Just read a poem on #hiddenbeauty #BellezzaNascosta from the book 'An hour a day we should be happy' by laboratoriozanzara.it
Thought I'd share it.
In these troubled days, how many of us try to hide their beauty? #LiveLoveLondon

Comedy prescribed as medicine? metro.co.uk/2025/02/20/p... . It's about time! Patch Adams www.patchadams.org/patch-adams/ started talking about this in the 70s. #BetterLateThanNever ! The Gesundheit Institute project is very much alive, check them out! www.patchadams.org #HealingLaughter #PatchAdams

People on antidepressants could be given 'comedy on prescription' instead

The health benefits of comedy are no joke.

Playing with adding oats to our year 3 #sourdough, whilst trying to get a partial scholarship to attend the @ismrm.bsky.social #ismrm2025 meeting... and trying not to get too distracted by US politics... hope I can get there! Still listening to @nytimes.com The Daily rb.gy/pudv6g... now with video

Why #TheTraitors from #theBBC attracts so much audience? I admit it was entertaining watching the final with my youngsters. HOWEVER, no good feelings remain. Just the realisation that EVERYBODY LIES? Am shortsighted. Why is this useful in our complicated world? #DontlikeTheTraitorsSeries #Traitors

There is no gene for green eyes! Ie eye colour is NOT deterministic! shows how little genetics I know - however it's still taught wrongly to 15-16 UK students. Fascinating listening to @adamrutherford.bsky.social in conversation with @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social on www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #

Looking for Water Fountains at #Heathrow Airport Terminal 5? You are in luck! There is one! Head towards Gate A18 & Club Aspire - I know, VERY far away from security. And a bit frustrating that there aren't more. But hey! One is better than nothing! #LiveLoveLondon #LondonWaterIsGreat

What a brilliant weekend of networking and learning! 🤝

In early November we hosted 70 early career researchers at the NIHR GOSH BRC Academic Training Weekend for two days of talks and workshops on navigating the research journey.

Read our reflections on the weekend: www.gosh.nhs.uk/news/gosh-ce...

Group photo of everyone who attended the weekend smiling to camera.

Attendees sit in the audience smiling and laughing as they listen to a talk.

A speaker delivers one of the breakout sessions.

The #xmas concert by www.instagram.com/thehexcommun... at St Benet's church in Kentish Town yesterday night was very beautiful btw, I wished it lasted longer #LiveLoveLondon #smartphonefree #smartphonefreechildhood

Enrico De Vita @edvjump.bsky.social · Dec 9

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so #Shakespeare #Hamlet
Unsettling having to view a concert program on my phone. Is paper so bad? Going old-style on paper would encourage concert-goers to be #smartphonefree for a bit and experience the music more fully #papernotalwaysbad

Another #sourdough loaf beautifully coloured for a grayish Autumn #London morning. Restraining myself from making my daughter's chocolate chip cookies disappear before everybody's up. Looking forward to #tennis later this morning on plane-tree leaves covered courts. #LiveLoveLondon #BakingForFun

The parents' revolution has begun in the UK. Parents are rising up to take collective action for a smartphone free childhood. It will happen in many other countries by the end of this year:

Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?
