#OnThisDay in 1994, the world lost Linus Pauling — the only person to have won two unshared Nobel Prizes. His brilliance spanned chemistry, peace activism, and humanitarian work.

@Cambridge_Uni @Cambridge_Uni what does modern athletics mean..? When was the historical watershed? Was there an ancient athletics match 151 years ago? (Mark Latimer - Clare Alumnus)

Cambridge v Oxford: The world's oldest modern athletics match 👟 This year’s Varsity Athletics Match was a landmark celebration – the 150th Men’s Match, 50th Women’s Match and 2nd Para Match – continuing an unbroken tradition between the two Universities that began in 1864. @WorldAthletics presented two Heritage Plaques to Cambridge, recognising the historic legacy of the Varsity Match and @CUACAthletics.

By the way - can someone advise me from this wonderful thread. Is this supposed to be the moment for me to challenge the VP in an IQ test? And if so will he participate? And when do we do it?

@bbcnickrobinson said on @BBCr4today that darts players were great mathematicians. Typical PPE oxon conflation of maths and arithmetic #math @FryRsquared has a great challenge to help people understand #scienceiseverything @amolrajan @BBCr4today Economics isn't adding up a bill!

@DrSamStraw @NobelPrize @NEJM @bmj_latest @DrMikeDrozd @OllyBrown @TobinJoseph_ @tom__slater @beckysagar1 @giannoudi_m @DrSamStraw I note you are a cardiologist. Do you do interventional work? I think you have published a graph of how much individuals care about outcomes. Surgeons totally own their results (as do cardio and gastro) other physicians and the rest don't care so much (discuss)!

Some researchers win the @NobelPrize Some researchers publish in @NEJM Some researchers change practice forever Our research led @bmj_latest to print the words sh**, f**k, w***ker, and cr** So who's the real winner? 😂 Our 🎄Christmas BMJ 🎄article: bmj.com/content/387/bm…

@southNJscoli @Davembmd Thanks for this paper @southNJscoli I am an avid JPO reader but had not read this previously. It puts some evidence to some of my experiences. @MrDanPerry will soon publish CRAFFT results which (I think) will further justify NOT operating...

@MDLatimer @Davembmd but don’t believe me, take it from the patients: journals.lww.com/pedorthopaedic…

@CUH_NHS I had the privilege to meet Mike More on several occasions. I was always struck by his excellent understanding of the macro and micro level issues in Addenbrookes. Whoever replaces him has big shoes to fill!

After a decade of service, Mike More is stepping down as Chair of CUH. His dedication to patients, staff, and the community has shaped CUH for the better. Leave your thanks and well wishes for Mike below. 💙

@DeakinSue1 @avax_dude @Davembmd @DeakinSue1 why ORIF..!?

@avax_dude @Davembmd Nah as long as there’s a great team briefing to ensure everyone knows the plan

@Davembmd @Davembmd I agree with @neilorpen and @eslamma59069796 why ORIF not MUA (or nice BK scotchcast and medial opening cast wedge under Entonox in clinic)?

@TomWalshaw @OrthopodReg @TomWalshaw My experience is similiar to Simon's. There is a lot of racism but its different. A lot of white Australians think Aboriginals are still on an evoltionary journey... They meanwhile recognise that most Asian Pacific Rim arrivals beat them at EVERYTHING (except rugger)!

@OrthopodReg I asked my Cons (white British man) if he was tempted to stay in Aus after completing his fellowship. To my surprise, he said no, specifically citing, in his words, that ‘Australians are racist, and I’d feel like a second-class citizen.’ Have you experienced any prejudice there?

The requested 🇦🇺 pay update: *Currently* working as a (year 1) ortho surgeon boss in QLD (salary varies by state & “metro centre” vs DGH) I take home £7,250 - £10,500 per month (on-call dependant) work 4 days a week, no private, 1:7 on-call Main issue is a shortage of anaesthetists It is also sometimes quite warm #medtwitter

@OrthopodReg @OrthopodReg Simon I have no shame in discussing my Aussie salary. I did a year at Westmead Children's Hospital in 2007. I earnt $150,000 (Aus) lived in a Sydney harbour front appartment and had a speed boat on a jettie! But... we did 84 hr weekend shifts... Also bonus tax back!

Hey 🇬🇧 #medtwitter Would people be curious about my 🇦🇺 salary? I keep getting DMs and I’ve always believed not talking about money maintains pay gaps and power differentials #orthotwitter

@DrEilidhMaria @sas_sobauk Hi @DrEilidhMaria we have surgical rotation posts at Addenbrookes (looking to recruit any willing DGHs) which are not part of the national selection CST (Core Surgical Training) scheme but which the RCS accepts as equivalent. If you ever want to be a surgeon let me know..!

@DrEilidhMaria @sas_sobauk Hmm this is a tricky one. In my head I think all 'selection' in every situation should be based on merit, but in my heart I want to recruit and retain great UK trainees (of any ethnicity) to be our future Consultants and eminent GPs...

All East of England Core Trainees (CST and LED) are invited to a free MRCS anatomy course in Cambridge. If you are interested scan the QR code to register. Course run by Mark Latimer: I’m sure it will be excellent @EoETrainees @eoeortho @BritOrthopaedic @MDLatimer
