“Brian Cox”. As I’m doing a lot of work illustrating #science & medicine at the moment, I thought I’d do a #scicomms based #portrait

A bonus episode of @ThePodgoblin with @gourenina, Dave (me) and our guest @HelenZaltzman is out!
This is a Christmas-adjascent bonus because I just can’t stop making Christmas specials (it’s a problem, or a feature, or a bug).

In my line of work, I'm so often struck by the major disconnect between what the latest #science tells us about the causes of #type2diabetes & what most people believe
I'm convinced that closing this knowledge gap is essential for tackling #diabetes #stigma & the harm it brings

So since #AssistedDying is very topical due to #AssistedDyingBill I thought I’d share this episode of @SunlessPod which is about the issue: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…
