Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

I wish the incoming government would review the massive proliferation of statutory bodies which inspect, monitor, regulate and investigate health care staff. Yet not a single one to address their emotional and well being needs.

We need an urgent review of the proliferation and effectiveness of mandatory & statutory training requirements for health care staff.

The Common torpedo is a species of electric ray that can generate up to 200 volts. In 1773, John Hunter researched the torpedo ray, publishing an article in 'Philosophical Transactions'. The abdomen of this specimen was dissected by Hunter to show the absorption of the yolk sac.

Early spring flowers like primrose, crocuses, daffodil & snowdrops are a welcome sight for many pollinators as they start to emerge. 🌻🐞🌷 They're an important energy source for pollinators, providing nectar early in the season. #Wildflowers #PLT #london

Specimens in Focus 🔍 Rows of shark teeth! These are pieces of jaw from a great white shark, the world's largest predatory fish. Sharks have rows of biting teeth – with even more forming behind, gradually moving forward to replace teeth that fall out.

Please look at this. It's time to turn the tide on things that take doctors away from worthwhile activity. Let's stop pretending and let's call it out. Let's make the most of our time | The Bulletin of the Royal College of Surgeons of England publishing.rcseng.ac.uk/doi/…

What a wonderful find 🥰 #ForeverKings🦁
Purchased this classic from wonderful @Hatchards today and slipped among its pages was a party invitation to what must be the ancestor of @KCLalumni. It seems 1948 was a good year for @HarperCollins and students alike…
