How do we talk about overdiagnosis of mental health conditions without dismissing people’s suffering? On 16 March the health and social care secretary, Wes Streeting, made headlines by declaring in an interview that there was an β€œoverdiagnosis” of mental health conditions. The comment was made in the ...

Are you highlighting #OpenScience activities in your CV, or know someone who does? I am looking for examples to include (of course in anonymized form) as examples in a book chapter. For example, I once came across a CV with small open science badges and would love to include this!

#Funding panels always remind me how much time and expertise goes into reviewing applications made to @cancerresearchuk.org.

I'm currently sitting in a meeting of 20+ experts reviewing a range of applications from researchers at varied career stages.

#Science at its best.

Delighted to see this announcement about Cancer Data Driven Detection (CD3).

I'm leading a work package looking at how we can work with patients/public to develop risk prediction models/tools & how we talk about cancer risks in our communities.

Amazing to spend the day talking about how best to study uncertainty and anxiety with 29 people with lived experience at the @mrccbu.bsky.social.

So important to hear from real people when planning big research projects and it's super to see funders wanting this @wellcometrust.bsky.social ❀️
