For those who drink soya milk because they are worried about the impact of the dairy industry on the environment…

It is not a simple argument.

This is Brazilian soya, grown where forests once grew, to make our compostable cups and non-dairy milk.

Just for perspective.😕

It’s positioning awareness month on the neonatal unit! Educating parents and staff on why positioning is so important for babies development!

Dandelions were the number one food plant for wild bees on the island of Ireland in 2022

A theory of scientific change isn’t an obvious subject for an American bestseller.

But ‘The Structure of Scientific Revolutions’ sold 1.7 million copies.

Kuhn was unprepared for popular success - and he didn't much like it, as Steven Shapin explains:

We're asking all our partners and supporters to think twice about using herbicides. These potent chemical cocktails can harm pollinators & remove vital sources of food.

It’s been one of the hardest stories to produce. I’m beyond gutted that Paul O’Grady has passed away. He was my biggest inspiration both as himself & Lily Savage. Seeing him in the Palladium panto as the evil queen is something I’ll never forget. He will never be forgotten

The myths attached to this species are so pernicious.
