I was lucky to see part of this session being recorded- it's well worth watching! The conversation between Nnenna Osuji and @instagraham.bsky.social is thoughtful, honest and insightful.

Join us online on 25 Nov for this session and others exploring how we can improve healthcare. #QIsky #medsky

I finished my #crochet blanket for the doll my son is getting for Christmas last night. The edges are a bit ragged but I'm super proud of it!

Practicing so I can get good enough to justify the extortionate costs for wool to make an adult sized blanket.

I've learned a new #crochet move to make waves and I love it. This will be a blanket for the baby doll my son is getting for Christmas.

(glass of wine included as crocheting in front of the Christmas tree with a glass of wine is wonderful)

When discussing this we discovered my son thinks Kurt Cobain is his grandfather.

He knows Kurt Cobain isn't alive anymore. He knows my dad isn't alive anymore. The only conclusion he could reach is that they must be the same person.

This is a great opportunity to get involved in research, contribute to data collection, and shape how important aspects of perioperative care will be measured! #surgerysky #qisky #medsky

I always wish I'd come around to this way of thinking before I did my PhD. My thesis would have a quirky name and the whole thing would be an interesting tale of discovery rather than a drudge through lists of facts and a complicated chemical naming system.

I was walking around the house for ages trying to find a solution. I won't try to pretend I wasn't very proud when I found it πŸ˜†

I'm fairly new to #crochet so I don't have a blocking mat. My son does have a toy drill set though.

I bet this was more fun than a blocking mat.
