As the political climate around animal research becomes less supportive in the UK, it is our interest to argue for & protect organismal biology. BBSRC opened a survey, which gives us a timely platform. Please fill & share link among colleagues. Deadline: 9/2 engagementhub.ukri.org/mrc-bbsrc/la...

An elegant approach using a mix of technologies and making the most of resources generated over many years of research into the canonical Wnt pathway. And results which have the potential to andvance personalised treatment for some forms of cancer. Congrats @andrewwood.bsky.social and collaborators!
