A shame the *checks notes* regulator can't do something to sustain useful innovation where it matters. We're decades behind comparable sectors for no good reason. *sighs in vet student*
Vet Times headline: RCVS announces EMS placement database axe - The project is being halted because most vet schools could not commit themselves to it despite support from students and providers.

Reading the @supremecourt.uk ruling (primary sources and all that). Extraordinary claim that biological sex is “assumed to be self explanatory and require no further explanation“. A mind-numbingly ascientific statement, up there with Indiana attempting to rule that pi = 3.2.
Excerpt from UK Supreme Court ruling, available at https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2024-0042 “171. The definition of sex in the EA 2010 makes clear that the concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man. Persons who share that protected characteristic for the purposes of the group-based rights and protections are persons of the same sex and provisions that refer to protection for women necessarily exclude men. Although the word "biological" does not appear in this definition, the ordinary meaning of those plain and unambiguous words corresponds with the biological characteristics that make an ndividual a man or a woman. These are assumed to be self-explanatory and to require no further explanation. Men and women are on the face of the definition only differentiated as a grouping by the biology they share with their group.”

#ThePetPsychic on Channel 5 solves the problem of the non-laying hen. She's anxious after a fox attack. I'm claiming this as an hours veterinary CPD. Marvellous! 😂
