A valuable and interesting day to be apart of. Inspiring to meet so many people working on vital climate related research and a ray of positivity in light of today's news.

This story is one of the most disturbing I've ever covered. It's about how the views of a deeply weird ideological sect affected science, medicine and the media, with devastating impacts on patients. Please read and pass on. This horror has to stop. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed the world's first ovarian cancer vaccine that could wipe the disease out, researchers have said. 🔗 Read more trib.al/MGeukdK
Community note
The tweet is incorrect- as the article itself states, the vaccine is “being developed” and they are still in the very early stages-they haven’t even decided what the vaccine will target yet. Link to the same article to meet the Community Notes requirements: t.co/u991BBczgn
