@Bhattacharjee__ Thanks, Arin. 😀

@DrJonLippiat This fantastic!

Size matters. There's a very important amino acid in the intracellular domains of KNa1.1 (KCNT1) channels that controls sodium-activation. If it's changed to a smaller one, the channel flips into the sodium-activated state, but any larger it's locked inactive. #ionchannels

An impromptu weekend away to a castle and spa in the middle of the countryside.

@DonnellyDan @aomholmes @JButtressSci And the same old, unstable, and knackered lecturer. Great having you around, Alex, and sorry for spoiling some if the mystery behind the project.
