My solo tour has been an enlightening experience! @koelnmusik on 8th March, a UK and Netherlands leg still to come... Meanwhile, I've been getting some earlier licks back under my fingers. This one will be on streaming services soon... 📹 @gazarte
This is fantastically useful from @nedwards for those, like me, who struggle to stay afloat in the swirling maelstrom of health issues...a great service, thank you
I have been looking at the articles and other interesting things I saw in 2018. Some Twitter folk sent me stuff too. Its not complete but I wrote it up as a summary for people here - Some of you might find it interesting nuffieldtrust.org.uk/files/health-p…
A typical hospital record. Can this really be 2018?
I prefer this commemorative 50p coin. RT if you do too.
Here's a frightener from @paul_corrigan: "the top 80% of local authorities in terms of wealth have suffered 3% of all of the reduction in LA spending on people facing disadvantage. The bottom 20% have suffered 97% of all of the reduction." #noendtoausterity
This took my breath away - the science publishing scandal. A must read
My review of Paywall, a film that every academic should watch. I'm constantly surprised by how little smart academics know about the business of publishing science. thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/…

Why has the global campaign to eradicate polio failed (so far)? And can it still succeed? My long read independent.co.uk/news/long_read… … @EndPolioNow @UNICEFpolio @GlobalPolioEI
Yesterday I baked a banana cake - and published a long read (5,000 wds) on why the global campaign to eradicate polio has failed (so far). Which garnered more attention? No prizes.... independent.co.uk/news/long_read… @EndPolioNow @UNICEFpolio @GlobalPolioEI
Will 2018 be the year when #polio is finally eradicated? by @jeremylaurance independent.co.uk/news/long_read… via @Independent @Atul_Gawande #globalhealth
Why has the Global Campaign to Eradicate Polio @GlobalPolioEI @global_polio @EndPolioNow @UNICEFpolio repeatedly failed? And can it still succeed? Some say if it does, it will be mankind's single greatest accomplishment. My long read independent.co.uk/news/long_read…
Paddington to Tott Ct Rd by tube - currently 20 mins Paddington to Tott Ct Rd by Crossrail (from Dec 19) - 4 mins Agree @JohnRentoul - this is going to change the geography of London
Liverpool St to Canary Wharf in 6 mins in going to change the geography of London en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossrail
Thanks Indeed. But I worry for Zimbabwe - 8th in this league. Who's left at home?
Happy Christmas to everyone in the NHS. Human suffering relieved by the united values, effort and kindness of so many colleagues from all around the world. Thanks to all.
Indeed...
"More responses than I can ever remember" - Mike Kenward's generous tribute
A touching recollection by friends and colleagues of the life of Steve Connor, one of the greatest science journalists of his generation. Put together by @mikekenward bit.ly/2C5WDju
He would have loved this. Too sad he was not there to receive it
So pleased that the late Steve Connor has been named @pressgazette’s Science Journalist of the year for year for yet another fantastic scoop. Fantastic journalist to the end.
"For Steve it was the moral power of Science to improve lives, and shape the future, that made it worth explaining." A wonderful obituary of a great journalist by his last Editor.
Steve Connor, for 18 years Science Editor at a The @Independent, has tonight won a posthumous award at the British Journalism Awards. Here’s my tribute to someone who understood the nature and nobility of Science bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…
How Don Berwick faked an interview - brilliant!
