I'm confused. So she did receive a letter or email with that wording and the only issue is that it wasn't made up from cut-out letters?

Thanks, Cheshire. How do we know it's not true?

Can anyone bear to transcribe that bit? I'm hugely surprised that she would actually claim that Sunday Times mock-up for herself, if it wasn't addressed to her, and seems so clearly to have been addressed to a man. I'm wondering if she used ambiguous phrasing or something.

Interesting - do you live in the UK, @Jan, if you don't mind me asking? I'm wondering how you survive with such a low-tog duvet! I'm a huge fan of bamboo socks - can't go back to cotton now.

I just spoke to someone in John Lewis who wasn't able to provide weight info (i.e. kg weights) but recommended as probably their lightest synthetic the 'breathable microfibre' range. I see that people are raving about them in the reviews and saying they're very good for keeping you the right...

I've just been reading that a study is about to be published showing that people sleep better in wool bedding (wool duvets are now a thing). Only 8 participants and who knows, maybe funded by the Wool Marketing Board. I was intrigued, though, and then remembered that my home has carpet moths...

The different fillings seem to have different weights - hollowfibre, microfibre, down, feather, etc. I think I'll phone John Lewis for advice! They might even know what their stuff weighs.

Thanks - really looking for numbers, though, so that I know what I'm buying.

Thanks, @Valentijn, but my question isn't how to find a 2-part duvet - there are millions of them, and I've already got one anyway - it's how to find one that's genuinely lightweight. I'm looking for how many kg or kg/m2, so I can compare. I wish there was a site that already did this.

I don't think it's necessarily circular, but it may be dynamic. It may converge on something. I'd be curious to know what Dr Segal thinks about this. I suspect it may be hard to determine computionally but the proof of the pudding (no pun intended) would be on the clinical response (in terms of...

One question I have is that your response to certain foods presumably depends on your current microbiome but if you alter your diet to the foods that spike your blood sugar less, then presumably your microbiome changes in response. Does the new microbiome cause different foods to spike your...

Thanks - interesting agenda.

I'm looking for a (preferably) two-part (9 + 4.5 tog) duvet that's genuinely lightweight. I'm pretty debilitated and my muscles are wasted so trying to cope with my current ten-ton one is becoming a problem. If I search on 'lightweight duvet' on Amazon, say, it comes up with plenty but I don't...

Hadn't been aware of this: I believe this is 7pm UK time.

From yesterday's panel discussion, which included Ron Davis:

A four-day event started yesterday at Stanford, held in conjunction with the EBML (the very impressive-sounding European Molecular Biology Laboratory: 'Europe’s flagship laboratory for the life sciences – an intergovernmental organisation with more than 80 independent research groups covering...

It's my hope that the forums will become established as a place for researchers to visit and see their work being discussed. Perhaps Dr Segal might come along one day and join in. The forums will become more widely known soon and I hope that more researchers might join generally. I think...
