Thank you @professor-dave.bsky.social for my copy of your new book. It’s full of delicious looking recipes but also a great guide to child-friendly tourist spots in Yorkshire. And, of course, a tender account of love and family life.

Did you hear about these 20 government actions? No? That’s the problem. The media aren’t telling you what’s happening. @stephenmcnair.bsky.social reports

Government is busy: but the media are not telling you
Despite what the press tells us, the government is very busy, often doing popular things. But you wouldn’t know it from the press coverage

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it We cannot allow them to rewrite history. If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely youtu.be/MUrf7addcTA?...

NO Nigel Farage - the vaccine rollout was not helped by Brexit

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users? Please share far & wide! Interest form: forms.office.com/e/66FhcQjqRT More info: www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/new...
Two photos of Anna, a young white woman using an electric wheelchair, wearing a blue lab coat that fits her well with tables and dry-lab equipment in the background. Text reads: "A team of researchers and designers led by UCL is looking for wheelchair users working in wet lab environments to user-test what is believed to be the first-ever prototype of a lab coat adapted for wheelchair users."
