I came back home to a shattered inner pane of my window.
The internet says metal enclosure/manufacturing fault and I have already contacted my landlady who is sorting a replacement out but I can still hear more cracking happening and I am kind of terrified it will collapse into a heap 😬

Just published! Supervised my student Chelsea's systematic review on foodborne infections in infant feeding.
I hope this helps improve safety protocols for vulnerable infants.
Paper is open access if anyone's interested in the full findings.

I have not written for @theconversation.com for a while but I am back taking a closer look at the evidence and explaining why most children already consume enough protein and why focusing on overall diet quality is far more important for their growth and wellbeing

The vast majority of children will already get more than enough protein as part of their usual diet.

This weekend I am sharing stall C23 at the festival for Quilts with @tripsandflips.bsky.social talking about our interactive feminist community quits projects.
We have loads of fun talking to people from so many different paths of life who share the enthusiasm for textiles.

Just arrived in France and discovered that my Airbnb host does not speak a word of English.
To my surprise, I can understand about 70% of what she is telling me which, honestly, should make my high school french teacher very proud!
