Congrats to Dr Fine! My loyal lab manager/servant of 6 yrs studied part time for a PhD, which he got over the line today! Onwards and upwards for Nick, making the rules as a facility manager. Thanks @miRNAgirl and @paulwcaton for the grilling! @IMSR_UoB

@ConnarWestgate In light of this exciting new discovery it might be the least boring part of the brain.

@nicholas_fine ,told you choroid plexus was cool
