If covid was knackering our immune systems, what would that look like? Could it include an unusual number of mutations happening outside flu season due to chronic infection?

He's been like this for over 4 hours. This is actually a live video.

We're all going to starve to death, USA has gone fascist, and worst of all, the Labour right want Wes Streeting in No 10, but here are some beautiful Icelandic poppies.

For God's sake, this is getting ridiculous. I think there's a gap in the market for the savoury IPA. Notes of mushy peas and ham, with a delicate suggestion of Frazzels. Best served at 70 degrees.

Your website's not hugely useable:

Dad, 1967.

This is my Dad, pictured here in Wales in June. We didn't know it at the time but he'd brought a glioma with him, which was daft because now he's dead.

Visit Wales, retry Sibelius' 7th, get a job done. Break out the good tea.

Edinburgh is an incredible city. It's like living in an M.C. Escher picture. You can believe you're on the ground, then suddenly discover you're several floors up.

There's actually not a great deal of evidence behind the ionised calcium reference range in 150 to 160 year olds. Literature is sparse.

Would you like age-related reference ranges on your blood gas analyser? Certainly Sir, here are your preset age categories:

0 -1 month
1 -5 months
5 -8 months
8 months - 150 years
then up in decades to 210

What could possibly go wrong? It's as if someone's looked at all the IQC, EQA, competency regulation and governance structures and thought, "Yeah, you can have that for free on the NHS... OR you could pay extra for instant access to this completely unregulated version!"

This woman bloody loves having stomach discomfort and indigestion. I think she wants to diagnose H. Pylori so she can share the joy.

Confidential and rapid result in 10 minutes (that may or may not be true or clinically relevant or interpretable).

Wikipedia entry of the day. I like the fact they've provided a reference to back up their assertion.

Just thought I'd share this with you. It's called The Self-Aware Goose.

These are a variety called Little Ben, which is a bit of a misnomer really because they're by far the biggest snowdrops I've ever seen. Highly recommend.

Portobello beach. Unfortunately I have a crap camera and a rubbish sense of composition but there you go, a boat and a rainbow.

@carolvorderman.bsky.social I'm now a scientist because of you! You owe me for the rock star career I definitely would have had if I hadn't been Taking Nobody's Word For It.

And look at that technique! You're not even looking! Do you even know what volume you're adding?
