What if I told you that the "successful" psychopath in your office isn't actually motivated by money, fame, or success? I just read a fascinating 2021 paper that completely reframes why psychopaths rise to leadership. The truth is much darker. Here is the psychology of the

For Christmas I want a dragon. Be realistic. OK. I want my paper to be accepted without revisions. What colour do you want your dragon.

Reform is tipped to win next week in Caerphilly, a bellwether election because Reform is coming for Wales first, then the UK. Yet close to zero scrutiny of the candidate, Llyr Powell’s relationship with his former boss & friend, Nathan Gill. Why? Please read on & share 1/

Reform runs Kent County Council and here is its team having a meeting. They must never be asked to run anything, let alone the country. This is Reform in office. Vote for anyone and any party that can block them.

Just in case any one is wondering: Biomedical scientists spend an average of 12 years in training before reaching an independent position. That is more than most medical residences.
