I’m not involved in this in any way, I just think it’s great and encourage anyone eligible to submit. If I were involved I might be inclined to suggest broadening the scope of submission beyond just an essay. What about a poem constructed in Iambic pentameter? That would be epic.

The IUPHAR British Pharmacological Society Guide to Pharmacology is introducing commercial access fees. We want to keep GtoPdb open-access for all, but current funding landscapes means the future maintenance, curation and sustainability of GtoPdb is at risk.

Today is the 50th Anniversary of the movie JAWS which was originally released on the 20th June 1975. #Jaws50 It's also your occasional reminder that Robert Shaw who played Quint in the movie, grew up and went to school in Stromness #Orkney where his father was a doctor. 🦈

An osteoblast will lay down the osteoid, Within this freshly laid bone some remain. That’s not the end of its plight, It becomes an osteocyte, And relays signals of bone stress and strain.

The joys of small vessel myography, When you don’t know whether to cry or to laugh. When the vessel’s prepared, With the upmost of care, Only to disappear, without trace, in the bath.
