@anzelikarubina I get in for 6.30, and sometimes there's a space. If not, it's a case of waiting...By 7.30 there is more movement but the queues are horrendous. It's such a waste of time....sometimes I get the laptop out and work in the car. Shouldn't be this hard to get to place of work!

2024 has been a difficult year - one of significant ups and downs, and one of big decisions. Throughout it all, the group have been amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better lot to work with. Wishing them, and you all, a very merry Christmas 🎄 and best wishes for 2025.
Ad-vent is (almost) complete! Wishing all our friends and collaborators a wonderful festive break and all the best for 2025. May your grants be funded and may your papers be accepted with minor revisions! All the best from the VITAL lab! 🧫 🧪 🥼 🦠 🎅
