Brilliant to see the arrival of this incredible #genetic sequencer - it can look at almost all of an individual’s genetic information in a single test within 24 hours. Will form an integral part of our dedicated joint NHS and university research facility. @NIHRresearch @ExeterBRC

With this pioneering sequencer we can deliver ground-breaking translational human genetic research, providing more diagnoses and improving clinical outcomes for NHS patients. Here’s the moment it arrived @illumina @SWGLH @ExeterBRC @ExeterMed @NHSgms @NIHRresearch @ExeterGenomes

#askray what’s the one thing you would want to see happen to make things more level for the hard of hearing community?


Excellent @UniofExeter look forward to the opportunity #Racism exists & we don’t enter the conversation as equals but we can alter perceptions & perspectives Active listening should be a universal & legitimate currency. “Where do we want to go and how do we want to get there?”

Sometimes things in life don’t have to be prefect and just good enough really will do 🤔 Improvised ligature around a deeply split fig tree & wooden prop are just enough to keep growing & yield delicious gifts. Great metaphor for life. Tx for all the messages of support.

Lost my mum today. 90y & 7 coronary stents but mentally agile, frail ready to go. Feeling self conscious asks “Do you think anyone will stare at an elderly Asian in a pink sari in a wheelchair?” No I relied there are always loads in Dorset No what? No one did! Live life!

Sometimes your day job sucks. Now and then something wonderful happens. Someone you never really knew or recall comes up to thank you for what you did, you said, a passing comment, nod or smile. That was all it was. It didn’t feature on your radar but it featured on theirs.
