Children in London and northern England have the worst rates of dental decay and tooth extractions.
Access to NHS #dentists is in short supply and this is having a big impact on some of the most vulnerable children.
Read @stutibagri.bsky.social's analysis: www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/resource/is-...
🚨 NEW: Labour is lifting 100,000 children out of poverty by expanding access to free school meals.
Alongside free breakfast clubs, cheaper uniform costs and government-funded childcare, Labour is putting money in parents’ pockets and giving children the best start in life.
We have had the perfect example this last weekend of why we urgently need to update how we regulate media.
The Guardian headline: Government drops health push after ultra-processed food firm lobbying.
Loads of Labour bashing results.
Yet paragraph 8 tells it happened 2yrs ago under the Tories.
A UKRI Policy Fellowship is available with my employer, The Environment Agency. It is to look at applying social and behavioural science to increase natural hazard resilience in diverse communities.
Might be of interest to the #EGU25 science-policy community.

I know there's a lot happening but this week several grenades were thrown to decimate domestic HIV treatment and prevention research. I know more colleagues with canceled grants than not.
Our patients will die or get worse care as a direct result.

They can’t fire science! Tell your story: http://bit.ly/faces_of_science
Are you or someone you know:
A recently dismissed federal scientist?
Doing science-related work affected by the mass firings and defunding of science?
“You Can’t Fire Science” is a project to illustrate and share those stories: bit.ly/faces_of_sci...
A good follow up to #StandUpForScience!
When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?
Sharing an important discussion, it looks as though there were very few MPs present for this one, I wonder why?

Among the many fights Trump/Musk are picking the most serious one is the one with reality. It's impossible to win this one 🧪🌎

Kids are dying of measles. Egg prices are skyrocketing. Bird flu is out of control. Planes are falling out of the sky. Inflation is rising. Tariffs are coming. Consumer confidence is collapsing. A recession is now likely. The stock market is dropping.
Donald Trump is golfing.
The image is a collage (made by me with photos in the public domain, found online ) that includes nine female scientists, who have played a fundamental role in the history of nuclear physics.
"The Dawn of Nuclear Physics: The Role of Women" is an article of mine where I tried to provide a historical context to the fundamental role some female scientists have had in the early stages of nuclear physics and its history.
