@RuthAhnert @sebastianahnert So tempting and very impressed😁 your family have lovely names! Having a scheduled c-section this time so within the next 9 weeks, it feels both really far and soon! xx

[Claire West @CompBioPixie]

Trying to decide on baby names (argh) but really enjoying looking through the lovely data from 2020 on the ONS site - such nice visualisations! https://t.co/z9dalT8IzB

I had M.E. throughout my adolescence and this fantastic article and thread explains how debilitating “brain fog”/concentration issues are (common in long covid). Audio books were life savers when ill so also great Ed mentions audio version of the article soon too.

🚨I wrote about “brain fog”—one of the most common & disabling symptoms of long COVID (and many other pre-pandemic conditions), and one of the most misunderstood.

Here’s what brain fog actually is, and what it’s like to live with it. 1/

A really clear thread on a really interesting genetics paper, with bits of (depressing) Norwich history, fascinating and worth a read!

[Dr Adam Rutherford @AdamRutherford]

The deaths of 17 medieval Jews: An incredible new genetics paper has just dropped: The earliest Jewish genomes and the story of where they are from and how they died is incredibly important, and central to the origin of contemporary antisemitic conspiracy hatred. 🧵

Want to develop a career in #TrialManagement? Looking to join a successful UKCRC-registered #CTU? Well, we're looking for a junior trial manager, so maybe we should talk... https://t.co/XCw3Sn4kGw #nowhiring

I didn't even know this Measurements consultation was taking place.
(No option for metric only!)
It must be one of the People’s Priorities. 🙄
Don’t let Mogg get away with a return to imperial measurements by default. Tell them no. It closes on the 26th. https://t.co/zy75ihH0mp

@Studio_Flozbox Thanks Tobin! Hope you’re all well and love to you and your lovely family! 💕Xx

[Claire West @CompBioPixie]

Feeling poorly with covid for the first time :( pregnant, had to reschedule a scan, “morning” sickness is back, but Twitter and the ongoing resignations/government mess/drama is cheering me up no end 🍿

[Claire West @CompBioPixie]

@RuthAhnert Thanks Ruth! Not a bundle of laughs but think I’ve been lucky! Hope you’re well and returning to work has been good, so great to read about your exciting projects!

[Claire West @CompBioPixie]

@ProfLauraBow @uea @UeaMed @PlymUniMedicine @PlymUni @PlymUniHealth Big congratulations, great news! Sad for us - it feels like UEA is losing a bit of its heart! But thrilled for you and lucky Plymouth :)

Really enjoyed helping to deliver @NorwichCTU webinars on eConsent and REDcap. I get very nervous public speaking but it’s great to see what others are doing, share info and connect! #ScaredButDoingItAnyway
