Here are some personal thoughts on the ongoing Hantavirus outbreak in my role as President of the Microbiology Society. I had the privilege of spending an evening with Ho Wang Lee, the discoverer of Hantaviruses in Korea, drinking single malt whiskey

What a game. This video was in a quiet period! Privilege to be there. How have we got here from 2 years ago? Scunthorpe is a remarkable place.
The seafront at Southend. Been a few times and seen us win before. Today the team and the fans were exceptional. What a match! @SUFCOfficial #uti
Nice new ground for me. Lovely surface so hoping for a good game. #UTI
Barrie Thomas, perhaps @SUFCOfficial greatest player passes away aged 88. Was an 8 year old watching his hat trick vs Blackpool in the 6-2 FA Cup win in 1961 and a schoolboy watching his 5 goals against Luton in 1965. Never to be forgotten. Will think of him at Eastleigh tonight.
Not posted recently but wanted to thanks @SUFCOfficial #sufc, #UTI , the players and fellow fans for a great day and brilliant performance on my second trip to Tamworth. I was the guy with the binoculars!

We recently took a tour around the Scunthorpe site on a diesel pacer with the Appleby Frodingham Railway.
This night tour gave a completely different view of the site as you can see in this video clip taken from the front seat. 🚆🌙

❗️EXCLUSIVE: We’ve just captured this astonishing drone footage of the breached Bridgewater Canal in Dunham Massey.
It shows the damage suffered by the canal in last night’s flooding and the extent to which it has leaked into the neighbouring fields.

#OnThisDay in 1928, Sir Alexander Fleming FRS discovered penicillin when he recorded a bacteria-killing mold growing in his lab. Rather than throw the dish away, he decided to observe it under a microscope. Find out more about the origins of penicillin: artsandculture.google.com/st…

A glider in the Peak District recently found himself flying alongside one of the released #WhiteTailedEagles - G813. He managed to capture some footage of this very special moment. Thanks to Derbyshire & Lancashire Gliding Club for sharing.
