A report co-led by @EssexIPHW researchers has revealed that millions of deaths from heart disease could be prevented if governments introduce legislation to tackle air pollution.

The report was launched at the @worldheartfed World Heart Summit.

@hrhbixby @acmedsci @EssexIPHW @uni_essexhealth @Uni_of_Essex It is a very inspiring news. Congrats, Honor.

@PWGTennant Totally. That is why I see an US PI more like a boss who comes to lead the team, while an UK PI is more like an independent director who comes to supervise the team.

[Dr. Ruoyu George Wang @GeorgeRWONG]

@PWGTennant 4) The flexibility of using UKRI funding is not the same as NSF (which can be used to recruit PhD students and cover your salary on holiday).

[Dr. Ruoyu George Wang @GeorgeRWONG]

@PWGTennant I think there are several explanations for that. 1) Senior lecturers in the UK are paid the same as a post-doc in the US 2) In the UK, it usually takes 3 to 4 years to finish a PhD degree, while it usually takes 6 to 8 years in the US.

[Dr. Ruoyu George Wang @GeorgeRWONG]

@PWGTennant Also, even if you get funding to recruit PhD students, you still cannot be the principal supervisor due to lack of supervision experience (not to say most of the lecturers may still have not got their postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE)).

[Dr. Ruoyu George Wang @GeorgeRWONG]

@PWGTennant 3) In the US, the assistant professor basically can recruit PhD students and post-docs right after being appointed as an assistant professor with funding support from the University. However, in the UK, you rarely get support from the University to recruit post-docs.

[Dr. Ruoyu George Wang @GeorgeRWONG]

@PWGTennant Therefore, when evaluating someone’s work after PhD in the UK, I think it is fairer to consider such a difference.
