Now I get to say; "...did I ever tell you about the time I hung around with an actual Professor at the University of Cambridge?" :lol:

Big congrats DTEN, happy for ya!

If you need an absolute specimen to inspect, send me over 😂

All the men in my family before me have either died from or had a heart attack at 57.

Congrats @Explosive Newt! 8-)

Does this mean you'll still do research or now you're very much in a teaching / support role?

Outstanding news. I won't try to come up with a heart or blood based pun - too much pressure.

In a similar vein, I too will refrain from making puns.

I suppose I should say that I remember when DTEN was being a bit cautious on older versions of the forum.

And now he's a fucking Professor of Cardiology. At Cambridge.

They grow up so fast

A classic aston. A BD3. Getting out of a Valkyrie at Cambridge would be frightfully gauche.

Congratulations, Prof.

Thank you everyone. A couple of days of hearty celebrations have left me totally beat.

It's a 50-50 split of research and clinical time. There will be some teaching but probably not a lot, the focus is research (and bringing in grants and trials for £).
