Headline: Ultimate limit of human endurance found. Actual findings: There may be a ceiling on energy consumption of ~2.5x BMR. In ultra events, people do a little less the longer the event but still greatly exceed this limit daily for months at a time.

Scientists studied elite events, including a 3,000 mile run and the Tour de France.

Sounds like it's time for some resilience training to be made mandatory during those canteen lunches. And maybe write a PDP and a couple of reflections on how you will improve your time management. Works for doctors apparently.

Reading that the Sultan of Brunei stands by their inhumane new laws I'm embarrassed and offended to discover he has an honorary title from the Royal College of GPs. @rcgp Why is this man a Companion of the College?

RCGP should rescind the honorary title awarded to the Sultan of Brunei

Jeremy Hunt may be an oleaginous bully but remember his relentless pursuit of privatisation and intentional underfunding of the NHS was part of the government's intended agenda, as our new Health Secretary demonstrates.
Some key information on Matt Hancock, the new Secretary of State for Health: He shares same neoliberal philosophy of @iealondon and has been funded by their Chairman, Neil Record, for years. IEA is a free market think tank with clear policy to abolish #NHS & privatise healthcare
