When the new hospital was built on Whitechapel Road in the 1750s, it neighboured a place variously known as a dunghill, a rampart, & a plague burial ground - find out more open.substack.com/pub/theunder...

Several of our researchers have been grappling with the issue of fraudulent responses in online research.
Quite a lot of chat about it in health research already: ebm.bmj.com/content/30/3...
I have to say I am now a wee bit more skeptical of research where recruitment and data generation is purely conducted online, which is sad.

I was lucky enough to get a good queue position when #TheSeagull went on sale last year… obviously Cate Blanchett was a big part of the draw but man did they stack that cast. Phenomenal performances all round, and I really enjoyed the staging.
