Sky News discussion on Trump’s trade war with Huawei
@jameswoudhuysen I use my bicycle every day. Exercise and access to shopping without any parking meters and all that fuzz. But alfa-cyclists are the worst. They are competing at 40 mph and always acting rudely to get where they are going.
A PRO-CAR CYCLIST WRITES: 12-1pm tomorrow on #R4, will be talking bikes, cars, pedestrians, public transport – and #JeremyVine
Stimulating piece on the #CrisisOfCustomerService by clever @ClaerB @FT.

Rosalyn Sussman Yallow – development of radioimmunoassay (RIA), a method of quantifying minute amounts of biological substances in the body
