Dr. Jane Goodall died #OTD in 2025. She was a primatologist, anthropologist & conservationist regarded as the world’s foremost expert on wild chimpanzees. Her field research revolutionized our understanding of primates & redefined what it means to be human. janegoodall.org #WomenInSTEM
A feel-good photograph of world-renowned primatologist and anthropologist Dr. Jane Goodall (1934-2025), famous for her groundbreaking, decades-long study of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park. In this intimate shot, Dr. Goodall is positioned on the right, her profile turned left toward a young chimpanzee resting its hand affectionately on her shoulder. Her gray hair is tied back in a signature low ponytail, and she wears a white button-up shirt with thin red and blue vertical stripes. Her eyes are closed, and her mouth is puckered as she mimics a vocalization, creating a profound, empathetic connection with the chimpanzee, who tilts its head back with its mouth wide open in a matching vocal expression. The background is a soft, blurred palette of green and tan nature tones, keeping the focus entirely on their interaction. The composition exudes a tender, joyful, and harmonious mood, highlighting the historical significance of her revolutionary approach to treating animals as individuals with minds, emotions, and distinct personalities.

If you’re Clinically Vulnerable, do you know your risk of sepsis and would you recognise the signs? Today is #WorldSepsisDay 💔We remember Liz Hipkiss, a beloved CVF member who lost her life to sepsis, Dec 21. We need CV people and their families to know when to seek help. 1/
WORLD SEPSIS DAY INFOGRAPHICS

What Is Sepsis?

Sepsis arises when the body's response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs. It may lead to shock, multi-organ failure, and death - especially if not recognized early and treated promptly.

Awareness saves lives.

England is embarking on a Big Conversation about the future of its social care system. Its starting point is as an outlier in how it applies a financial means test to state-supported care. Read how England compares with 11 other countries and regions: buff.ly/z9hYeWN
Graphic featuring an icon of a pound symbol inside a circle crossed by a diagonal green line, alongside a tick and cross symbol. Headline reads: “England is one of few systems where access to any public funding for care is restricted by how much money people have”. Supporting text states: “All the countries and regions we studied require people to go through an assessment of their needs to access public funding. But England is unique in also requiring a financial means test for any state-funded support.”
