Re: A situation occurred
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?"

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

Re: A situation occurred
Congrats @Explosive Newt! 
Does this mean you'll still do research or now you're very much in a teaching / support role?

Re: A situation occurred
That's amazing! Well done!
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

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

Want says he won’t come up with puns, but I think aeorta.
Re: A situation occurred
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

I’d suggest a professor needs to drive an Aston Martin…

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

Re: A situation occurred
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 £).
