I don't normally write this sort of tweet but I am at the end of my tether. My PhD is funded by ubel-dtp part of the Economic and Social Research Council and I have not received a stipend payment for 47 days. I simply do not know how I am expected to live on pay I received in August

Such a pleasure to work with world-leading research groups + contribute to a new landmark nature paper. We found an Africa-specific variant of CHD1L gene that could limit HIV infection in macrophages, a HIV-1 reservoir that leads to viremia in patients. nature.com/articles/s4158…
