Fascinated by Robert Jenrick's wife Michal Berkner, who doesn't seem to dress so much as upholster.

NEW: China zoo forced to admit the truth after one of their “pandas” started panting and barking.
The Shanwei zoo admits they painted dogs white and black to make them look like pandas.
The zoo initially tried claiming that the dogs were a unique breed of pandas called “panda dogs.”
It was later discovered that the “pandas” were Chow Chows who were dyed with white and black paint.
Community note
This post is misleading. The zoo intended this as a fun gimmick, not a deception.
"The idea to dye them as pandas came from the internet, aiming to boost the zoo's appeal and increase visitor numbers. We've made it clear beforehand that they're not real pandas ..."

You probably know the start of this Olympic story, but do you know how it finished?
This photo is of Eric Moussambani, aka 'Eric the Eel' from Equatorial Guinea, competing in the 100m Freestyle event at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, alone.
Why?

Finally. We figured out the dense deposits in dense deposit disease (DDD).
The answer is Apolipoprotein E.
You can stain for APOE & make the diagnosis of DDD in >80% cases. Without electron 🔬.
DDD was the reason I got into mass spectrometry 17 yrs ago. doi.org/10.1016/j.kint.2024.…

Thrilled to celebrate my alma mater @EinsteinMed & @MontefioreNYC for becoming the second (?) medical school in the U.S. to offer tuition-free education! This incredible milestone was made possible by Dr. Ruth Gottesman's generous $1 billion gift. What an extraordinary achievement!
26 Feb 2024
We are profoundly grateful that Dr. Ruth Gottesman, Professor Emerita of Pediatrics at @EinsteinMed, has made a transformational gift to #MontefioreEinstein—the largest to any medical school in the country—that ensures no student has to pay tuition again. bit.ly/3wvBj7y

A beautiful encapsulation of two completely different schools of rhetoric. And two very different ages of American politics separated by only a couple of years. @RestIsPolitics

Tomorrow, a crucial piece of legislation around healthcare will be scrutinised by MPs.
It will happen in a committee room, away from the main chambers, on a whisper.
If it passes, it will worsen the health of the UK population.
Did you know about it? No?

Just a few minutes into my Urology Ward shift and handed this by Sister. Immediately diagnosed an overactive bladder and recommended anti-cholinergics. I could see from the expression on her face she was impressed! Not lost the old touch!!Curiously not had any other calls 🤔

I’m deeply saddened by the devastation in Türkiye and Syria. @Novartis has committed to an initial donation of $1 million to support humanitarian efforts related to the disaster, and we’ll continue working to support our associates and relief efforts in the weeks to come.
