The University of Bristol is hoping to change attitudes around grief by opening a new centre.
Wonderful to see this article about the Grief Centre on BBC News Bristol. It features two of our brilliant collaborators, Kat Lyons & Helen Acklam, who share their experiences of grief & how they turned to creativity to understand & process them:

The Catch in Catching Cancer Early
New blood tests promise to detect malignancies before theyβve spread. But proving that these tests actually improve outcomes remains a stubborn challenge.
A radical new test called a βliquid biopsyβ suggests that we might detect cancer through a simple blood draw. For many scientists, it was a transformative leapβbut clinical results so far show it to be less a triumph than a brief reprieve.
