Ambulance workplace culture needs to change
Commenting on the findings of the independent review of the culture in ambulance services published today (Thursday), UNISON acting head of health Helga Pile said:
“All too often ambulance workers are expected to be superhuman and put up with whatever is thrown at them.
“But the reality is that there’s a huge personal cost if employees are mistreated at work. Stress and burnout are rife, which prompts experienced staff to leave, worsening the situation for the colleagues they leave behind and the public.
“Trusts mustn’t lose sight of the way staff are treated, even at times of huge pressure on the service.

Two Broods of More Than a Trillion Cicadas Will Emerge in the U.S. This Year
More than a trillion cicadas will be coming to the U.S. in an event that has not happened since Thomas Jefferson was U.S. president in 1803.

‘Lobster eye’ in space promises new look at x-rays
China last week launched an x-ray observatory with an unusual telescope inspired by the structure of lobster eyes to gather new data on gamma ray bursts, supernovae, and stars being swallowed by black holes.

What We Lose When We Can ’ t Stargaze
I once met a physics graduate student at a cosmology school (I’ll call him Max) who, until his late 20s had believed that you could only see the stars with a telescope. Max had grown up in New York City, where the twilight of artificially lit nights dissolved the firmament. When he discovered the “permanent presence of the sublime,” as poet Ralph Waldo Emerson described it in his 1836 essay “Nature,” patiently awaiting on a clear, dark night, he was mesmerized.
