Wonderful few days at #ISDE2024 with many fantastic talks. Extra thanks to @ISDE_net for going that extra mile arranging baby-friendly facilities so that I could attend whilst on Mat leave…with my 4 month old in tow!
Isde 2024 has just started in Edinburgh with the welcome address and looks like it’s going to be a fantastic meeting in an amazingly historic city @DOTEsophagus@ISDE_net@LFerri123@smgriffin3

Doctors' pay has been cut in real terms by 30% since 2008.
A new doctor handling emergencies & cardiac arrests earns £9k less than in 2008.
Or £14 an hour.
Yet doctors campaigning for pay restitution are already being smeared in the press as "militants".
Seriously?
Overturning Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. Democrats must now end the filibuster in the Senate, codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.
Universal healthcare and childcare. Gun safety. Combating climate change.
The GOP opposes it all. If they refuse to support life after birth, how can they claim to believe in it before?
Truth is, this is not about life and never has been. It’s about seizing power and control.
The American College of Surgeons has long opposed governmental interference in the clinical practice of medicine and in the privileged physician-patient relationship. (1/3)
Voting is critical but alone it’s not enough. We will need to organize, strike, fill coffers of abortion funds, open our homes to help those seeking safe passage, and more to establish and defend our rights.
People have more power than they realize. It’s time we rediscover it.
“Already, the United States claims the highest rate of maternal and infant mortality among wealthy nations. Should the court overturn Roe v. Wade, these grim statistics will only get worse,” argued a Nature editorial last month https://t.co/tyTMqeAgSs
Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away.
It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized.
People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.
The just-announced U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization represents a stunning reversal of precedent that inserts government into the personal lives and health care of Americans. https://t.co/yB5WRMlXso
Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
Today is a very solemn moment for the United States.
The Supreme Court expressly took away a Constitutional right from the American people that it had already recognized. They simply took it away. That's never been done to a right that is so important to so many Americans.
