We had so much fun filming 'everything you wanted to know about ultrasound, but were afraid to ask' with plenty of fun facts about #ultrasound in the animal kingdom and medicine. @UniLeedsEngage #BeCurious20 and #BeCurious22 youtu.be/Cmgi2QYTDdw

Remember when you get home from #BeCurious22 you can watch our YouTube video version from 2020 @LeedsBRC everything you ever wanted to know about ultrasound!

Important. Please share. The govt is doing a review of access to face-to-face banking. For many elderly and vulnerable people in person banking is crucial and we need to protect it. The review wants your view, you can feed in here... smartsurvey.co.uk/s/accessto…

This is a horror.
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write. This is the article: volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v/2…

How the blood goes round sounds simple. It isn’t. • Pressure does not drive flow. • Preload is not a driver of cardiac output. • Equations and graphs describe a system without explaining what controls it. • Flow is governed by two constraints: delivery and acceptance.

WTAF???!! As his final act, Wes Streeting just signed off ALL OUR PATIENT RECORDS to Palantir WITHOUT our knowledge or consent & then resigned “Your medical notes, prescriptions & DNA will be used however a politician decides; you’ll have no say & no choice” TO PALANTIR!!! 🚩
Wow. Everyone needs to read this. All Labour MPs and party members need to understand this. Especially @jamesmurray_ldn The Lords will stop this, & we will support them. So let’s work together to make it right. medconfidential.org/2026/wes… @BMA_GP

Fujitsu UK pays staff bonuses, ZERO contribution to compensation for victims of the Post Office scandal. Fujitsu helped secure false fraud convictions of postmasters. Public purse paid £1.5bn compensation. No one prosecuted for lying to courts. computerweekly.com/news/3666…

Taken at the Michigan Carbon Works factory in Rougeville, the pile of bison skulls in this photo was slated to be processed and used in making products like bone glue, fertilizer, bone ash, bone char, and bone charcoal. The number of bison skulls is a testament to the prevalence of the animal in the US, as well as why that number fell so significantly. As many as 30-50 million bison existed at the start of the 1800s. By the 1880s, that number was in the thousands and, in 1902, fewer than 100 bison were left. Conservation efforts revitalized the bison population during the 20th century. According to the US Fish & Wildlife Service, bison were no longer under threat of extinction (as of 2016) due to conservation efforts and commercial herds of roughly 500,000 bison.

This is Arctic air that should be in the Arctic But warmer temperatures are adding energy to the polar vortex and pushing cold air further south and bringing warmth to Arctic This is not because global warming does not exist Its because it does
Some of coldest air on Earth As global warming worsens Arctic air heads south and Arctic heats up ‘largest winter storm of the season’ could blanket a stretch from Albuquerque to Dallas to New York and Boston with as much as a foot or more predicted weather.com/storms/winter/ne…

Well Done Colombia 🇨🇴. Colombia has approved the Empathy Law, a new initiative requiring schools to teach animal protection and welfare. Proposed by Senator Andrea Padilla and passed by Congress, the law seeks to instill compassion and respect for animals in children from an early age. All schools, both public and private, will include animal protection topics within existing educational programs such as environmental studies. Once signed by the President, the Ministry of Education will have six months to design the curriculum guidelines. Classes are expected to begin in the second half of 2026. The Empathy Law also promotes hands-on learning to help children understand animal care through direct experience, fostering empathy and social responsibility. This measure reflects Colombia’s growing commitment to animal welfare and environmental consciousness. Source: Padilla, A. (2024). Empathy Law: Integrating Animal Protection into Education.

This is about how the last 4 years of my life has been dominated by banging on about a brick. But it’s really about a nation’s love of a 50 million year old bird on the brink because of us. They say you are what you love. I am made of feathers.

Govt suppressed this horrifying report last year, sneaking it out now while attention elsewhere, no doubt hoping to bury dire implications of likely ecosystem collapse. Ministers must urgently step up, change direction & restore vital life support systems theguardian.com/environment/…
