Many thanks to Alice Macdonald MP who kindly hosted a Parliamentary Reception, on behalf of the University of East Anglia, last night. The reception was titled "Faster Smarter Earlier – UEA’s Mission to Transform Prostate Cancer Diagnosis" and was a great success.

"Epidemiology of Cholesteatoma in the UK Biobank" is published. Great work from PhD student Emma Wilson and something that is outside my normal Prostate Cancer research area.

This seems odd. A cancer microbiome machine learning paper that uses data from the retracted Poore et al. 2020 Nature paper has been published just last week in mSystems. Some of the claims seem very strong. Also, it seems to have been accepted four days after submission.

I had a great time at the ICGC prostate UK bioinformatics meeting last week based in the lovely St Andrews. Thanks to Andy Lynch for hosting (@dralynch) and the Isaac Newton Institute for funding.

This has been a long journey and I think it's the correct outcome. Thanks to everyone that has been involved, especially @abrahamgihawi.bsky.social who has been investigating this since his PhD days, and Steven Salzberg for really raising the analysis and awareness to another level.
