After four years as director, I'm moving on from @ChrLeft this summer. If you've ever thought you'd like to apply for this mad, brilliant, unique job of mine, I'd be very happy to chat about it. Details here: w4mpjobs.org/JobDetails.aspx…

Hey America. God doesn’t want a “Christian Nation”. He wants a holy people.

How are London's churches going to cope with the massive influx of far right Christians in town today, as their thoughts inevitably turn to where they will worship and sing?

Next stop, Cambridge South 🚆 We're excited to hear that the new Cambridge South train station will open on Sunday 28 June, as announced today by @transportgovuk @SciTechgovuk . Cambridge South will link Europe’s largest life sciences cluster to key hubs like London, Stansted and Manchester - and in time Oxford - making it easier to bring together the people and ideas that drive discovery and improve patients’ lives worldwide. It will also open up access to opportunity. Better rail links mean more people can reach @CamBioCampus and @CUHPartners for study, research, jobs and training, while easing pressure on the city and attracting talent from further afield. The impact goes far beyond Cambridge, strengthening collaboration, expanding opportunity, and powering growth across the UK.

Sorry to see these players leave, but I guess that it is not unexpected. I enjoyed watching both of them in their prime 👏 #UTG
Bristol Rovers would like to thank Luke and Tom for their efforts and commitment during their time at the Club. Thomas played 158 times for the Gas, scoring 14 goals and was part of the 2021/22 team that gained promotion to League One. Lockyer came through Rovers' Academy and achieved back-to-back promotions with the Club from the Conference Premier to League One between 2014-16 before departing in 2019. The defender returned to the Pirates last November, almost two years after suffering a cardiac arrest playing for Luton Town and played 19 times for the Club this season. Overall, Lockyer made 303 appearances for Rovers, scoring seven times. Thank you for everything, lads 👏

Happy World DNA Day 🧬 The Eagle, owned by @CorpusCambridge for over 500 years, is known as the place where James Watson and Francis Crick rushed from the nearby @DeptofPhysics to share news of their DNA discovery. Today, a plaque outside marks the moment, and has become a must-see stop for visitors. The current plaque actually replaced an earlier version, which did not acknowledge the wider team behind the discovery, most notably Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Chris Howe, President of Corpus Christi College, explores DNA Day, graffiti, and some of the often-overlooked stories behind the science.
