How did I not know baby spiders are called ‘spiderlings’? Brilliant new word thanks @nicholaraihani.bsky.social
📚 I've recently finished “The Social Instinct” by @nicholaraihani.bsky.social. It was a wonderful and thought provoking book, on how cooperation evolved in nature, and how crucial it is for our survival.
💡 Anyway, here a few of my favourite quotes from the book. What do you think of them?

www.bmj.com/content/388/... - loving this conceptualisation of a ‘meta-question’. Thanks @johnlauner.bsky.social for challenging me to think both about my own consultations, and how we talk about them with learners
John Launer: Taking the temperature of the consultation
