Well done and thank you to all those hardworking people in these occupations listed below... I must add the emergency services (esp. firefighters) for their recent efforts too!

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

So society’s *real* key workers have just been revealed.

Not the bankers. Not the traders. Not the elite hedge fund managers.

It’s the nurses. The doctors. The delivery drivers. The carers. The porters. The teachers. The shelf stackers. The check out staff.

For those having difficulty coping at the moment...

[Australian Psychological Society @AustPsych]

As the number of coronavirus cases rises, the level of anxiety within the community is increasing. This guide outlines useful strategies to help both adults and children cope with stress or anxiety experienced as a result of the coronavirus outbreak https://t.co/59r9iZt3HZ

“Loneliness should be seen as an immediate problem” https://t.co/PmZodjVdaH

[Isabella Ingram @Isabella_Ingram]

Certainly seems important to keep in mind for clinical practice...

[The Conversation @ConversationUK]

Happiness is a human construct, an abstract idea with no biological basis. But this is something to be happy about.

I can vouch for the amazing company pets offer (namely my mischievous Labradoodle, Bowie), and also the opportunities they afford in terms of meeting other like minded people!

[Campaign to End Loneliness @EndLonelinessUK]

"Pets can be a fantastic support for people who are experiencing #loneliness.

Why? The single most important thing about them is that they are amazing social connectors."

Anon question

“As a 1st yr rotating in labs, should I raise concerns re: unethical animal treatment? Eg, surgery on rats w/o analgesia, IACUC docs filled as if the animals received analgesia. Seems widespread in department but I'm scared to cause ruckus before I find a lab.”
