Well, now, look what arrived in the post...

Delighted to share that my new book on psychology and the culture wars has now been published.

Writing it was a long, at times depressing, but ultimately satisfying journey for me. I hope you like it

When science and medicine work together to improve people's lives the results are so impressive 🤩! This is a deep-brain stimulation surgery to implant electrodes in specific areas of the brain that control movement, in this case, allowing a #Parkinson's patient to keep playing 🎼

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Delighted to be invited back to where my psychology journey began nearly 30 years ago at Stirling University to present my work & new book to the Health Psychology Group. Thanks for the invite Dr Arran Reader.

Ps. Stunning campus, especially in autumn, but parking remains a bit of a nightmare.

‘The NHS is dying before our eyes’

I talk to the head of the BMA in Scotland. He tells me patients “are dying” unnecessarily because of delays; doctors feel no “pride” any more in the NHS & there’s a “toxic culture” of cover-up

So, for Scottish viewers of a certain vintage, very sad news: Glen Michael has passed away. He was 99. He began Glen Michael's Cartoon Cavalcade on STV in 1966, for a handsome £14 a week #RIP
