Nothing to tackle, raise above it with focus.
Share ideas strategically.
Publish clear ideas.
Walk away from egos.

Careers are built on sustained contributions, not one concept.
The people who keep generating and executing strong ideas almost always outpace the others.

What can I do if my idea has been plagiarized? An early-career scientist’s idea, shared at a poster session, has been published by someone else. What happens now?

This is a constant fear as a new PI trying to establish my research. I'm sure I'm not alone. Would be interesting to know how often this happens and how we can tackle it. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

📢 Yesterday, the Government published the Environmental Improvement Plan, which made several commitments on clear air 📢

With at least 9,000 cardiovascular deaths linked to air pollution annually in the UK, it's crucial progress to improve our air quality continues.

My heart goes out to all those affected by the devastation in South Asia due to Cyclone Ditwah. @girawa.bsky.social partners the Foundation of Goodness are playing a key role in the relief effort in Sri Lanka. Please help if you can, details 👇

📢 NEW from #COP30: 9 countries announce they’ll tackle major sources of black carbon emissions: Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Madagascar, Nigeria, Sri Lanka and Uganda.

A milestone for multilateral action on #SuperPollutantSolutions 👇

I'm attending the NextGen Omics, Spatial & Data 2025 conference starting tomorrow in London. It would be great to connect if you work on single cell multiomics of atherosclerosis and imaging particles/metals.

I'll be chairing (not speaking!) stream 3 on Friday afternoon. #NGOUK2025 #immunosky 🧪

Cautious or Protesting, Foreign Scholars Skip U.S. Conferences As President Donald Trump deploys National Guard troops to American cities and ICE arrests pick up, some international scholars are opting out of U.S. travel.

Foreign Scholars Skip US Conferences

“I don’t agree with the politicization of scientific funding, the destruction of data collection and openness... and I feel like traveling to America at this point is a partial endorsement of what’s going on,” Liston said.

Photo of orange hazy skies with dark orange text box containing key messages from the SoGA 2025 report. - 7.9 million total deaths due to air pollution in 2023. - In 2023, air pollution also contributed to 232 million healthy years of life lost worldwide. - The greatest health burdens continue to be seen in low- and middle-income countries.

What are we seeing in #SoGA2025?

📌 Air pollution remains the 2nd leading risk factor for death worldwide
📌 NCDs account for 86% of deaths attributable to air pollution
📌 626,000 deaths from dementia attributable to air pollution in 2023

"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make" - Jane Goodall

We’re heartbroken to learn that Dr Jane Goodall has passed away, aged 91.

Dr Goodall was one of the true conservation giants of our time. Let’s honour her legacy by choosing to make a difference in the world - by protecting it.

Thank you, Jane, for everything you did for our planet. 💚

🧵How to write and manage your first research budgets

The point of funding is to convert it into quality research. A well-spent research budget should fund the idea it was raised on, plus revision experiments, plus preliminary data for the next grant. So you need to spend, while avoiding waste.

🌍 The Global Climate and Health Summit showed why physiology is central to climate solutions - watch the highlights film here👇👇👇

We are absolutely delighted at the decision the High Court has made, making documents in October’s #Dieselgate class action publicly available due to the high level of public interest in this case.

Thanks to @physoc.bsky.social for organising an inspiring Global Climate and Health Summit. It was a privilege to participate and I look forward to contributing to the development of actions to mitigate against climate change, air pollution and ensure sustainable nutrition. #GCHS2025

Thanks to @london-immuno.bsky.social for allowing me to present my research at the Diversity in Immunology conference #LIG2025. A brilliant meeting with fantastic talks and great research on display. Delighted to have been a part of it, I learned so much. @britsocimm.bsky.social
