My @The_MRC @GCRF FACE-UP project has finally launched! Kick-off meeting this week. Sadly, 5/7 visas didn’t arrive so it’s hybrid but great to have some of us together! More soon …

#Nepal is suffering badly from another big wave of #COVID19, recording some 9,000 cases a day & with around 40% of tests being positive. Nepal is a Least Developed Country with a low capacity health system. It badly needs support, including vaccine supply: https://t.co/92YFxQnMiM

[Mme. Sara Beysolow Nyanti @NyantiSara]

Is the world listening?

With the highest case positivity rate in the world, the data is also speaking.

Send vaccines to Nepal now!

Glorious video of the #IcelandEruption. Such stark contrast to the volcanic crisis on #StVincent. I keep flicking back to Iceland when I need to take a deep breath and chill a little. Then back to #LaSoufriereEruption to think how I can best help & advise.

Health is a basic & fundamental human right and the #COVID19 pandemic has accentuated the gap in accessible healthcare across the world.

Air pollution has shot up across #Nepal🇳🇵again at alarming level! Use mask taking special care of children & the elderly to escape its impact. Air pollution is the largest single environmental health crisis we face. Don't ignore it! @WHONepal @UNDPNepal👉https://t.co/O07PL4MGcC

[Bhavin Pradhan @bhavinpradhan]

Why is no one talking about the level of air pollution in Kathmandu today?

The Lords Science & Technology Committee (@LordsSTCom) have written to @10DowningStreet & @RishiSunak and have referenced our open letter (https://t.co/rAo7R1Q5mJ) which you can still sign! We are having an impact! Let's keep on fighting these #odacuts #UKRIcuts!!

Air pollution is damaging children’s lungs and brains in cities across the world.

To protect children’s health, we’re urging governments and businesses to take urgent #ClimateAction.

Greatest city in the UK, you say:

#Glasgow came first for "openness, tolerance and trust" and "cultural participation and attractiveness."

Glasgow named cultural and creative 'centre' of UK https://t.co/Jce3HyFpuV
