Fabulous introduction to drug discovery for neuroscience this afternoon from Duncan Miller, @TheYueLab, @KateMadden17, Agnieszka Bronowska and @ProfAndyWhiting (@nevrargenics) Huge thanks to them all, and especially to Kate for programming!
The @UniofNewcastle Stephenson Engineering Building is looking good! The building's engineering, the number of young apprentices from across the #NorthEast & the use of local materials are impressive.
I'm sure the stunning design will inspire NE engineers for generations.
