If you’re a constituent & would like a tour in 2026, email ben.goldsborough.mp@parliament.uk

NEW: ByHeart says that a lab found botulism-causing bacteria in its baby formula. 31 babies in 15 states have been hospitalized.
One dad of a baby who was gradually paralyzed by the botulism toxin said his son's cry became a "prolonged, soft moan."

In 1854, Bernhard Riemann introduced a theory about how to study geometric spaces in any dimension. Most mathematicians at the time found his ideas to be too vague to be of much use. They are now a mathematical staple. www.quantamagazine.org/what-is-a-ma...
