Finally got a chance to watch A Real Pain this week. Lovely little film with great acting and visuals. Won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but a nice opportunity to reflect on how humans deal with stuff (or perhaps how we don’t).

Steven McRae: Dancing Back to the Light At the peak of his career, acclaimed ballet dancer Steven McRae severely damages his Achilles tendon. This is the story of his rehabilitation and the days leading up to his triumphant return to stage.

A beautiful film. Prepare to be fascinated by the fluidity of movement and capability of the human body. Brilliant insight into the realities of the psychology of injury. A must watch for any physiotherapist. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Some reflections on Healthcare education and our student experiences of the Grit breakthrough programme at Cardiff University

The Global Goals on X: "Which surprises you most about the gendered impact of climate change? 🔴 Women are 14x more likely to die in climate disasters 🔴 Gender-based violence increases during disasters 🔴 Only 15 of 140 speakers at COP28 were women 🔴 Women are 80% of climate displaced people" / X Which surprises you most about the gendered impact of climate change? 🔴 Women are 14x more likely to die in climate disasters 🔴 Gender-based violence increases during disasters 🔴 Only 15 of 140 speakers at COP28 were women 🔴 Women are 80% of climate displaced people

The worst thing about this post is that none of these points are in any way surprising.
Change gender to any other protected characteristic and similar statements would also be true.
Climate change will put inequality front and centre.

Really disappointed with recent BBC Panorama doc exploring e-bikes. Biased to show issues with illegal bikes, and will further contribute to negative views of all cyclists.
So much for the beeb being committed to a balanced view.

Before choosing bottled water over tap water, remember it takes more than 10X the water that a bottle of water holds to make the plastic bottle and transport the water. And that’s before considering the fuel and GHGs, the 1000 year bottle life, and the RIDICULOUS amount of $ we’re paying for water.

And the weight of these monsters contributes to road degradation and increased potholes - a problem for flooding and puddles which splash other pedestrians & cyclists…

Great thread. Beauty even in the mundane of daily life.
Superb photography and design.

Anyone who questions why Cardiff’s Western avenue has a 20mph zone should try using the pavement on a day like today.

A day full of cold tea today. Make a brew, get distracted, pulled into a meeting, buried in emails, then realise I’m thirsty. Standard academia.

Also useful if loading an explosive movement. 👍

Emotions at the desk This  morning I came across a Tweet which resonated hard.  The author reports witnessing a colleague crying at her desk. I am not that colleague, nor do I work in the same institution as the author…

I wrote this about 5 years ago and am pleased to say that I’m in a much better place. Has my job changed- yes, it’s bigger and harder. Have I changed- absolutely. Showing vulnerability built focus and resilience. Success is just the tip of the iceberg.
