Things for the family
You are just 30 cm tall, don't know the alphabet and have a really sore tummy....who do you go to?  Teddy Bear Hospital of course!
This Saturday, student doctors and dentists will be welcoming children and their families to the Teddy Bear Hospital in Barker's Pool. Children and their bears will have the opportunity for a one to one consultation with a teddy bear doctor which will include an "MRI scan", a look at an x-ray, having teddy bandaged and getting advice on how to stay healthy. Teddy bear dentists will also be on hand for top tips on dental health.
Teddy Bear Hospital is a Sheffield Students' Union Society which aims to reduce anxiety in children about medical treatment as well as promoting child health.

Things in the news
You may have heard on the news today about a possible breakthrough for a vaccine against malaria. Read the scientific abstract here 

If you ever hear a news story on a health or science issue and want to know what it is really about then the NHS Behind the headlines is a good place to start. It will give a summary of what the science/research is, the possible significance and a link to the reference that generated the news.

Things Greek
Keeping the archaeology theme Sarah is just back from a week in Greece - staying with an archaeologist friend who worked here in the Illingworth library some years ago. So I thought we should have a Greek recipe this week and Sarah has suggested 'Rooster in wine and tomato sauce' or Kokoras Krasatos .....find the recipe here
