Well that’s something to be proud of. QMUL is the top English university for student social mobility. Think of all those people with new opportunities. Wonderful.
🚨 The top 20 universities for social mobility in England 🚨
Our research with @TheIFS calculated a ‘mobility score’ for every university in the country, based on how many disadvantaged students get in, and how well they do after graduation ⬇️

Today we have announced an unprecedented series of measures to tackle social inequalities exacerbated by the #COVID19 pandemic qmul.ac.uk/media/news/2020/p…
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our ability to continue funding life saving research is under threat.
Today, over 50 MPs have written to the Chancellor calling for urgent Government support for medical research charities. bit.ly/39agAXg
Interesting study from collaborators at Imperial College on bioRxiv. It's not only ACE2. Perhaps BSG is important for the interaction of COVID-19 with endothelial cells, and gives some explanation for increase disease severity with age.
Our report of major arterial thrombosis as presenting features of #COVID19 is out in British J Haematology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…@BritSocHaem @ThromboCOVID
A small addition to the growing evidence of #thrombosis in SARS-CoV-2 infection
@blizard_inst Professor of Surgery & @NHSBartsHealth Consultant Surgeon Charles Knowles has recorded a ballad in memory of NHS and other key workers to raise money for those caring for #COVID19 patients. Listen here: bit.ly/35e9qiJ. See thread for info on how to donate.
Very pleased to have this work with a great group of collaborators published in @CircRes. We show that actually as you get older there's really no change in platelet reactivity - so increase in heart attacks and strokes with age might well not be an inevitability. Keep fit!
And, just like London buses, you wait 4 years for each of them and 2 come along at once… I’m very proud of this shiny new paper in @CircRes supported by @TheBHF: ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1… (1/3)
Has also made me ponder about coagulopathy, and COVID-19, and increased risk with age. Not associated to a change in platelet function linked to age? Other explanations? Endothelial cell fragility? Changes in coagulation cascade?

Lots of mounting evidence of coagulopathy associated to lung damage in COVID-19 and rational reasons for clinical trials using available drugs, such as suggested here.
