Two lovely obituaries for Tim Radford - Tim really was the most fabulous science writer, but also the sweetest, kindest and most generous man. He helped so many people starting out in science journalism (including me). RIP Tim.
Two Tim Radford obituaries, one published by his former employer, the other from @RogerHighfield @absw. RIP Tim.

The brilliant @NewsCamerawoman told me about meeting Elliot - she’s been following his story for the last five years - do read her article and watch her film.
bbc.co.uk
Elliot wants to live independently - but making that happen proved a bigger challenge than he expected.
Here it is. I met Elliot on a plane 5 years ago. I didn't imagine the roller coaster that his journey would be. Elliot you truly are an inspirational lad and your voice speaks for so many other young disabled adults.
