Can’t get over this. The *health secretary* is being prescribed courses of antibiotics, only taking a bit of them, then handing out the rest to her mates who don’t have diagnosed bacterial infections. And then seemingly advocating doing this in the paper?

imagine if scientific funding worked more like VC funding - capital for young scientists pursuing high-risk/high-upside hypotheses. instead, the NIH does the opposite - the majority of funding goes to already well-funded 66+ year-old tenured professors pursuing incremental ideas

Oh wow -- Amazon pulls the trigger on brick-and-mortar health care and buys One Medical for $3.9 billion: https://t.co/V7G9DYU8gv

Your main job as a startup founder is to always be learning

[Brandon Brooks @OfficialBBrooks]

I’m a VC because I want to invest in startups that meaningfully advance society.

Our future is being shaped today & unfortunately it seems we’re going backwards in time.

If we aren’t intentional about creating opportunities for all, we will fall.

Don’t outsource your happiness or success to other people’s decisions.

@Lees_Martina Fun fact: we as fire scientists are near-banned from doing any research related to Grenfell. When we ask for any sort of data from companies we get told to go away because it's "a matter of court evidence and court discretion", in case we find something bad I guess.

Second case study in a week of cladding victim selling cheap to cash buyer. Investors piling in & it's going to get worse. Will any existing leaseholders stay put once remediation works are complete or will all 3million-plus cladding victims sell up at the same time?

Nothing says ‘I definitely followed the ministerial code’ like rewriting the entire code shortly before being investigated for breaking it.

[Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings]

Often one is told:

You do not want to meet your heroes. They will disappoint you.

Exactly. That is the point. That is why you want to.

You realise that incredible things are achieved by ordinary people.

They are not Gods, they are like me and you.

'Everything is on hold... we're trapped here'

Homeowner Tom Brothwell says it is "shameful" how residents stuck in potentially dangerous flats they cannot sell have been failed by the government and the construction industry

[Tom Brothwell @tombrothwell]

WATCH: Almost 5 years on from Grenfell, flat owners remain trapped. Some builders are starting to do the right thing. Our developer, Dandara, are yet to sign the pledge. Our lives are on hold. @McrCladiators @SarahCorkerNews #EndOurCladdingScandal @ukcag @LucyMPowell
