Dual nationals to be denied entry to UK from 25 February unless they have British passport New border controls require ‘certificate of entitlement’ to attach to second nationality passport that costs £589

1/ Fortunately, as someone who travels on an Irish passport, I'm (so far) exempt from this ludicrously high charge. But worth reflecting on why so many of us, with dual nationality, chose not to use our UK one.

A group of Cambridge scientists stand together in a laboratory, smiling at the camera. One person holds a book titled ‘Self-Doubt’. A text banner reads: ‘Cambridge scientists share the truth behind their successes and reflect on the power of failure.’

What does it take to succeed in science? Failure.

Cambridge scientists from @labliston.bsky.social share the self-doubt behind their careers.

Self-Doubt by Adrian Liston from @stcatharines.bsky.social and the Department of Pathology is Out tomorrow 👇

The short cuts to lost potential We know how it goes – a day spent reacting to other people’s emails or “quick chats” while our own to do list remains untouched at the end. Or losing ourselves in the first item on our list...

In this week’s Science Without Anguish:

‘Short cuts to lost potential’.

How confusing the simplifications we make to understand the world with the real thing can lead us astray.

Putting women’s health in the spotlight Cambridge researchers are working to undo a longstanding male bias in health research, to help drive more effective healthcare for all.

Why is a woman 50% more likely than a man to get the wrong initial diagnosis for a heart attack?

For centuries, women were excluded from health research – fluctuating #hormones believed to complicate results.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

Validated does not mean it works as intended. It means someone has evaluated it (and may have concluded it doesn’t work at all)
