Here’s a video of Eysenck in 1994 in Edinburgh presenting his nonsense. Tony Pelosi hammers him in the discussion and I told him his “findings” reached the very high bar of being literally impossible youtu.be/K9pyS7EGCV8?...

Just heard of the death last month of Joe Byrd of the extraordinary United States of America; this song from 1968 seems timeless www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx0U...

David Blunkett on Radio 4 Today programme saying "if you don't know what bread and dripping is, you don't know about what poverty is" takes me back ~60 years to what was my favourite food (had to be white bread ..), and to remember tripe and onions, heart, offal in general, and other delights

🚨 Rachel Reeves JUST unveiled “the most complex government budget in history.” But without a proper wealth tax we’ll never fix the NHS or fund schools properly. So we HACKED a billboard in her constituency with the real solution: TAX THE F*CKING RICH

ALSPAC is known locally as Children of the Nineties, now tagging them @childrenofthe90s.bsky.social

The UKB 1/2 million (of which I am one) are indeed reasonably investigated, but in comparison to the ALSPAC cohort - who were recruited as foetuses and followed up into middle age - what I've had done in UKB is tiny. ALSPAC has 3 generations too. We need both study types! www.bristol.ac.uk/alspac/

It’s an extremely broad category Paul, running from very early middle age (you) to extremely extremely if not impossibly late middle age (me)

It’s been amazing colleagues like you Gemma that has made working as a researcher seem both fun and (sometimes at least) worthwhile

“A better NHS is possible”; Starmer’s Labour Party has sadly forgotten this. A better Labour Party is also possible!

'Chaotic' and 'incoherent' - accusing unions of being cartels, looking to AI as the answer to all ills, and a 10 Year Plan that is at best a wish list.
