🇧🇷 APPLE VISON PRO ADOPTED BY BRAZILIAN SURGEON For the first time in Brazil, a surgeon successfully used an Apple Vision Pro headset to optimize a surgical procedure. Surgeon, Bruno Gobbato: "Shoulder arthroscopy surgery uses a camera inside the joint and surgeons perform it by looking directly at a screen. With this device, I was able to see the image on the size of a movie screen with high resolution, as well as being able to see the patient's exams and 3D models in real-time." Experts expect the device to be used routinely in Brazilian healthcare soon. Source: MacMagazine

🧊Fuel duty has been frozen for 14 years in a row. 📈Three days ago, rail fares went up by nearly 5% 🚗Private cars get a free ride, while the price of public transport goes up and up.
A graph showing how motoring costs have risen at a slower rate than the cost of bus and rail travel from 1990 to the present day. The headline reads "climate-friendly transport costs have risen faster than motoring costs for more than three decades". The source is the ONS Consumer price inflation time series (MM23)

Hi @BBOWT . For a course I'm doing, I'd love to know what fish are known to be in the pond at C.S. Lewis Nature Reserve. Can you help please? I heard a rumour that there were released koi and that roach were found years ago when it was drained?
