Every year, people mock this tree. But I love it anyway.

It reminds us that if we stand together in tough times, we can overcome anything.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours. 🎄✨

Parents & anyone else up early on Christmas morning: there’s a bright pass of the International Space Station over the UK, just after 6.15.

Well, I say it’s the ISS. Could be Santa heading home…

Sleigh rides, sleeper trains and reindeer stew. Here’s my final piece for the year on Finland’s Santa Claus Express!

I took my kids to Lapland on the Santa Claus Express – but would the big man deliver?
If meeting Santa Claus is on your children’s wishlist, this trip on a festive sleeper train from Helsinki to Rovaniemi, with reindeer and huskies thrown in, is Christmas with jingle bells on

2025 has been a speed competition in normalising racism. And as Toni Morrison said, the serious function of racism is distraction. So 2025 has topped the charts in distraction from the real work to achieve societal progress.
Wishing you a less distracted 2026.

Christmas Special: Adoration of the MAGA

The new Private Eye is out now
A photo of the front cover of issue 1665 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The cover illustration is a satirical Nativity scene titled “ADORATION OF THE MAGA.” A crowd of caricatured political and public figures gathers around a manger scene, with winged angels overhead proclaiming “Fake Good News!” and “Tidings of Great Again Joy!” At the centre, a Madonna-and-child parody features a baby styled after Donald Trump, with speech bubbles including “Unto us a manchild is born!” and “Bring me gold, gold and gold!” Around them are exaggerated kings, shepherds and onlookers holding props such as fast food, beer and gifts, with captions like “Peace Prize on Earth!”, “It’s a stable relationship!”, “Lo! We come from afar right,” and “Lettuce pray!”

"These costs are incurred by scientists in writing proposals, by their peers in reviewing them and by the administrative systems that run the process. The question is, which costs more: the research being funded, or the application process itself?"

Open science must avoid ‘feeding the machine’ for AI firms.

One of the events that will be featured as part of the festivities will be what Trump called the “first-ever Patriot Games, an unprecedented four-day athletic event featuring the greatest high school athletes — one young man and one young woman from each state and territory.” The event is slated for next fall.

When I was a medical student 45 years ago, I clerked in a 13 year old girl with deep jaundice and an abdominal mass. She was Hepatitis B positive. That had led to a primary liver tumour. In a 13-year-old. She was dead within the month. Avoidable with vaccination.

The CDC has endorsed ACIP’s decision of revoking universal access in USA to hepatitis B vaccines at birth. The policy had been in place for 34y and was changed despite no new evidence emerging of any risk of vaccination. #HealthPolicy 🧵
CDC accepts ACIP’s hepatitis B vaccine recommendations for babies
The CDC also said if a baby is not receiving a birth dose of vaccine, the initial dose should be administered no earlier than 2 months of age.
