Any advice for cleaning the inside bit of the lid on a @tommeetippee GoPrep formula feed maker? Mines full of mold, I’ve tried a bottle brush, straw brush, different cloths, all to no avail

Fatigue is a killer. New technologies to monitor alertness have great potential in the context of transport applications. How can we help this fledgling industry? Victoria Laxton explores this superhero technology in her blog 👉 bit.ly/3vGfJwE
Great experience speaking at 'Drowning Prevention and Treatment' global webinar with @physoc this morning. I hope you all enjoyed my talk on the fatigue lessons we could learn from the bus industry! Thanks @DrJennySmith, @ProfMikeTipton, @drpaddymorgan, & @adeymayhew_.

Drowning remains a global pandemic claiming the lives of at least 1000 people a day.
Join us in October for the #DrowningPrevention meeting. Submit your abstract by 25 Sept 🔗 buff.ly/3t22t43 #RespectTheWater @ProfMikeTipton
Looking for some inspiration. I have an old WWII air raid shelter in my garden. My curiosity wants to just get in and look inside, but it’s full of water, so any tips for emptying? Also any general restoring/refurbishing tips?

A thought piece I have recently written with @NewsfromTRL about a recent ‘SMIDSY’ incident. How can we can make a safer road system?
Sorry mate I didn't see you, but how could I?
Victoria Laxton has a near miss with a cyclist in the dark. In this blog she explores the implications for road safety.

"Sorry mate I didn't see you" is a frequent cause of road collisions. Victoria Laxton believes lessons learned from her research into intense classification training of lifeguards (on the lookout for drowning swimmers) could be lifesavers.

.@DerbyUniPsych’s eye-tracking research explores whether using colour-coded syringe trays can help reduce medication errors. The research has featured in @BJAJournals and @NursingNotesUK ow.ly/MO9X50MtHJ3 @FrankieMaratos @victorialaxton @Ed_Stupple

Petitioning to put an intermission back into movies that are longer than 2 hours. That new batman just kept on going.

On this International Women’s Day my thoughts are with the Ukrainian women. Those who fight, those who cook, those who treat the wounded, those who have left everything behind & are fleeing. May they keep safe & stay strong & may this nasty war come to an end soon. 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦🕊🕊🕊
