We're signing out for Christmas today, and when we're back in January, we’ll be taking a break from Twitter (sorry, X). If sassy-serious-silly posting on health, science, medicine and life is your thing, then follow wellcomecollection on Instagram, Threads, YouTube and TikTok.

You’re trapped on a desert island but can only take one bookshelf from the Wellcome Library to read, which are you packing? (Please don’t take our library books to any desert islands or indeed anywhere) #DesertIslandBookshelves

Bodies can be embarrassing Your nose bleeds. You defecate blood by a tree. You vomit in front of a disappointed-looking pig People have always had these problems: so next time they happen to you, think of these gentle, unselfconscious 17th century Europeans and feel less alone
