Human geneticist interested in cognition, neurodevelopment, dyslexia and handedness. Made in Italy.
We have reached a point in discussions with our employers where we have made significant progress across a range of issues. To allow our ongoing negotiations to continue in a constructive environment we have agreed to pause action across both disputes for the next two weeks and create a period of calm.
This means the strikes on 21, 22, 23, 27, 28 February, and 1, 2 March will not go ahead. All the action scheduled after these dates remains in place.

New year, new laptop. I got an HP 360 (i.e. you can fold it to become an ipad). Any recommendation to start in the right way, especially to set up a good system to annotate PDFs?
@tom_hartley I was just thinking about this. Really struggling to get any real engagement.
@snailman that's odd as I could read it, but from the link posted here I cannot access it either 🫤

I ASK EVERYONE WHO SEES THIS TWEET TO PLEASE RT IT.
Tomorrow nurses strike. They will be put through hell by the media, politicians and the establishment.
Ahead of the action please share this tweet if you back the nurses and find it sickening that they are being vilified.
Is this a good app for people who don't like running?
