We are delightful to receive funding from NC3Rs to enable bioreactor based production of stem cell derived beta cells at BetaCell Birmingham! birmingham.ac.uk/university/col…
We have committed £4.85M across 21 awards to accelerate non-animal approaches, supported by @SciTechgovuk. Discover more about the funded projects which include collaborations across disciplines, sectors and institutes nationwide: nc3rs.org.uk/news/ps485m-ac…
Dr. David Hodson (@daveyboyhod) and team show that GLP1R is enriched as nanodomains on beta cell membranes that contact alpha cells, in keeping with increased single-molecule transcript expression. 💡 Learn more: bit.ly/451mubz

I’m sad for youth who will inevitably outsource their writing to ChatGPT. It will impoverish their minds and in turn the world at large.
Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
