I’m sad to hear the news that the wonderful Jane Goodall is no longer in the world. Her work with chimpanzees at Gombe in Tanzania taught us to look at other apes - and ourselves - differently. I was privileged to meet her later in life and tell her what an inspiration she was to me.

We've seen a very concerning rise in traumatic brain injuries in children using e-scooters in Ireland since May 2024. Glad to have this letter in today's @irishtimes.com #escooter #tbi #braininjury #rehabilitation

Part of what makes art worth consuming is that a human being thought it was worth creating through their own effort, rather than yoinking it from the efforts of others. If a computer made it, who cares?

"There is no recession of the imagination": finding point 7 of the Arts Emergency Manifesto particularly inspiring today. Also point 11: "Optimism is a weapon and if all else fails be silly".

“Immunizations work, they are very effective and safe, and they save lives. Vaccines are among the most rigorously studied and effective tools in public health.”
Kudos to AAFP, AAP, ACOG, ACP, IDSA for this.

For all the complaining about the State of public services, and the planet, there seems to be a disconnect with voters realising they can vote for something other than the same old. Anticipating 5 more years of unaddressed crises in health and housing, and perhaps now sadly no Greens. #GE2024

We need to remember that children's specialist rehabilitation services for ABI are a long way behind those for adults in Ireland. Equity needed!

There is something completely perverse about writing to a State agency to flag queries about support for a child with special educational needs, only to have that letter returned because "we don't have parental consent to have your letter on file." There absolutely must be a better way. #copout
