I have been on this earth for a very long time but this is the first time I have seen an unfinished pylon. I guess it should be obvious they have to be constructed by someone but I am quite awestruck nevertheless

Just had a lovely long weekend in Paris. Very impressed with this metallic balloon thing! Probably the only visitors to the city with no clue the Tour de France was happening…

Reader, I was that sister. Photo of a photo so not very clear but the DNA icing was *beautiful*. Bride and groom on top are wearing labcoats and holding Gilsons, too. 32 years ago this week!

If you are coming to #BNA2025 (and I think there's still scope for last minute registration) do come to our session on "Shared Mechanisms of Rare Genetic Epilepsies" on Tuesday afternoon (and say hello!)
