In a fairly insane turn of events, the fantastic documentary that @MLiebreich and the @CleaningUpPod team made about our Neonatal Unit in Bo, Sierra Leone got shadowbanned by YouTube, as it was regarded as political advertising 🤣 Anyway the guys have re-edited it and there is a

The toll on the M50 needs to be doubled if you’re driving in the middle lane when you pass through it 😁.

I have to say, I’ve never had a journal article published on a Sunday night before. The findings are clearly so important, they couldn’t wait until tomorrow morning! This is a nice little report from the team at @PublicHealthDSE looking at the extent to which we keep people off

How on earth has one man, @SecKennedy with the scientific literacy of a squirrel, been allowed to sign the death warrant of infants around the world with no congressional oversight? This makes the world, including America, much less safe. GAVI needed about 9 billion USD this

Lovely day to get the ferry to the UK. I’m a recent convert to this way of travelling. So much nicer than the airport experience and I can bring the car with me 😁

A really sad situation, and a reminder that rabies is endemic in lots of places that people like to go on holidays. Be careful around any mammal in a rabies-endemic country, but especially dogs, monkeys and cats.

Dear #Autism community….any recommendations for a stroller for older kids? My 4yo is a nonverbal great boy with autism and he’s a tank of a child! He’s a bit old for a buggy but one of his favourite things is when his daddy gets off his lardy arse and brings him for a long walk.

American media fascinates me. Their largest ā€œnewsā€ outlet didn’t dedicate a story to the #NoKings protests, but had a story about a baseball player writing a biblical passage on his hat 😁

Don’t underestimate children with autism! My son is staying with me tonight. He wanted crisps, his favourite thing in the world. But each time I opened a particular flavour, he gestured that I’d opened the wrong one. He has no words, so this happens. He sucked me into this ruse

I like these 2 slides from #ESPID2025 today about meningococcal meningitis and invasive meningococcal disease more broadly. When I was working in paeds and we saw meningococcal cases, in a lot of cases parents were angry that they might have gone to the GP very early in the
