I hate the principle of self-service checkouts and try and see what I can get away with stealing without getting caught. My biggest win is a £80 wardrobe from IKEA. It's handy having a very innocent and calm face!

@ProfJochen @fede_luca_toni @IrishCancerSoc @Physiologyadmin @CentreSysmed Great work Fede!

@fede_luca_toni Well done Fede, what an amazing PhD supported by @IrishCancerSoc @BREAST_PREDICT - you produced five first author papers plus two co-authorships. Hope the Italian soccer team is as successful as you! @Physiologyadmin @CentreSysmed

Happy to share our latest contribution in the Bcl2 proteins field! In this short communication we show that overexpression of BCL2 and BCL(X)L improves mitochondrial dynamics and alters the gene expression profile of fusion\fission genes. @ProfJochen authors.elsevier.com/c/1dLFj_3pkdmv…
