The author of one, Rowan Ellis, said she could "understand" that decision, but the removal of the poster was a "red flag".Stonewall's gay rights poster remains in the exhibition, but its equivalent trans rights poster has been removed "It's not controversial," she said. "It is a simple poster that says that trans people exist and if that is going to be removed, then how can we expect to have the type of inclusion the V&A says it stands for?The V&A has confirmed that while the transgender poster produced by the LGBTQ+ rights organisation Stonewall was removed, the charity's equivalent gay poster remains part of the display.
However, it said it had received no response to repeated letters and no changes had been made following a recent meeting with museum managers.

Investigating Cardiovascular Activation of Young Adults in Routine DrivingWe report on a naturalistic study investigating the effects of routine driving on cardiovascular activation. We recruited 21 healthy young adults from a broad geographic area in the Southwestern United States. Using the participants' own smartphones and smartwatches, we monitored for a week both their driving and non-driving activities. Monitoring included the continuous recording of a) heart rate throughout the day, b) hand motion during driving as a proxy of persistent texting, and c) contextualized driving data, complete with traffic and weather information. These high temporal resolution variables were complemented with the drivers' biographic and psychometric profiles. Our analysis suggests that anxiety predisposition and high speeds are associated with significant cardiovascular activation on drivers, likely linked to sympathetic arousal. Surprisingly, these associations hold true under good weather, normal traffic, and with experienced drivers behind the wheel. The said findings call for attention to insidious effects of apparently benign drives even for people in their prime. Accordingly, our research contributes to intriguing new discourses on driving affect and personal health informatics.
