@DanOlner I only skimmed the paper but these all looked like association studies. I couldn't see anything in the analysis/discussion that addressed the possibility that the brain function differences might be causing the internet/gaming addiction?

@guardianworld That women vs men area chart is really hard to interpret. Took a while to realise the boxes were different widths.

@ProfEmilyOster What's your opinion on the recent BMJ study on epidurals and childbirth complications?

Most of the media coverage focuses on the 35% figure - but the trend seems to reverse for full term births?

@PippaCrerar Presumably he means the number of households in the UK.

4. Unnecessary precautions result in less suitable sportswear fabrics (try running a marathon in cotton).

"An easy way to avoid exposure to these chemicals is to wear clothing made of ... natural textiles, which don’t contain the toxins associated with plastic ..." (article)

3. There is no other evidence that other chemicals are absorbed through the skin

"There are no data on dermal exposure to microplastics or assessment of the risk arising from such exposure. This study reports the bioaccessibility of brominated flame retardants ..." (research)

@sophtalkssci I'm currently doing an MSc in scicomm part-time, whilst working in scicomm (sciviz specifically).

[Claudia Stocker @claudia_stocker]

@seibbotson @BBCR1 I would have added:

Hela - Thor: Ragnarok
Miranda Priestly - Devil Wears Prada
Bellatrix Lestrange - Harry Potter
Jadis - Chronicles of Narnia
Lily Reynolds - Thoroughbreds

Wanted to add Kathryn Merteuil (Cruel Intentions) but the film was 1999.

@guardian The government DO offer student loans for masters degrees. It's not means-tested like undergraduate but it is there. Currently the piece makes it seems like there's nothing available.

@JordanCollver Congratulations!

@EstherKeziaT Looming MSc written exam on Thursday. Nothing like the fear of finals for motivation...

[Claudia Stocker @claudia_stocker]

@EstherKeziaT I'm in the same boat! Have to move out of my flat on the 15th to move to london where we've signed a contract for a different flat.

@virginmedia I'm moving house and you don't cover my new place. Do I still have to call to let you know or is there an online form?

@BBCNews "The 6.5-hour pacer said she experienced this, too," she said.

Can I point out that 6.5 hours is 'good for age' for women 80+ by VLM's own standards.
