Brussels sprouts and Finnish lanttulaatikko feature in day 5 of #ChemAdvent. Their chemical connection is glucosinolates, bitter compounds in sprouts and swedes.
Genetic variations in people affect the perception of this bitterness – so if you're not a sprouts fan, that could be why!

Random colleagues in other disciplines now commonly say "the code's on OSF". It's just so great to see an academic org like COS, that goes beyond advocating for change, and actually builds the tools and services that make science work better. More!
Each year, hundreds of people donate to COS, helping keep OSF free and strengthening our open scholarship training and community support across research fields. This #GivingTuesday, we’d be grateful for your support: www.cos.io/support-yef25.

Its hard out here for GPs, with the ANPs, pharmacy first taking the low hanging fruits, we’re essentially a complex medical/geriatrics ward level of multimorbidity puzzle solving machines. We’re investigating far too much, not sharing uncertainty enough and being overly defensive too. Not ideal.

We've had a great response but would love to hear from more people in community and primary care and more early-career pharmacists. Make your views heard!
