You only need to care for one child who dies or survives with life changing injuries from secondary sepsis after chicken pox to be absolutely overjoyed at this news. It’s a vaccine I’ve recommended for friends & family since it became available but has been expensive until now 🥲
Somebody posted this insane Spotify playlist of every track on: Now 1 - 114 (1983 - 2023) Now That's What I Call Music 1 - 114 https://t.co/r6tTpI90RU
And it’s like a lifetime of cultural archaeology. I might listen to all 228 hours of it.
Currently reliving my university years.
Today's #TwoChildLimit statistics from @DWPgovuk show 52% of all families affected are headed by single parents. Affected families can be left £3000 poorer by this unfair limit, & abolishing it would lift 250,000 children out of poverty!
This male sumatran orangutan is Raku: he got a wound on his right cheek. Scientists were surprised to spot him applying a medicinal plant on his face: akar kuning (Fibranaurea tinctoria), a type of climbing vine that acts as an analgesic.
After about 8 days he applied the chewed stems and leaves of the plant, the wound began to heal and in approximately a month he completely recovered.
This series of observations undoubtedly constitutes the conclusive proof of the level of ingenuity that these majestic animals have.
Congratulations to our Chief Director of Nursing & Midwifery @PGallagherIEHG who represented IEHG on a joint research paper recently published in the Journal of Nursing Management on Senior Nurse Manager Perceptions of Nurse Practitioner integration. 👏👏

Absolutely insane that Lord Lovat exercised his right as Chief of Clan Fraser to have a personal piper accompany him in the vanguard of the D-Day landings on Sword Beach (pipers were by then no longer allowed at the frontline in the British Army)
