Can’t wait to read this!! Autobiography of one of the best. Also the drummer for the greatest indie band of all time.

12 months ago I was diagnosed with suspected rheumatoid arthritis. It came on suddenly in July 2024 and within 3 months I could hardly walk. I took methotrexate and sulfasalazine for 6 months then they added a monoclonal. Today I am symptom free and in remission. Grateful for the NHS. And science.

Great weekend in Coventry. It’s a great city and everyone we met was lovely. We went for the football and stayed for the Coventry Music Museum. Highly recommended. I even got to add Bearsuit to their bands door!!

Had a great time at Coventry vs Norwich yesterday. Our first away game this season. Respect to Cov fans for being friendly and welcoming before and after the game. Shame we only got a point but we were outclassed so quite lucky really. COYY!

A new bench at JIC in memory of Helen Kieser. She moved to Norwich with David Hopwood in the 1960s and was instrumental in establishing the Streptomyces group and Molecular Microbiology @johninnescentre.bsky.social. Hard to overstate her importance to the #streptomyces field and community.

Good morning world! it’s promising to be a beautiful day in Norwich. Coffee in the garden is a great start. And the clematis are flowering 😊

Streptomyces coelicolor mutants over-producing the blue and red antibiotics actinorhodin and undecylprodigiosin. We work on the most beautiful bacteria. Strains made by Kelly, final year PhD student in the lab. #microsky #streptomyces

Sad news. Another awesome drummer gone

No idea how we can lose to Plymouth. Just not good enough. But at least Ipswich lost
