Do they resonate with what you do? Are there exciting areas that could be added? Have your say, will only take a few min - be part of shaping the future direction of UK PoL research!

Ravenglass, Cumbria. Nice.

Top of Muncaster Fell, Cumbria. Simply awesome!

Morning cycling ride, shadow of Scafell Pike. Super.

Full line up of speakers available for the Celebrating Tom McLeish event - and boy, what a stellar line up it is: polymer science, rheology, physics of life, humanities, faith. Worth attending even if you did not know Tom well! dur.ac.uk/research/insti…

Check out the British Biophysical Society Biennial Meeting! September 11th - 13th in Swansea!

Just one week to go until the registration deadline! Such a great line up of speakers for Celebrating Tom McLeish, 2-4th September in Durham.

Proper runners look away now… new 5k pb, first time I broke 23 on my local #parkrun course Millfields Easingwold N Yorks #stillalive

Final call to engage with Physics of Life survey on the draft UK Physics of Life Roadmap. Community input will ensure all perspectives are represented, so please do take 5 minutes of your day to complete. forms.office.com/r/WvPSumJARp

Saddened to hear of passing of Graham Dunn. We supped the odd pint near Drury Lane’s Randall Institute where he made transformative insights into chemotaxis: tacit, dour, hugely talented microscopist, one of the remarkable few to have had a Chamber named after him RMS

Remember to register for BBS biennial meeting in beautiful Swansea 11-13 September. @bpsiyork will deliver a Physics of Life roadmap session to engage the biological physics community. Oh and did we mention BBQ by the beach?! 😎 britishbiophysicss.wixsite.com/swansea2024

Keyhaven, New Forest. Run. Nice

Keyhaven beach. Little windy. Isle of Wight Needles in background.

Super to kick off durham.ac.uk/research/insti… with Peter Olmsted reminiscing about his eduction due to Tom ⁦Physics of Life⁩

Getting ready for Day 2 of a biomolecular condensate meeting… in what appears to be a Cambridge chapel…. I cannot help but think dear ⁦Tom McLeish⁩ would have more than a wry a smile…
