Lancet Oncology reporting on the establishment of the Children and Young People Cancer Taskforce. Hopefully in future the taskforce can also examine the psychosocial issues faced by young adults. These issues are as crucial in improving the experiences of young people with cancer
This news is a blow to cancer research in the UK and the researchers and organisations driving forward progress for people with cancer. Fragmentation also risks progress for smaller groups of cancers - like young people with cancer who are too often lost in the gaps.
With one ultimate aim—improving global health—it should follow that agendas for #UHC, health security, and health promotion are aligned. Instead, they suffer from fragmentation.
A new Lancet Commission outlines a healthier path forward: one of synergy. https://t.co/6KRMCrl2J8
#TYAs with cancer have unique needs and require specific treatments and different research 🤍
There is very little research that focuses just on young people – but we are working hard to change that 💪

So incredibly sad, my heart goes out to the Patel family. This demonstrates the importance of research and funding into YA cancers. Also devastating to see she was an @edgehill student like me. Hoping the university can celebrate and commemorate her life ❤️
The amazing Patel family have shown such courage in sharing beautiful Jenna's tragic story. The trainee primary school teacher lost her battle against a rare cancer months after she turned 21. Please support @CR_UK. Thanks for support @asianimage. https://t.co/YSJiSoGQ5o
@Warsaurus I’m in the same boat as you Rachel. I didn’t expect it to feel so sad and empty feeling. We’ll persevere, I’m sure you’re doing amazingly ⭐️
I'm advertising a Graduate Teaching Assistant PhD studentship in Health Psychology & Cancer Survivorship @EdgeHill_Psych. Please share with any ECRs/recent psychology graduates who might be interested: https://t.co/5tDtBGEcNd. Closing date for applications: 29th Sept
NERC just sent an email out recognising that the cost of living increase means its PhD stipend isn't sufficient to live on.
Their solution isn't to increase it, it's to suggest students start selling Avon and sign up to clinical trials...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just reversed nearly 50 years of precedent and overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the federal constitutional right to abortion.
We won't deny what a horrible moment this is.
Half of the states are expected to ban abortion.
