Today's newspapers offer the hope that dark chocolate could reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes. But when things sound too good to be true they might just be an example of "Today’s random medical news". ieureka.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/2024/12/04/d...

And today’s random (and dubious) medical news is: dark chocolate prevents diabetes – IEUREKA!

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research. A Place of Joy.

Do you think a website listing all UK LPS, with tools for studies to maintain their profiles and AI-powered search for a high-quality discovery experience, is a good idea? 🤔 Let us know how we can help you... pruk.ac.uk/consultation

Thanks @lbc.co.uk for having me on to discuss AD. Both Keir Starmer & Wes Streeting know full well how grossly underfunded UK palliative care is - & they have the power to change that. But will they? Or will they turn their backs on dying people? www.lbc.co.uk/news/palliat...
