The actions of genes are fundamental to life as we know it. But how is your genome’s prodigious output controlled? What checks and balances ensure the right ‘amount’ of gene activity in each of your trillions of cells? What is conducting the molecular orchestra of life? Researchers have been unpicking the pathway from gene to […]
Read MoreWhen going to my hospital work, I pass a well-kept peaceful and quite large grass area surrounded by a fence. A memory stone declares that this is a mass grave of cholera victims from the 1850s. As a researcher in fluid balance, I sometimes think about how little doctors knew about this topic 175 years […]

For many years, the central textbook in this field was a 128-page volume written in 1967 by Frank Fish, titled Clinical Psychopathology: […]
Read MoreMost people are familiar with the idea that there is an interaction between physical and mental health. Living with severe chronic illness or disability can have very marked psychological impact, and experience from the recent pandemic has shown how acute severe illness and its personal and social consequences can affect mental health. Other obvious examples […]
Read MoreAs clinicians involved in training and supervision, we have observed in others and ourselves how starting psychotherapy with a patient is often anxiety-provoking for both parties. This experience may leave new therapists in particular feeling de-skilled. Learning a new style of working can add to a feeling of being at sea. It is perfectly understandable […]
