I lead research on NHS workforce, medical education and health inequalities. Academic, northern, gritty. Often found on the coast.

As someone who grew up in Denton, I cannot tell you how much I'm fuming about the news coverage as a whole. I'm sure you can empathise, given how much nonsense gets written about Bradford.

It is quite a nice quirk of history.

Doesn't everyone have a known as field nowadays? I certainly need it in my life, given that I don't use my full first name.

Oof. That's tough. Sending all my love to you, Mr W & Little W.

Every time I put kale on a pizza, I think of you rolling your eyes in despair. So I'm staying.

You can also spell Belgium correctly. AI not very good at getting lines in letters in the right places.

β€˜Once a doctor has been employed in the same specialty by the same trust for more than two years, they should be moved to a nationally negotiated SAS contract.’

This has reminded me how amazing your wedding shirt was. Don't give up and become a beige man.

I have no problem with this.

I know you're 39, but this is no reason to become a reiss beige person.

You are not a beige person, IMHO.

These are absolutely amazing.

Eight years! Feels like yesterday, you youthful 39 year olds, you.

Hello! I will be there tomorrow, catch you then?

Academia may not give you job security, flexibility, or wealth, but it will let you unexpectedly connect to eduroam in foreign cities

Ah Rob, just catching up after being away. I'm sorry for your loss. Take care now.

As might be expected, to be fair.

Oh, I have views on this.

I do not have the relevant Xkcd to hand, but I think of it often in these situations.

I can't like this news enough. So super pleased for you both.

Oh. My. Amazing responsibility! You'll be fine.

I quite like the sound of INVENTY.

Mainly by chance. Possibly opportunity. Easy proximity to London without having to be too near helps?

I did three years in Leicester. It's character building to be so far south.

Oh gosh, I forgot you're an honorary. In that case, welcome back to the north.

Yesterday afternoon, scientists across Harvard Chan School learned the government had abruptly terminated their research.
Nearly every single one of the school's direct federal grants was terminated.

Yesterday afternoon, scientists across Harvard Chan School learned the government had abruptly terminated their research. Nearly every single one of the school's direct federal grants was terminated. 132 100 173 HARVARD T.H. CHAN SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH

From @hsph.harvard.edu on Instagram. In FY 25, 46% of the school's budget came from federal grants.

Thinking of the many friends I have at Harvard Chan right now who just want to do work that will make the world healthier.
