"To create a healthier world, our view is that policy makers and civil society must do what health professionals do, and that is to prioritise outcomes related to health and wellbeing. That’s a world that we should unequivocally argue for, and work to achieve." Kamran Abbasi #BMJ

Yup. Grey has ceased to exist.
The number of people who are neither treating the promised vaccine as the answer to all our prayers nor denouncing it as a conspiracy seems to be alarmingly small.

By coincidence: exactly 6 years ago today, as Vice President of the USA, Joe Biden sent this note to his staff. I presume in the background, thoughts of his first wife & daughter who died long ago; or his son, who died of cancer just a few months after this note. Worth reading.

Need a knack that mitigates against continual improvement becoming continual reminder of things I should have done.

This is pretty cool from @LidlGB, but I wonder who'll be first to do away with them altogether? It pains me that the first thing I do when I leave my local @Tesco is put my receipt in the bin. thetimes.co.uk/article/small…

In the craziness of the sponsored 24hr #Musicathon, we didn’t manage to get this tweet out. Just 24 hrs before the event kicked off, 2 Coleridge Y8 students led a Samba workshop for Ridgefield Primary students. Well done, Naomi and Lola! (Both completed the Musicathon, too!)

Hi @tesco, @sainsburys, how about helping us out and making loose fruit and veg cheaper than the packaged alternatives?! #WarOnPlastic @itsanitarani
