We all know the power of mushrooms as psychedelics, but they can have health benefits too.
This is an interesting post on the potential benefits of certain mushrooms on allergies. Well done!

Most people are aware of the main reason Nightingales were a calamity - there were no people to staff them - , but Nightingale hospitals were bizarre for other reasons

Well, bizarre when you assume the govt is acting in the interests of the public’s health…

@Kit_Yates_Maths Really interesting thread @Kit_Yates_Maths! But how many is 'many'? I have never seen this stat. If everyone is being treated, how do we know how many would have turned out to be non-threating to a patient's health?

A metaphor for science. Each lab making tiny steps forward, moves the entire scientific knowledge forward. Beautiful!

@campbellclaret @trussliz With the electricity prices today, at least the fridge will be a little warmer for her.

Also a good time to say that I started as a new Group Leader @iit_ucl Pears building last month! and this month secured funding to work on our ideas for a pan-coronavirus vaccine and to employ my first research tech (advert to come) with @maini_lab @EleanorBarnesOx 👩‍🔬💉

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Rory in your defence of austerity u said the other option was to put up taxes, what is the moral/ethical argument for austerity, which burdens the poor, vs taxes which can be targeted at the rich, + do u regret the damage it has done to our libraries/schools/NHS/communities etc?

[Chris Willberg @CWillberg]

@TheLucyGarner @anzilelo @UniofOxford Sadly academia is a bubble, with little or no opportunity to see what life can be outside of it. I think you'll find you enjoy your new life just as much, if not more, and wonder why you didn't move sooner. Congratulations!

[Chris Willberg @CWillberg]

@nicktolhurst Not much of a divergence since the EU and USA have already done this https://t.co/HRpeeYItqx

[Chris Willberg @CWillberg]

Some excellent presenters here, well worth watching if you can!

🚨 Thurs 1pm 🗣 I am presenting at this half day symposium on SARS-CoV-2 immunology and vaccines organised by proimmune - the panel discussions with @scientist_JJ @Anto_Berto @PKlenermanLab @marcus_buggert will be great 🙌! sign up here: https://t.co/3sex2mhJ01

Vigil tomorrow, 8th March, at 2:30pm for us all to show our grief for the death of Ling Felce on the Plain roundabout. This will take place exactly one week after her death.

[Chris Willberg @CWillberg]

@maosalio @MelanieZeppel @jodieingles27 Good to hear your doing well @maosalio! I totally get the trap of the 'romantic' vision. It kept me from moving for way too long. While there are aspects of academia I miss, I couldn't be happier.

[Chris Willberg @CWillberg]

@TheLucyGarner Oh no! I'm going have to mine again with throat. I hope you get better soon!!

[Chris Willberg @CWillberg]

Congratulations @nprovine, well deserved!!

[Oxford Immunology @OxImmuno]

We are very excited that @nprovine of @PKlenermanLab @OxfordMedSci has been awarded the 2021 Young Investigator Award from @Vaccines_MDPI @MDPIOpenAccess Congratulations!!🥳👏https://t.co/vKBDF7xbCd

Sorry to bang on but I really don't want your kindness to go to waste. Sending food and meds across EU is highly complex even for Experts and nigh on impossible for hugely mixed loads of generous donated items. It is better to donate to @DECappeal so they coordinate the need 1/3

19. Problem Selling:
Problem-solvers take an issue and break it down into small solvable chunks. Problem-sellers (e.g. politicians, the press) do the opposite: bundling many small issues into one big problem that looks insurmountable and terrifying.
