What they don't tell you about switch to #EV is the incompetence of the systems and companies behind making it practical
1/
Next we get to #EV charger install
@ohmeEV lined up for that, except 36h before due to arrive seems their engineer hasn't submitted forms @scottishpower, which would alert that install isn't possible and so their plan seemed to be turn up, like @britishgas and walk off
4/
Now cancelled @ohmeEV installation as many better things to do than sit around for engineers from major companies to shuffle along and state the obvious.
In short #EV just not practical with incapable UK supply companies like @britishgas @scottishpower and @ohmeEV in process

Yeesh
Talk about tone deaf victim blaming
Perhaps a word to impatient and discourteous drivers @trafficscotland?

New @PennNSG research finds that most people who met proposed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) criteria in life did not show the hallmark brain changes of the disease at autopsy. spr.ly/6014BBhn8Y

The proposed clinical features of #Traumatic Encephalopathy Syndrome have low predictive value for #CTE pathology, raising concerns for incorrect #diagnoses of #neurodegeneration in former athletes. #TBI @JohnDArenaMD

There is strong evidence that neither the mental state aspects or the anger supposedly associated with cte occur at any higher rates- the first thing to do is to drop these from criteria. Second thing is to add specific rider not better explained by functional cognitive disorder

This is an important paper for those interested in head trauma
CTE cannot be diagnosed during life. Our work published today in @NatureMedicine demonstrates that most individuals meeting proposed clinical criteria do not have evidence of #CTE neuropathology at autopsy (1/5)

@PennNSG @PennMedCSO @WillStewNeuro
75% of those meeting proposed clinical criteria identifying chronic traumatic encephalopathy (#CTE) during life do not have the pathology at autopsy.
Raises serious concern re consequences of incorrect diagnoses in at risk groups

"Guidance for managing #concussion in grassroots sports"
While there's been great progress with grassroots sports concussion guidance internationally the past decade or so, in some regions it is still a mess.
Hard to believe this is published in 2026
