So many problems with current system of academic publishing...

Dreadful messaging. We need to understand the causes and respond appropriately Practical steps: No awards for 100% attendance No sanctions for attendance without mediation Funding SEN workers in schools from central govt Creativity not grammar at the heart of the curriculum

When we support our sober friends we normalise not drinking. Sober shaming puts up a barrier for people considering making a change to their drinking. Supporting your sober friends who want to make a change show's that you care! #StopSoberShaming

The ever impressive Dr Anna Head With a really interesting and important study. We must continue to change our medical model to focus more on whole person and population, not individual disease.

In honour of the Gladiators final, here’s my son doing all the moves during the opening titles. For me, the plaster on his head, his sudden decision to get a unicorn to help him and his impression of Viper really add to it. #GladiatorsFinal

Zero surprises here. ft.com/content/ef582f…

Wish I knew the answer to this. "we are preparing them for the world of work" Overwhelming minority of work in 2024 requires restrictive shirts, ties and blazers. I'm all for uniform, it is a great leveller. But a uniform that is comfortable cannot be that hard to design!

Someone from Piers Morgan's staff asked if I would like to come onto Pier's show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, to talk about the state of his attire. Since he invited feedback, I thought I'd do a thread comparing his style to menswear icon Kermit the Frog. 🧵

It's not that these Tories are awful. (They are. They are staggeringly incompetent, dishonest and corrupt. Many of them have knowingly led the country toward poverty and isolation for their own short term gain, and therefore can reasonably be described as traitors.) 1/13

I had a sheet of A4 paper that read "what is your question?" on the noticeboard near my desk. I would just point at it if people (usually clinicians) walked in with the opener "I have some data". I had some wonderful collaborations with people who stayed to talk ;-)

I was an ableist asshole when I first became a teacher. Because that’s what I was taught! In my defense, academic institutions told me a strict attendance policy was required. What changed my perspective & my assessment criteria? Disabled students 🧵
