Thank you Ichiro Kawachi for an insightful and thoughtful book review. We owe much to you.

@sjmmcd Think about your own resources, psychosocial, educational, etc

[Eric Brunner @EricJohnBrunner]

@sjmmcd Sam, you seem to be ignoring the 'experimental' evidence that UBI doesn't work well in practice, as a means to provide disadvantaged families with the resources to climb out of disadvantage. It also seems logical that <resources> are not equivalent to income/money.

Was milk-calcium-low colon cancer a prior hypothesis ? I bet *no*.

[george davey smith @mendel_random]

@DJHunter_EPI I agree the milk / CRC story is interesting, but one problem with the story-a-day situation is such get lost in a sea of noise

Oppenheimer lied to you.

He wasn't the hero who saved the Manhattan Project.

When his reactor was failing, he needed a Chinese woman to prevent nuclear disaster––that he later erased from history.

Here's the true story of physics' greatest cover-up:

More than 10 years on from Dilnott, England still lacks equity in social care.

[Cyril Lobont @cglobont]

We know the number of people living with dementia in England is growing. How ready is social care to guarantee quality, personalised care for all of them?

New report, by @CamilleOung @NatashaCurry123 and I, looks at what action is needed where to better prepare the system.

[Eric Brunner @EricJohnBrunner]

Great news that social epidemiology will continue to document the life course linkages between inequalities and health

Super excited to be Co-Directing this new @ESRC Centre for Lifecourse Health Equity with @Yvonne JKelly building on our decades of impactful lifecourse research @icls_info @EPHDept

Daily Mail 'discovers' asbestos in schools now Labour in government. APPG on Occupational Health & Safety published their report on this major problem in 2012. It was discussed in Select Committee in 2013. Mesothlioma deaths that follow are due to austerity and callous politics.

[Gill Livingston @Gill_Livingston]

@Yun_tao_Chen fabulous poster on air pollution and dementia @FondazionePrada @UCLPsychiatry

[Gill Livingston @Gill_Livingston]

@atsommerlad talking in @FondazionePrada conference about social participation and risk of dementia, cause and effect. He talks about being bidirectional. @UCLPsychiatry

@gavinesler Two reasons Musk referred to killing Kamala.
1. Loads of hits and ++ commercial value
2. Musk supports Trump because Trump's tax policies would favour the super rich - maybe also Musk wants bitcoin to mainstream. But Musk knows Trump"s a jerk so he's reduced to attacking Dems.

[The Food Foundation @Food_Foundation]

⚠️ People facing food insecurity are more than twice as likely to be living with a mental health condition.

Our latest report finds families across the UK are stuck in a cycle of poverty, food insecurity and poor mental health - with children particularly affected.

Fascinating interview by @ClareHLlewellyn on @BBCr4today on kids’ eating habits & role of genes. Lots of tips for social workers on assessment of parenting capacity in this area. Helpful for @BASW_UK members!

@mendel_random @westwoodsam1 Interesting session on Eysenck on Monday. I had no idea he was a mega-f*ckwit until now.

[Eric Brunner @EricJohnBrunner]

Online option for this interesting session is invisible!

[george davey smith @mendel_random]

Tony Pelosi has spent 32 yrs revealing the spurious "findings" of a most cited scientist of 20th-C. Over the last 5 years some papers have been retracted, but more should follow. On 22nd July he'll talk on this; registration https://t.co/xlg67Zn6MG in person or online /cont
