to doing it again next year!

I needed a sample of cells which are dead, but killed gently so I can run them through a flow cytometer. I was in the lab past midnight gently heating cells over and over until they die. They're surprisingly robust!
