Hardback copy of Matthew Cobb’s “Crick: A mind in motion – from DNA to the brain” lying on a wooden table. The word Crick appears in large yellow type on the spine and the cover. A pair of glasses sits atop the book.

First of my #BooksOf2026 and it’s a cracker. Or should I say a ‘Cricker’! @matthewcobb.bsky.social’s biography of Francis Crick is a propulsive and compelling portrait of a complex figure who towered over 20th century biology. Brims with insight. A superlative achievement.

You can upgrade your immune system, but not in the way you think From vitamin C to your microbiome and mindset, the latest science of immunity is often counterintuitive. Here's how to give your system a fighting chance to overcome infection

Is it true that… you should take vitamin C when you’ve got a cold? The vitamin has many benefits, but research shows that people who take it are just as likely to get the sniffles as those who don’t
