[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Now more than ever, we must stand up for the core liberal values of equality, democracy, human rights and the rule of law – at home and around the world.

[Academy of Medical Sciences @acmedsci]

We welcome the Government's recognition of research & innovation in driving economic growth. Protecting R&D budgets, increasing @NIHRresearch investment & funding Horizon Europe participation provides stability for UK medical research to improve lives 👇

@bbcproms @florencemachine @julesbuckley @BBCRadio3 @BBCR1 @BBCiPlayer Was hoping for day promming tickets having tried to buy seats in May - I was 5232nd in the queue... Unsurprisingly they had sold out by the time I got to the front 😞

🧑‍🔬An oldie but a goodie! If you've ever wondered why doing 'basic' (aka discovery/ blue sky) research is worthwhile, watch this excellent video, winner of the

@johntXbX @SDenegri @acmedsci Many of these conversations are likely to be ongoing, so it's definitely something for us to think about in terms of how we might facilitate those conversations and perhaps (re)use some of the exhibition pieces as part of that ☺️

[Rachel Bonnington @RachelCBonn]

@johntXbX @SDenegri @acmedsci Indeed the main factor in scheduling the exhibition when we did was to coincide with a join meeting between the Academy and the US National Academy of Medicine, bringing together future research leaders to explore topics within climate and health.
