I spoke to ITV news about why it’s so important to register as an organ donor and tell your family your wishes. My life was saved by a liver transplant in 2009 to cure a rare and potentially fatal condition.

The anti-Muslim stuff at yesterday’s march was vile.
Muslim friends, neighbours and colleagues should not have to watch scenes like that in London and wonder whether their city has a place for them. It should have been called out, loudly, by people on the march.

What a great post for science teachers to use.
Excellent video on whether retinol is a scam — there are only few low quality RCTs, why would one still believe in it? — and it’s so good, talking about various incentives and the role of mechanistic knowledge. I’ll have to think about how to fit this into teaching!>

And it obscures the real scandal - which is the totally inadequate child services support for kids post exclusion, the disaster of CAMHS, and the shocking lack of AP places (and in many places AP quality). Schools have a right to exclude - but excluded kids still have a right to an education.
