I think I will also move on from here. It seems bluesky is the best way forward. Are other people thinking this too?.

When should a child begin collision/contact sports?. The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia recommends that low or no contact versions of sports are played by those under the age of 14. This particularly applies to school sports.
The theme for #IPD2023 is CTE. To increase awareness and understanding about CTE, RCPA has developed a position statement with the Australian Sports Brain Bank and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Sydney. Read the position statement #Pathology #PathTwitter

#physicalactivity I am surprised and disappointed to see this latest number. I applaud the academics and advocates to make positive change. It is a deeply entrenched situation. Time to think about radical changes such as 4 day week, universal basic income, and free PA facilities.

A quick trip to the shop today revealed how many brands use the positive imagery of sports and athletes to encourage particular types of consumption . England football team and Euro 2024 (1/many)

90 seconds isn’t anywhere near enough time to explain the nuances of the men’s sport vs women’s sport “atmosphere” debate but I had a crack anyway and got to twirl my cool @Matildasactive scarf around in the process, check it out.
