cutting from Daily Express 9/9/1914, p. 4, photo of young woman wearing form of nursing uniform, captioned: A member of the "Daily Express" Nursing Corps photographed yesterday at Selfridge's wearing the special badge with the regulation overall and cap. Inset is an enlarged reproduction of the badge.
Does anyone know of any work on the ‘Daily Express Nursing Corps’, formed in August 1914? I’m researching someone who apparently paid for the training, exams, & uniform but then was unable to secure relevant employment. #WW1 #NursingHistory #histmed #medicalhistory

A page of cursive handwriting featuring a flourish about the final D of each word.
Title page of "A Syllabus of the Lectures on Midwifery, Delivered at Guy's Hospital, 1813 and 1814" by Dr. Haighton.
The book open at two page. The left shows a printed syllabus with information about the placenta, the righthand page is filled with handwritten notes on the topic.
Image shows the marbled cover of the book.
For #HandwritingDay, step into an 1813 classroom. This book belonged to a student who attended Dr Haighton’s midwifery lectures at Guy’s. The writing is in a flowing cursive. Look for the flourish on the letter D. It’s interleaved: a printed syllabus bound together with blank pages for notes.

We have been watching #Amadeus and the opening titles piqued our interest. The animations show the making of catgut, a material used for both musical instruments and for surgical suturing. We've paired some stills with images from our collection to show how catgut was made 🧵🪡

A quote from Helena Wells, Research Manager at Wellcome: "These awards will support transdisciplinary teams to lay the foundations for discoveries at the intersection of genomics, humanities, social sciences and wider society."
What if genomics, other disciplines and wider society came together to shape research?
This is the goal of our Genomics in Context Awards.

For #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities, we’re remembering Agnes Hunt (1866-1948), the first orthopaedic nurse.
Her own experiences of a painful hip condition shaped her patient care and the field of orthopaedic nursing.

A poster with branding for the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre fo Virus Research, labelled 'Virus Snowflakes.' The poster shows snowflake-like virus designs and song lyrics reading:
On the twelfth day of Christmas, a virus gave to me,
Twelve fights worth winning,
Eleven Christmas dinners,
Ten lunar landers,
Nine childhood vaccines,
Eight tools for teaching,
Seven dogs a-barking,
Six wasps a-laying,
FIIIIVE TIIINY RIIIIIIINGS,
Four vaccine platforms,
Three genome segments,
Two twinned capsids, and
A world that is too small to see
Feeling festive?
Why not deck the halls with @cvrinfo.bsky.social's papercraft #VirusSnowflakes and celebrate the science of viruses and the fight against viral diseases.
