If the BBC article today has you thinking more and more about the mental load and the impact that has, can I highly recommend @dremilychristopher.bsky.social book, Couples at Work, for a deep dive. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As debate continues to rage about the use of generative AI, this is all I need it for. (Back story: it's all kicking off as our #frenchie is torn between his cow buddy and his cat buddy on the farm 😂)

I think it's safe to say that in UK academia we're all lost for words today. But once we've had a moment to process and reflect, let's remember that as a group, us academics are rather good with words. Let's use them to make sure this doesn't happen again. What a terrible loss.

Someone make food prices in the UK make sense for me. I just spent £72 for 4 days of food for 4 people that didn't even include treats, processed foods or meat? Just bog standard basics (and some bog roll!) This is insane.

I am absolutely fed up to the tits with the UK being torn to shreds by political party infighting that has, pardon my language but, SHIT ALL to do with running a country in the best interests of its people. Enough. Just run the country already. #politics #keirstarmer

Well I'm back after a lovely Easter break eating ALL the chocolate. I've been having some really interesting conversations about #Epigenetics these past few weeks and thought I'd share a quick thread about Epigenetics and why they are important for our #health.

With energy bills being so high for nearly five years and energy debt at record levels, many of our clients are struggling. Our Advice team has achieved fantastic results to help households significantly reduce or eliminate their debt.

Just a friendly reminder that #Meningitis B #vaccines weren't part of routine #childhood immunisations until 2015. "Regular" meningitis #vaccine does not cover this strain. If you think you have symptoms, listed 👇, err on the side of caution and speak to your GP. Antibiotics are effective and easy.

Just when I thought I had my reels algorithm trained to recipes and soothing "people icing cakes" videos it throws up Americans prepping for WW3 by burying toilet paper in trenches and potatoes in garbage bins and I just cannot believe that this is how the internet AND the world work these days.
