Leah Moyle With great sadness I am informing the academic community that my friend and colleague Leah Moyle (@Leah_Moyle) recently passed away after a short illness. Leah was a wonderful academic with a bright future and a huge heart. She will be missed enormously by many

Rishi Sunak "gaslighted" a nation with new licences for the North Sea! (I do love a pun 👍🏼 but not its reality in this case) Superb analysis from @C4Ciaran @Channel4News We export 80% of our oil. 4% of gas is Russian. Price set internationally. More gas won't make it cheaper.
Does the UK need more North Sea oil and gas extraction? @C4Ciaran digs deeper into Rishi Sunak’s decision to grant new North Sea oil and gas licences.

Appropriately managed/protected population health data is a good thing. Obviously, done badly it can have unwanted consequences. It's worth noting that if you opted out in 2014 with such concerns your choice remains in force.

I saw a clown in a car on a beach? 😀 For a cool #brain trick, stare at the 3 dots on her nose for 30 seconds. Then look at a light colored wall and blink 3 times! What do you see? #neurology #neuro #neuroscience #visual #Illusion #mindtrick #NeuroTwitter #visualcortex

BBC (and other media) please stop referring to Moeen Ali as Moeen when mentioning all others with their surnames. Ali is Moeen Ali's surname. As an international cricketer that has played for England for years it is insulting to continuously get this wrong. #bbccricket
