The UK is slipping down the international rankings for clinical research: Wellcome's @jarottingen in the Sunday Times thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/a…
The twin crises in the NHS and universities, alongside immigration barriers deterring successful international scientists from coming to the UK, are putting Britain’s position as a world leader in research at risk.

This is a major issue in the UK we need a focus on research in the NHS rather than it being a "nice extra". Not only could it improve outcomes for patients but it also will result in cost savings if we can attract commercial studies
🚨 Patients are missing out on blockbuster drugs because the overstretched NHS is struggling to carry out clinical trials, the new head of @wellcometrust tells me and @Ben_Spencer

This is v positive news - something Wellcome and other science organisations called for to help unlock investment and boost research in the UK
Cumbersome planning processes that are stacked against success are in large part responsible for the laboratory shortage in the UK, says Wellcome's @martinrsmith
"Deliberate efforts within the auto industry shifted the blame for traffic deaths to children and their parents"
I’m hoping this piece will help clear up some misconceptions about the loss of children’s freedom to roam the streets around their homes. First, it did not begin in the 1980s/90s, but much earlier when cars first emerged on city roads in large numbers.

UK expensive visas - latest evidence:
- Cancer Research UK is expecting to spend £700k on visa costs each year - the equivalent cost of 17 new CRUK PhD students
- Cambridge cancer institute being outcompeted for specialists by institutes in Germany, due to costs

There is a lot happening in the news these days, but it seems like we should be paying a bit more attention to the fact that the world just saw its hottest day on record (in absolute terms), coming on the back of 13 straight record setting months:
Spot on from @stephenkb – the government needs to clear obstacles from the path for industries the UK has existing strategic strengths in, such as life sciences ft.com/content/38be49e0-91eb…
More on what the government can do to boost science here, but in short: planning reform, visa costs, HE funding, support for clinical trials and for research in the NHS wellcome.org/what-we-do/poli…

New from Wellcome/BBC/Sport England: Extreme weather conditions including rain, flooding and heat have forced 1 in 3 grassroots sports participants to change their routines.
"These extreme weather patterns are going to affect more and more aspects of our lives, from the things we love to do, such as sport, to the things we simply must do, such as farming."
With 2 in 3 grassroots participants saying the sport industry should do more to highlight climate change, there is widespread support for professional athletes speaking out on the issue bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cv2…
