We've always believed the NHS and social care cannot function in isolation. We need joined-up thinking, a healthcare system that works together as a whole. It’s encouraging to see this connection recognised, but real change lies in action. We’ll keep a close eye on the details.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com
As we join the great theoretical scientist, he is deep in thought. So still, quiet and focused that he might almost be asleep. But inside that brilliant mind, what new idea is forming? What certainty is being meticulously interrogated? What ingenious theory is ready to change our world forever? (the scientist snores lightly) Ah, it seems he actually is asleep. And that's fine. Science is hard and not every day can be a success. We will come back another time.

James Bond (1962) and Monty Python (1969) made their respective big/small screen debuts on this day in history.
The album cover for "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", but instead of The Beatles and their idols, it's all the official Bonds and every major villain plus some key henchmen/henchwomen. If I've missed anyone you think should be included, feel free to make your own compilation.The "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album cover, except there are no Beatles, just a wide selection of the various characters, incarnations, props and animations from the Monty Python team's output, covering the period 1969-1983.
