On 29 November, @OxfordCity will debate a motion to stop greyhound racing returning to Oxford. If you live in Oxford, please contact your local councillor and urge them to vote to ensure it doesn't return to the city. @Lucy_1103 @peta #BanGreyhoundRacing #StopOxfordDogRacing

Life always amazes me a little more every day!

@NAMorrissey Congratulations! 🎉 🎉🌟🌟

Oh. my. goodness. The day has come. I have received confirmation that my PhD has been awarded!!!🧠😊 This has been despite SO MANY obstacles; ones you would expect, as well as not expect(!), through research itself but also multiple horrible and traumatic life events. 1/2

Alas, my PhD work followed me to my postdoc (*almost* done with this project). At least the data is beautiful!

@francaselles @ForeverHoundsUK they clearly said that they have carefully assessed that he will suit living in a flat

@ForeverHoundsUK He needs a big backyard. The family MUST move. Now.

#ForeverHomeFriday Crosby is home forever! It's been a longer process for this lovely boy now called Kozby, as his new family live in a flat. Meetings, assessments and a home trial to check he would suit living in a flat in a more urban area were all successful, and he went home!

@JuliaCrunden @yeastpi @superstreps @diezmannlab @apreston243 Huge congratulations Dr. Crunden - now to celebrate!! And rest! 👏👏💐🌟

Do you plan to wear a mask beyond 19th July to keep your community safe? RT to stand together and tell the world we’ll #WearAMask

@JuliaCrunden Congrats! 👏👏👏🎉

One of the greatest things about dogs is they bring you into the now. You may be in a way that is sad, but a dog lives right now and a new smell, a fun movement or an activity brings out their joy. The science is resounding that their attitude helps a human one. #Dogs #Friday

Thread on BPD/EUPD Hi. As I’ve talked more about BPD I’ve had more people come to about what is it/what does it look like/advice on what if they have it so here’s a short thread detailing some stuff I thought might be useful

One year ago, I protested outside Downing Street. I was six months’ pregnant, and working as a doctor on the frontline. 👩‍⚕️ Within hours, I knew my life would never be the same. THREAD:
