Not going to join some party named after an Italian scientist! I want a party named after a British scientist - such as: Joule Kelvin Newton Faraday Gray

The Brazilian is exactly the same as all the other variants. Except that, instead of having spikes all over, it just leaves one strip of them.

Given this: The UK coronavirus vaccine rollout is constrained by limited supply of the vaccines, but the government is on track to vaccinate the top four priority groups by 15 February, Matt Hancock has said. What is the point of this: The government is to roll out 24/7 vaccinations centres...

Sell a man enough rope and he'll hang himself: Boris Johnson stands by claim Donald Trump deserves Nobel Peace Prize Prime minister asked about 2018 comments during appearance at Liaison Committee...

There are such things as electrostatic motors!

Are you reversing the direction of the arrow of time? Albert Einstein (/ˈaɪnstaɪn/ EYEN-styne;[4] 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) George Boole (/buːl/; 2 November 1815 – 8 December 1864)

Was the 20 years according to the flying twin or the one who remains here? :) And did you see that the DNA of twins differs by more than had previously been realised?

A little more now we are back. They fitted green/red lights a few weeks back - never seen them red. Today, two "security" people. And a queue. Which is fun in the wind and rain. Everyone being told to use hand sanitiser - probably including those who wear gloves. Before that point I had...

Tesco now operating a one person per household policy, mandatory hand sanitiser, strict queue into shop. Not exactly complaining but a big contrast to just a few days ago.

Thank goodness they introduced self-adhesive stamps. I wouldn't want to lick...

Trouble is that all these formulas are like going back to 19th century physics. Smooth, continuous variables/functions do not explain the photo-electric effect. Virus infection appears to be far more quantum. Which makes sense to me. Yes, I know that there appears to be a swing towards...

USA is getting some very heavy language - from people who matter: (CNN)America's most senior military leaders condemned the violent invasion of the US Capitol last week and reminded service members of their obligation to support and defend the Constitution and reject extremism in a statement...

BNF now accessible (for those who appear to be in the UK) online: https://bnf.nice.org.uk/ Which can be very useful.

Oh - I agree - allowing consent to delay is crazy. I was both endorsing the need to greater speed and putting my hand up to say informed consent is a vital protection. I'd argue that they should put all the necessary information "out there" - on websites, in newspapers, linked from adverts - so...

If is is so very slow, it is rather odd that he has reached a definitive conclusion already. Wouldn't we expect at least a few months longer?

In many ways, the need for consent is important and good. (And I come across many issues still extant day by day. ) But it has been held that holding out your arm for a blood draw or BP measurement is itself consenting. Though the full set of circumstances needs to be considered. Some of the...

Two snippets come to mind: We've got nothing, always had nothing Nothing but holes and millions of them Living in holes, dying in holes Holes in our bellies and holes in our clothes Marat, we're poor And the poor stay poor...

I don't see that at all. The statement “there was no indication” is not one of awareness or knowledge. It implies that he believes he is competent, he checked as thoroughly as he was able and he did not find any indication to the point at which he was certain that such evidence does not exist...

An interesting take on voting: We get our President or we die. FBI warned of 'war' at the Capitol a day before riot - report An FBI office in Virginia reportedly issued an internal warning a day before the violent riot at the Capitol that extremists were preparing to travel to Washington and...
