Advice to authors on using race/ethnicity @nature: 1. specify the categories used and explain why such classification is needed; 2. explain the methods used to identify people; 3. describe how they controlled for confounding variables, such as SES. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Really honoured to have been part of this event. "Believe the person who is advocating for themselves" is one of the key ways you can support a disabled colleague or student. #AcademicTwitter #Disability @RHUL_SIBE @royalholloway

[NEW] Read our 5 key suggestions for the @DHSCgovuk's new 10-year mental health plan in a blog by @EdBullmore

Mental health is a priority area in our current strategy. More about our work: acmedsci.ac.uk/policy/policy…
ALT Quote from Noah Carey Roberts, young person with lived experience of mental health who contributed to the consultation response that reads: As a young person, I hated talking about mental health to adults. That is why it is important to take a person-centred approach, involving people with lived experience in mental health in the delivery of training for medical staff and the design of services

It happened. The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing states to ban abortion and turning its back on nearly 50 years of precedent, but we’re fighting back. Here’s what you can do to join us.
