Headline aside (which should be medical students, not doctors…) but key message is sensible. Appropriate people should be teaching medical students appropriate things. Often, although not always, this will be doctors. Just let me teach the ethics please.
I love science. I owe my medical career to an inspiring science teacher who made the Krebs cycle sparkle and mitochondria memorable. At medical school I was lucky enough to learn from amazing scientists who turned complicated theories into fascinating stories. My PhD years

2 jobs, 2 person specs. One at Assistant Professor level, one more senior at Associate Professor level. One pays £58-67.5k, the other £68-95.5k. You can guess which is which, naturally.

Last week I listened proudly as students recited the Declaration of Geneva. The disconnect between *that*, and what I see from some doctors (often only a few years into their career) on X is remarkable.

Respect for autonomy 🤯
What’s a widely held medical belief that’s actually a myth?

Ordered a nice cheap floor mat for our garage off AliExpress. On reflection, a mistake.
