Peonies, first of the year.
Exciting news for #primarycare researchers. @capcbristol.bsky.social @nihrspcr.bsky.social @sapc.ac.uk
Unbelievably awful.
This is a terrible terrible destructive decision.
These sorts of long running research programmes take decades to build and their insights accumulate over decades too - the longer they run, the more valuable they become.
This is knowledge vandalism. Nothing new and shiny can replace it.
The UK’s first Grief research Centre launched today, building on the incredible work and brilliance of the co-directors @lucyselman.bsky.social and @leseldawson.bsky.social and funded by @bnssgresearch.bsky.social. Such important, exciting work ahead.
There’s fresh snow waiting for you. Enjoy.
Perfect end to a great day climbing it.
