What a wonderful idea Ed! And thank you so much for selecting that post of mine. It details a tragic case, blighting several women’s lives. I frequently post on sensitive or upsetting issues. But this story really is one I don’t think will ever leave me. I feel dreadfully for the poor women affected.

My blog policy is to write not for profit. I am fortunate enough to be able to fund the blog via my salary as an academic so I don’t have donations. I would, however, be very grateful if you (or anyone else) wanted to donate to http://www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk on my behalf. They are an organisation I am not directly involved with, but who support a cause very close to my heart.

Thank you again for thinking of me, and highlighting this awful case of medical misconduct the media was complicit in.

I’m having a hard time adding to the tip jar since the discover blogs site defaults to the mobile version and there is no link to view the full site, so I can’t see the sidebar on iOS.

Your science writing Tip Jar is one of my favourite things on the internet. Thanks so much for including my post, and providing some needful motivation to write more/better in the New Year.

Particularly nice list, several items I’d not seen before. I was quite happy to jangle the tip jar again this month. Hope others will join me as they can afford.
