February 2021 and lockdown continues, the rate of progress in vaccinating the UK is on track and offers us hope for the future. For many who haven't actually suffered illness I think these may have been the toughest weeks yet. Dark days and nights followed by a week of freezing and below. The views from our campus are pretty but the chilling winds have taken their toll on the amount of time spent outside. Lab work continues with progress being made in all our projects. We have two new pre-prints which are also undergoing review at PlosOne and Aging. Fingers crossed that these are received well.
