Poster for the walk. The text reads ‘discover fossils, stone and astronomy in the city of London! The Monument, the Moon and Malta: urban geology on Eastcheap. Meet at 14.30, Monument Station, Fish Street Hill.’ The background image shows a photo of the Malta War Memorial, a block of squared stone with attached black plaques with maps of the Mediterranean and a description of the siege of Malta during World War II.

My final #urbangeology walk for this year will take place on 4 October. Reservations and more information on #LondonWalks website at www.walks.com/our-walks/th.... Hope to see you there, this is my favourite walk!

Pub Med Advanced User Guide A qualitative study of the impact of endometriosis on male partners L Culley et al. Hum Reprod. 2017. Show details Full text links Cite Abstract Study question: What is the impact of endometriosis on male partners of women with the condition? Summary answer: Endometriosis significantly impacts men across several life domains and can negatively impact emotional well-being. trio

npj women's health Search Log in Endo Content About Publish > article Ovary Open access comment Download PDF Comment Published: 21 December 2024 Understanding endometriosis underfunding and its detrimental impact on awareness and research Endometriosis affects approximately 190 million women globally. Many individuals with endometriosis face complex journeys through the healthcare system, set against a backdrop of historically underfunded research into women's health. This study investigates the funding allocated to endometriosis up to 2023 by analysing the top 100 granting foundations in Denmark and comparing it to diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease, with similar prevalence and impact. We found that endometriosis remains significantly underfunded. hetriosis Ovary. ndometrio

Endometriosis research has been chronically underfunded even though it affects a large population of women and can be detrimental to those with it.

So let's spend the little funding it gets to study how hard it is on the men.

Some recent views of the lovely geology of the south coast of Gozo. Lovely limestone. ❤

Someone said this to my face (“but not like you”), then started giving me the numbers for immigrants entering the UK every year and the non-British UK residents… and I was like, “well yeah, I am part of those numbers -.-”

Early Neolithic Pottery Production in the Maltese Islands: Initiating a Għar Dalam and Skorba Pottery Fabric Classification The Early Neolithic (EN) period (5500–4800 BCE) marks the first sedentary settlement of the Maltese Islands by farmers. Despite advances in petrographic and archaeometric studies of pottery in Maltese...

We also discussed the challenges in dating the Għar Dalam and Skorba phases ⏳🏺
➡ Overlaps, residual material & site redeposition complicate the picture
➡ Raises questions about how these facies relate, and their connections with Sicilian traditions

Using petrography, XRD and SEM-EDX, we: 🔹 Identified 3 main fabric groups for each phase 🔹 Documented differences in temper & firing regimes 🔹 Proposed that all raw materials were locally sourced (no imports!)

We focused on pottery from Skorba (Malta) & Santa Verna (Gozo).
This paper provides a systematic fabric classification for the Għar Dalam and Skorba phases 🏺 — a foundation for future comparative work in the Maltese Islands and central Mediterranean.
