LJ is working towards a happier, more equal world Hi! I spend a lot of my time doing things for free which I really care about. I write blogs, articles and letters, I strategise, protest and volunteer. And I also provide free education and resources.

If you've enjoyed #RespMas, & our weekly free #RespEd #SCE style quiz questions throughout the year, please make a small donation to a good cause! Go on, I'll really appreciate it, & you can walk around with a warm glow all week! buymeacoffee.com/drlj

That's it! We hope you enjoyed our #RespMas #advent calendar. If you read a paper a day along with us, you are now a Respiratory guru! Go, share your knowledge: detect eosinophils from afar; sense FEV1 by merely hearing a breath; discern septated effusions through your fingertips! #RespIsBest
