Research by a London academic suggests that teenagers who are heavy social media users are more likely to drink alcohol. Dr Linda Ng Fat from University College London analysed data on how long teenagers were chatting or interacting on social media sites including Facebook, MySpace and Bebo and what impact that had on drinking.
Filmed at one of the UK’S leading foetal medicine units in the country, a new Channel 4 series, Baby Surgeons: Delivering Miracles, shines a light on the rarely seen and often complex work being carried out inside the womb to save the lives of unborn babies. Anita is joined by Basky Thilaganathan, Professor and Director of Foetal Medicine at St George’s Hospital London and Susie, who developed Twin to Twin transfusion syndrome while pregnant with triplets.
The pandemic has allowed many people to appreciate and connect with nature in a way they didn't have time to before. But as an island nation, our knowledge of the struggles faced by the life in our seas is still very poor. Every year the fishing industry inadvertently loses nets and gear that end up trapping and killing marine wildlife. But thankfully there is a team of volunteer divers who are dedicated to finding and removing this 'ghost gear' from UK waters.

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Breaking barriers to cycling for womenHave you always wanted to get on a bike, but something is holding you back? Monday’s programme is for you. Melmbr will be taking on the common barriers to cycling for women, and suggesting ways to overcome them Melmbr This is a genuine problem for many women. A friend described her fear of the road to me last week. Also in sports now it seems where males may take the podium in women’s races. Melmbr My son and I went to Peddleabikeaway in the Forest of Dean yesterday where there are lots of steep downhill trails and jumps. I was amazed at how few women there were. 2% perhaps. I was not on a bike, but made me feel perhaps I should! Melmbr I resumed cycling last year, during lockdown, it was bliss, free roads. It is a little scary but i act like i am car and am entitled to be on the road, so that i don't cower too much. I have driven for years so i do have strong road sense too.
