This graph took me 3 years to make. It's perhaps the largest-ever #metaanalysis of #TMS #BrainStim data. It includes my first real scientific discovery 🧵: When you stimulate the hand with a brief electric pulse, your brain and spinal cord are momentarily less excitable: muscle output decreases 1/n

The naysayers keep talking London down, but we’ll stick to the facts. Met data shows neighbourhood crime is down 14%, with 35,000 fewer offences and 13,000 fewer phone thefts in the last year alone. The evidence is clear: London is safe for all to enjoy this summer.

Khan: "[London is] one of the safest.. cities in the world when it comes to homicide. We're safer than Paris, Milan, Rome, Brussels, Berlin.. two and half times safer than NY, 5 times safer than LA, 12 times safer than Chicago.. those that spread lies have a problem with London"

IDF: “We mistakenly bombed the hospital which mistakenly killed journalists & staff then mistakenly sent in a second, precision strike which mistakenly killed the paramedics & rescue workers.” Sanction Israel, boycott Israeli goods, expel its diplomats, seize its assets. OR you support all this.

When one corrupt, authoritarian war criminal nominates another corrupt, authoritarian war criminal for the Nobel Peace Prize is now the new standard dictionary definition for chutzpah.

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”
