O Christmas tree, o cosmic tree 🎄
Located about 2,500 light-years from Earth, NGC 2264 is a cluster of young stars between one and five million years old. The stars appear as blue and white lights surrounded by swirls of gas—the “pine needles” of the tree—with green representing light in the visible spectrum.

Essentials of life include whatever is necessary to take your place in public without shame. Having agency, a sense of self-worth, and participating in networks of family and friends. Lack of income threatens these and damages health. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Reading this article whilst I force down some cornflakes to keep up my calorie intake, 8 weeks on from my severe nausea starting and 15 weeks into pregnancy. It's so vital that women are believed and that research into this is supported and funded!

I also have more than 10 years experience of both the NHS and the US healthcare systems. Birth, critical illness, and death of beloved family in both. I now spend my free time writing hymns to the NHS. It is an astonishing human achievement. Happy to fight for it all day long.

Spoke to our local media yesterday about why 100,000s of families have every right to feel utterly betrayed by the government, their parties and the lack of empathy in response. @pressjournal pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lif…

Short, clear, useful, scary paper:
Risk of COVID death = risk of infection AND risk of dying from it
If people have lower risk of infection (e.g. isolating), we underestimate their risk of COVID fatality
And this misunderstanding has caused governments to remove protections
Our new article is out in @amjepi today!
Led by @EpidByDesign we discuss how careless “risk factor” studies have confused many countries’ covid responses.
Always fun to ponder tricky problems with this great team! @edwardsjk @PWGTennant @MaartenvSmeden
