I see the repression of the feminine principle as the biggest problem on the planet, and since the planet has become a global village, power alone just isn't going to work anymore. We will destroy ourselves.~Marion Woodman

2004 wasn’t the time Family Doctors were scrapped
2010 seems to be the moment the decline started
@Jeremy_Hunt you failed because you didn’t invest in GPs
Funding was cut 2014-2024 by 20% per patient, training more but no funding to retain
Then there was funding of ARRS 🤷🏻♂️

Very sad news that the wonderful Bonnie Greer, playwright and novelist has died aged 77. I interviewed her a couple of times and watched her on BBC QT. She was a smart, sassy, firebrand who will be missed from our public discourse RIP 🙏🏽

An extraordinary @Nature paper has just landed from the lab of @Sergiu_P_Pasca at @Stanford - led by Konstantin Kaganovsky. They have found a way to create "xenocortical mice" which have ~92% of their cortex occupied by a cortical organoid derived from human stem cells. This human-derived cortical graft integrates deeply with the host nervous system, supporting organised neural activity and behaviour.
This study is a milestone in synthetic biology and chimera research. It has the potential to generate multiple medical breakthroughs by providing an enhanced biological model of human brain tissue that allows behavioural as well as neural and genetic assays.
The Stanford team have been exceptionally thorough and proactive in addressing ethical concerns that comes from this frontier work. But their pioneering work nonetheless raises many open questions: are the xenocortical mice conscious? Do they have any human-like properties of consciousness or cognition?
@NitaFarahany and I will be addressing some of these questions in a forthcoming commentary - where we'll also offer an ethically-informed roadmap to guide this important research as it progresses. In this context, "pacing the frontier" really does make sense 😉
Read the Stanford @nature paper here, and buckle up. It's wild. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Dreams do not deceive, do not lie, do not distort or disguise-they seek to express something ego does not know & does not understand. Dreams are neither deliberate nor arbitrary fabrications; they are natural phenomena which are nothing other than what they pretend to be.~CG Jung

.@RNLI volunteers were shamefully abused by extremists yesterday and social full of extremists using hateful and libellous language about a volunteer life saving institution. Real patriots are proud of RNLI.

Pip is a benefit which helps people with disabilities live independently. For many it is essential to allow them to work - whether as employees or volunteers. Proposals to axe this will add to dependency not remove it. .@thecsp opposes such changes. @cspdisability

We need mire capacity year round to meet changing population needs and provide a buffer for emerging health threats (environmental, conflict & pandemic). NHS runs with no reserve capacity & understaffed eg a lower ratio of physios to population compared to similar nations.
The NHS needs a summer plan as well as a winter one ift.tt/F83HwsI

All people who claim to be spiritual try to get away from the fact of the body; they want to destroy it in order to be something imaginary, but they never will be that, because the body denies them; the body says otherwise.~CG Jung
