This is Mariano Barbacid, a Spanish cancer researcher who recently made the news after finding a cure for an aggressive form of pancreatic cancer in mice. His lab developed a new triple therapy regimen targeting the KRAS cancer pathway, implicated in 90% of pancreatic cancers. The combination of daraxonsib, a RAS(ON) inhibitor, afatinib (EGFR/HER2 inhibitor) and SD36 (a selective STAT3 PROTAC) led to complete elimination of tumour cells over a 200 day study period, bringing much needed hope to this often devastating condition.

Dear Alfie, My mother died recently in an NHS university hospital after a battle with cancer. On the ward she was looked after by members of the Royal Army Medical Services. She raved about them. Said they had β€˜incredible dedication, compassion and skill’. My mother herself had been a QRANC so knew what good nursing looked liked. They took care of her and me until her last breath and I am ever so grateful to them. The Royal Army Medical Service is delivering outstanding care in our civilian hospitals every single day, I’m not sure many soldiers know that, but they should. Their service goes beyond the battlefield and they are true heroes in scrubs. I wrote to their commanding officer thanking them. Grateful if you could amplify my thanks #RAMS #thankful

Would it be crazy to admit that I kind of miss this.....
FOST begins. βš“οΈπŸ’₯ Today HMS DUNCAN sailed, checked systems, fired every gun, for exercise saved a manoverboard with the sea boat & for exercise dealt with a small fire onboard Why? Because readiness isn’t optionalβ€”it’s earned #HMSDUNCAN #FOST #TrainHardFightEasy #LastAndBest

The last few months of learning how to be a civilian and a practice nurse have been wobbly to say the least. However I really feel like I'm settling into the role now and absolutely love it! ❀️

As we head towards Remembrance weekend, please remember to be kind. If you see a women wearing medals on her left- don’t ask her if they are hers, don’t question her integrity. Those medals are hers and like many others she will be proud to wear them #Remembrance #wornwithpride

First you see it, now you don’t! Thank you @marksandspencer for gifting me these specially designed stoma knickers with built in support for bags! …the first ever on the British high street! These are perfect for every day wear but I especially look forward to wearing them when out running as they are so comfy! I am a size 10 in knickers and these fit me true to size. You can shop the Brazilian knickers now before they all sell out! marksandspencer.com/l/linger… – at London, England

Found the perfect house, but it's in a terrible catchment area for schools. @rightmove can we please have an option to search by catchment area πŸ˜…

This is your reminder to listen to everyone when they tell you to save everything in one place for your revalidation 🀒

It takes a remarkable person to work in nursing. Yet for too long they have been overworked, underpaid and many are now at breaking point.
