Anyone have any suggestions where a very good international PhD student can get 'top-up' funding to cover the international fees? So many schemes seem to be home-fees only these days! #episky #publichealth

Leo just posted a 16-minute video summarizing the entire restoration process. Great place to start if you’re curious about what something like this entails, but don’t want to commit to 200+ episodes. Spoiler: it’s an insane amount of work! Basically a PhD in shipbuilding. youtu.be/dLjNRI2KtbY?...

Interesting study this, showing epigenetic memory within adipocytes. I know people will extrapolate all sorts from dieting, propensity to gain weight, etc... but on clinical level, biggest takeaway for me is the importance to prevent development of obesity in the first place. #epigenetics #MedSky
