Massive thanks to the NHS who are doing a great job with dad now off oxygen (best Christmas present ever) and on Parry ward named after Bath Physician Caleb Parry who wrote about Graves’ disease before Graves did (some countries call it Parry’s disease). Very pleasing for a thyroid geek like myself

We’re new to Bluesky, but not to #endocrinology. Since 1946, we’ve been dedicated to advancing endocrine science and health.

We’re here to connect with researchers, clinicians, nurses and anyone interested in the vital role of #hormones in our lives.

Painting by John Atkinson Grimshaw. Seems appropriate for this time of year and my current mood (writing research grant and let’s face it Man City and Jaguar have not brought me much cheer this week).

Beautiful but haunting

Winter pressures being felt in the NHS. Reminds me of time I took this pic on way home during COVID pressures. “Turn and face the setting sun and then your shadows fall behind you”

Good luck all may your post take ward rounds be light

Sorry to bring misery and despair to this lovely social media network

JAGUAR what on earth have you done!

Your core marker is the loveable rogue. Grace to get away with things, space to carry all the "borrowed" cutlery and oil paintings, and pace to leg it. Your new vibe feels very alien.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

You could never organise a peaceful revolution on Twitter as it currently stands. The algorithm would defeat it.

But BlueSky? That's another story.

It's the perfect place for like-minded people to gather and reinforce each other.

Rejoin, anyone?
