So seriously, in grad school a therapist gave me some solid advice:
If you try to bring work on vacation you’ll succeed at neither. You have to give yourself permission to relax knowing the work will still be there for you when you return

🦠 Research shows that targeting E.coli's outer capsule, which is linked to its virulence, could help treat bloodstream infections.
This study was led by @sangerinstitute, @imperialcollege, @UniOslo, and @ucl. ⤵️

I’ve learned from a decade on this app to not accept the superficial way things are presented here, especially when someone’s words are being used against them. And so I watched the whole session for context. And I’m glad I did. Because in context it’s way worse.

I am so concerned about the use of plastic grass that if anyone on here is considering using it I will give you alternative advice ( free )as to how to landscape without it. If I can stop one square meter being layed it's worth the effort.

Scarlet fever is getting a lot of media attention at the moment, because of an increased number of cases and sporadic antibiotic shortages. I know parents are worrying. So, here's another set of photos of what it looks like on darker skin.
