Photograph of a page from Charles Darwin’s 1837 Notebook B showing the “Tree of Life” sketch, which gives a glimpse of his early insights into how a set of multiple related species might originate by divergence from a single starting point. The bottom shows a common root with various branches and twigs emerging from different nodes, with labels from A to D. There is a handwritten annotation at the top, reading “I think”. Further handwritten annotations on the right-hand side of the image are thought to state the following. “Case must be that one generation then should be as many living as now. To do this and to have many species in same genus (as is) requires extinction.”
One of my favourite things about this figure (sketched by Charles Darwin in one of his notebooks in 1837) is the “I think” at the top. Beyond an illustration of his evolving thoughts on descent with modification, the image somehow captures the essence of scientific curiosity. #DarwinDay 2026
✅ The UK Government has today granted access to half a million UK Biobank participants' coded GP data for health research.
This change will dramatically increase the power of UK Biobank's dataset to advance the diagnosis, treatment and management of conditions handled by GPs.

Fascinating read not just about the implication la of making your abstract sound “cool” but also about how this changes with authorship gender 🤔
A new study published in Modern Pathology reveals that the growth pattern of breast cancer tumors after neoadjuvant treatment can indicate the risk of recurrence. This insight is crucial for assessing patient prognosis 🧪

Screenshot of graph with title 'Proportion of Cancer Cases by Route to Diagnosis England, 2020'. The relevant percentages for breast cancer are Two week clinic 59.8%, Screening 21%, other outpatient3%, GP referral 8.7%, emergency presentation 4.8%, unknown 1.8%.
Surprised to find only 21% of #BreastCancer in the UK is diagnosed via screening. The majority are diagnosed via symptoms and referral to '2 week clinic'. (Which I gather may be >2 weeks wait).
The figure in Australia is 46%. Shouldn't the UK invest more in earlier (asymptomatic) detection? 🤔
