Lab lunch (outdoors and socially distanced!) to celebrate Dafni's paper, and that we're all back at work.

Our review on what gastrointestinal neurons do and how/why they change is out today in Curr Opin Neurobiol. Well done Tomo, Laura and Hannah for putting it together.

We enjoyed the English summer (yes there is such a thing) with a nice walk in Wendover and Aylesbury Vale including, of course, a pub lunch.

Irene was elected to the Academy of Medical Sciences as a Fellow. She looks forward to contributing to the Academy's mission.
