Catherine Chisholm born on this day 1878.

Have my own luxurious bed now but #duvetknowitschristmas in my childhood is seared in me. Visiting my aunt in Abbey Hey Manchester(the ‘smart part of Gorton’!!) I elected to sleep on the floor rather than share a bed with aunt, mother and sister and woke up with my nose against one of these!

I’ve at long last signed up after being sluggish!

@Parsonagetrust in Didsbury never disappoints

Harry Carpenter, five, was diagnosed with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva this year. His parents grieve for the life he could have led

Malte is such a great teacher and explains bang up to date concepts in such an understandable way

An honour to still be asked!! Excellent group of students with ambitions to push our subject forwards.

"Ours may be a pernicious history, but the trajectory of genetics has been one that tends towards progress and equity" Excellent explainer from @adamrutherford.bsky.social on why racial groupings have no sound biological basis. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Just lovely.

youtu.be/p3ly8cyWvkw?... As Trump names himself chairman of the Kennedy Centre this seems appropriate…

Latest blogpost on Musk/Royal Society debacle: deevybee.blogspot.com/2025/02/seve... I look at the reasons that have been given for inaction, and find them wanting. @royalsociety.org

Deeply affecting piece by ⁦‪@SeemaJilani‬⁩ about a moment in time between one patient and one paediatrician multiplied so many times,of course, in all this world’s war zones

yup, that’s the distinguished scientist Elon Musk FRS @royalsociety.org

“Oxford professor Dorothy Bishop [ @deevybee.bsky.social ] has said it could be ‘very embarrassing’ for the Royal Society to have billionaire businessman Elon Musk as a fellow if he were to ‘take the axe’ to science departments in the US as part of the Trump administration” @francesjones.bsky.social

Reunion - but it could be France! Good to be back in EU🇪🇺

Everyone is reposting this, and rightly so- it's courageous and principled. While you're there, have a look at the earlier excellent post about Tim Hunt, who was at the time being defended by supposed champions of women's rights. Reminded me of the wonderful #DistractinglySexy campaign on Twitter.

“One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election” @aoc.bsky.social

If passed Lord Woodley’s Bill will end one of the most shocking & monumental injustices of the past half century - the #IPPscandal & head off the medium-term prison capacity crisis at the same time. Let’s not wait for the next ITV drama to do what’s right youtu.be/nkBs2D0Wz_g?...

Reposting this as there are now 135 amazing scientists on this list, so make sure you follow some of the recent additions (and let me know if you’d like to be added yourself)!

Hah. If only. Inner London Education Authority free place, grew up in a council flat, single parent family baby as Rory’s marvellous book recounts: septemberpublishing.org/product/rusk... (Moi, biased?)

Great to see further roll out of the PALOH study shows the benefits of genetic testing in realtime mft.nhs.uk/2024/11/21/g...

Why did Clarkson buy a farm? Jeremy wrote in The Times, "Land is a better investment than any bank can offer. The Government doesn't get any of my money when I die. And the price of the food that I grow can only go up." www.womanandhome.com/life/news-en...

Welcome @ahoischen.bsky.social I was a few days ahead. Let’s get our community over on 🦋🦋🦋

This is still the classic article about what government should provide (rather than private sector) - certainly applies to care of vulnerable children: scholar.harvard.edu/files/shleif...

I really appreciate @bbcstever.bsky.social posts. He captures the moment in words and music. Understated and powerful. Thank you !

Am trying out bsky.social
