I’ve been beer judging today. I awarded two golds in the categories I was judging. Both were pink. And they say women know nothing about beer…. 🤣

12 hour waits on a trolley for a hospital bed were 3,000 times worse in 2023 than in 2011. A truly remarkable stat on the state of the NHS in England. Watch to the end:📈
How has England’s NHS fared under Conservative governments? @C4Ciaran and @FactCheck have been crunching the numbers.

Trying to work on my notes on the perception of taste and looking for current writing in this area. Do not google ‘how do humans taste’ it brings up a whole load of other reading…

It’s a busy few weeks at the start of semester so this got a bit lost! Thanks to Niki Charleston representing the @IBDHQ to talk to our students about all the support they can offer at our first After Hours session of AY23/24!

Hi @blurofficial it’s with a heavy heart that I have to miss the gig on Sat night. My partner is ill, combined with travelling down from Edinburgh and then the onward rail strikes it’s just not meant to be! I just wish @TicketmasterUK would let me resell my tickets!

Excited to be stocking this year’s release from @NatrlSelectBrew - ‘Pump Up the Bram’, a bramble farmhouse saison. In partnership with @StewartBrewing, it was developed, brewed, marketed, and sold by four students from @HeriotWattUni’s Master of Brewing & Distilling programme.

It’s taken a number of years with delays for Covid and rail strikes, but me and @petereells finally did the Transpennine Real Ale Trail

Natural Selection @NatrlSelectBrew is an annual project of brewing students at @HeriotWattUni who devise, brew and market a commercial beer. Pump Up The Bram is a “funky fruit beer with brambles” and we think there are about 10 pints left! #GRAF23
