Ridiculous of the British Museum to remove the word 'Palestine" from its displays, when it has a greater antiquity than the word "British". The first reference to Palestine is on the Egyptian monument of Medinet Habu in 1186BCE. The first reference to Britain is the 4th century BC when it appears in the work of the Greek traveler Pytheas of Massalia.

Less than 3 weeks before it's due to be debated, Kim Leadbeater MP has finally published the text of her assisted suicide bill. It's 38 pages long, has 43 clauses and 6 schedules. MPs will have a maximum of five hours to debate it. bills.parliament.uk/bills/37…

The National Screening Committee has already reviewed the case for prostate cancer screening in the UK and concluded that the PSA test has too many limitations to be used as in a screening programme. The case of Sir Chris Hoy is tragic but it should not drive government policy.

This is a war crime. We must not continue arming the monstrous government that performed this atrocity.
@Keir_Starmer what sort of human rights lawyer are you that looks at this & merely shrugs?
@DavidLammy how can you live with yourself when you know what you know but do nothing?

Dear BBC, just a reminder that so far Reform hasn’t won any seats. None. Zero. Nada. Meanwhile @TheGreenParty doing well. Look forward to you inviting them on to get their opinion as winners rather than losers…

The amount of coverage given to the Green Party, who have so far won 159 seats in these elections, compared to Reform UK, who have won two, has been quite something
The improvements in walking performance we saw here seemed like magic. Especially with the short intervention time and unknown mechanisms (though I've some ideas). Dose could do with refining but this treatment has legs! Well done @paris_cai!

In England, prostate cancer incidence strongly predictable by regional wealth R2=0.71 (data from statista.com, excludes London). NHS "informed choice" program on PSA is actually a "screen the wealthy" program.

Perhaps a particularly healthy and well-off sample?
Fitness leves in the UK:
-women 35.2 mL·min−1·kg−1 V̇O2max 🫀
-men 41.7 mL·min−1·kg−1 V̇O2max 🫀
V̇O2max is less steeply inversely associated with age than anticipated, are older generations are fitter than younger generations? journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/F…
