Woke up nice and early for a productive PhD morn. Instead, spent it destroying the bathroom cabinets in my new house because this young starling fledgling was trapped! Carpe diem, little dude!

Access alone is not enough; people need high-quality care.
Fewer women are dying in childbirth as access to health care has increased.
Maternity service coverage has increased.
Access to health care saves lives. Pregnancy can be a dangerous time in a woman's life.
It's #WorldHealthDay
Since 2000, maternal deaths globally declined by 40%! ๐
BUTโprogress is slowing, and aid funding cuts mean major threats to lifesaving maternity services in many parts of the world. โ

Took the train today rather than drive so that I could work. Rewarded by @tpexpress.bsky.social with a free book for World Book Day! Nice!

After all the years of bullshitting us about their green plans, even turning their logo into a flower, BP turns out to be as crap as we always suspected.
And BP shareholders, equally crap. Yes, equally crap.
