During Dr. Lina's recent health check of Mpungwe group in Kahuzi-Biega NP, DRC, she also encounted lone silverback, Nabanga (pics). She spent some time observing him as well. Both Nabanga and Mpungwe group, all #criticallyendangered Grauer's gorillas were in good visual health.

Help! I inexplicably need to come off my Accuchek Combo pump at short notice, & decide quickly between Medtronic or Ypsomed pumps, or Omnipod Dash. Or pens, which I haven't used for 15 years. Any advice on the best systems, with or without cgm etc please? 😭 Diabetic Dad

Picked up this French map of Africa at a flea market, amazed to find it in great condition despite being 1935-1939, judging from the names...something to keep me going until my viva...

Dad's just shared this he saw in a local newsletter. This lady is my mum, but she can't remember the event. Having to stop choir was so hard for her, but music's still part of her soul xxx

We welcome the Government's plans to end badger culling in England by 2029, shifting to vaccinations to tackle Bovine TB 🦡 230,000 badgers have been culled in the past decade, so we hope this new science-led approach leads to better protection for both cattle and badgers alike.

With the help of AI, scientists have decoded orangutan long calls. 🦧 🔍 This research shows how much we still have to learn about our wild cousins and how crucial it is that we continue to protect, connect and rewild their rainforest homes. 🌿🧡 #ScienceSaturday

Look at this little lovely. My viva was postponed at the last minute, to tomorrow (fingers crossed)...watching baby gorillas how they should be, surrounded by family and forest, is soothing after reading/writing about the extraordinary cruelty they faced in colonial Africa. 🦍💚
