The excitement is building as we are only hours away from the BBS 60th anniversary biennial meeting. We look forward to welcoming you all: sad that it is not in person, but delighted that so many of you will be joining us virtually! Hmm karaoke may be difficult this year. #BBS60

Dominic Cummings has now admitted repeatedly breaking the lockdown rules. Of course, he thinks he has an excuse - that those rules didn’t really apply to him - but we absolutely do not agree. Please RT if you don’t either.

'Nightingale knew that data was only as persuasive as the graphs that illustrated them, so she became a pioneer in data visualisation' - how appropriate to rememeber pioneering statistician and health professional Florence Nightingale's birth today theguardian.com/society/2020…

Please don’t be too distracted by the new slogan. The rules that remain in place are what really matters. So please continue to: * Stay at home whenever possible * Limit contact with others * Keep 2m apart * Wash your hands often And please RT to remind others to do the same
