Paper accepted (in very nice journal!). Thank you to the reviewers whoever you are. I’m excited to have other read it and we can debate the “reframing” and I shall
Alert my CIHR reviewers too (especially R3)
OMG I may have just gotten the best reviews of my life to a VERY nice journal. This does make the CIHR grant rejection (on same topic!!) more palatable.
Omg Wow

What a fantastic #ICN2026 congress! More than 50 members of the French Society of Neuroendocrinology (SNE) participated, including many early-career researchers. Great science and colleagues, and a wonderful location made this an unforgettable meeting. Looking forward to Cancun in 2030 🤩!

Like I always say, the Centre for Neuroendocrinology (CNE) Otago is the Disney of neuroendocrinology - the happiest place on earth! What an absolutely fabulous group that came all the way to Japan for the #ICN2026 🧠🌟 Can’t wait to see you all again in Cancun for #ICN2030 🍀

Fantastic CNE turnout at #ICN2026 in Nagoya, Japan! It was wonderful to see so many CNE members attending, presenting their research and connecting with colleagues from around the world!

Never too old to be presenting a poster at conference!

If you missed me at the poster session I'm still around for the rest of the meeting.

Thank you @bsneuroendo.bsky.social for the travel grant to Nagoya for the #ICN2026!

Kevin O'Byrne the deserving awardee of @bsneuroendo.bsky.social Mortyn Jones memorial lecture at @infneuroendo.bsky.social #ICN2026.

Starting off by paying tribute to his collaborators and "science family" who keep the work fun.

I keep his advice as a reminder on the whiteboard in my office:

Now presenting the Geoffrey Harris memorial lecture is the incredible Prof Holly Ingraham from UCSF. This is the highest honour in our field and I can’t think of a more deserving recipient. Her work on diseases in female physiology is nothing short of remarkable! 🧠🌟
