.@NRS_NDN recognises that the people who participate in research trials are not typically representative, and in-person rural engagement sessions can help to address the need for greater diversity in research.

🟣 | Our Craiglockhart campus is glowing purple tonight in support of #HPVAwareness.

Today saw the International Papillomavirus Conference take place in Edinburgh, with #EdNapier academic @MaloneEM involved with the development and delivery of legacy activities associated with the event.

Evidence shows the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine helps protect people from HPV-related cancers. This vaccine is currently offered to every S1 pupil in Scotland.

We have given up on languages in Britain. One of the consequences of this is that people think once routine competence in another European language is awe-inspiring. I’m sure this reporter is great. But you don’t need to be a genius to speak other European languages.

Really good talk by@PeterHillenand@heyman_ingalast night from@EdinburghNapier on the roll out of Naloxone to police in an effort to reduce the deaths among people who use drugs in Scotland.

You can get a nasal applicator for the drug for free here: https://t.co/5vk7tX26iQ

[Dawn Smith @dsmith_edi]

Great to be back at @edskeptics last night, with a great talk from @PeterHillen and @heyman_inga about the use of naloxene by @PoliceScotland. In a week that has felt dark it was good to focus on a positive intervention and how research can make a difference in our communities.

If the rumours are right and the UK, almost unilaterally given current global trends, cuts R&D funding at this critical moment, we're going to drift even further behind in economic growth, soft power, education, science, research, engineering, you name it .....
