I really enjoyed this meeting for the Emerging & Zoonotic Infections Health Protection Research Unit. So much great science, and a fantastic training environment for PhD students and post-doctoral researchers. I feel very fortunate to have been involved, and I'm sure its 3rd iteration will be superb

Let's stop Shein raising cash in London | Good Law Project

Shein: the environment trashing, tax dodging, fast fashion outfit with a *very* troubling supply chain wants to float on the London Stock Exchange.

We're working with Stop Uyghur Genocide and Leigh Day to stop them in the courts. And we'd very much appreciate your support.

Unearthed university investigation found research ethics failings at French medical institute Studies conducted by Didier Raoult and colleagues flouted French and international ethical standards, report concludes

Quand Didier Raoult est dans le journal *Science* ce n'est pas en tant qu'auteur, c'est en tant que sujet de honte de la recherche franΓ§aise.

Absolutely. False hope is the worst of all, and can place a lot of strain on relationships with healthcare

This can be very variable between people. It can be a bit harsh to crush all hope immediately, just as it is to introduce false hope. Simplest is just to ask how far the patient wants to go in any given consultation. Delivering bad news can be a process, not a single event.

Today, we conducted a simulation admitting a person with mpox into our Emergency Department & then critical care. Royal Liverpool Hospital is one of a handful of hospitals designated to look after people with Highly Infectious Diseases, like mpox, & it's important to regularly test our readiness.
