Really pleased to see my old @newscientist pal @layallivs' book "Systemic" out in the wild. She spoke with @LiveScience health editor @NicolettaML about racism in healthcare, and why this is an issue for all of us livescience.com/health/racis…
We also have an extract from the book, which gives a thought-provoking insight into the anxieties she faced considering pregnancy. It's well worth the read livescience.com/health/ferti…
Oil is on the way out, but can we live without it? Really happy to see this excellent report from @hannah__osborne on what our transition away from oil might look like livescience.com/planet-earth…

What are these things?? Amateur archaeologists find ancient Roman dodecahedron in England. Was it a toy, mace head, calculating device, knitting pattern or even a cultic object?
Covered by @HHAspasia for @LiveScience livescience.com/archaeology/…
A belated bravo 👏

Happy New Year!! If you didn't already know, 2024 is a leap year (meaning we get an extra day in Feb). If you've ever wondered why we have leap years and where they came from, then check out my latest explainer @LiveScience 🗓️

I had a fantastic chat with @helenczerski for @LiveScience published last week when i was eating baguettes in France. We spoke about the deep blue sea and what makes it tick livescience.com/planet-earth…
She also told me about "one of the most bonkers and brilliant experiments ever devised." livescience.com/planet-earth…
It was all rather fun, and if you want more we have an extract from her new book, where we learn why turtles 'weep while they eat' livescience.com/planet-earth…
