As a ban on selling #energydrinks to under-16s is put back on the policy agenda in England - @FabNaneix continues important work with @DThompsonlab on how they affect young brains and possible links to later substance abuse, thanks to a generous new grant from @TenovusScotland

An absolute pleasure to work with @nicolajsmith78 on this commentary, highlighting the challenges of orphan GPCRs and why moving our focus from a ligand centric approach could be key to unravelling their pharmacology. @AbdnLifeScience @AberdeenCDC nature.com/articles/s41594-0…
