For anyone else in the UK saying it's 5.20pm and it's already dark!! 🦉🌛
Cartoon - a woman looks out of the window and it's dark outside. She yells "it's pitch-black outside! What time is it? Is it midnight? It feels like midnight!" The man standing next to her looks calm and says "it's 5.27 pm"

*the wildly outdated miasma theory that was disproved in the 19th century. It shows a fundamental lack of understanding (or respect) of an entire discipline of science. It's like not believing in gravity
A woman is sitting at a bench in a lab next to a microscope. She is wearing a lab coat and gloves and she has one hand on her forehead (she should take her glove off!). She looks distressed

This needs a tiny violin..
Three panel image. In the top panel, a woman in a white coat looks into a microscope. In the second panel there is an image of blood cells. The third panel is a close up of blood cells and a tiny violin, about the length of 1.5 red blood cells, so about 9 microns in length. Very small indeed
