Dr. Frances Kelsey was a trailblazing physician and pharmacologist whose work made FDA history. Proud to see this episode of Lost Women of Science shine light on her legacy and the tragedy she courageously prevented. https://t.co/jHGSC4o6dk

So pleased to share my debut season working on the Lost Women of Science podcast!

[Lost Women of Science @LostWomenofSci]

New season alert! Chapter One introduces us to our hero, Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey. We join her as a particularly dense New Drug Application lands on her desk. The drug is thalidomide and if she approves it, the results will be catastrophic. https://t.co/GmQp3BQBMX

NEW EPISODE! What IF we didn’t have a cohort of struggling students?

@lilywhear tells us her experience of interviewing students camping outside estate agents overnight just to get a house.

Listen here to our Editor-in-Chief @lilywhear and News Editor @katieheckels1 talking on the @inter_gen podcast about the Durham student housing crisis, following on from our reporting of what’s really going on with Durham students and the rental market

[Lily @lilywhear]

Thank you to @alisaanwar27 for having me and @katieheckels1 on the @inter_gen podcast to talk about the student housing crisis in Durham. Alongside talking with @wesstreeting on @LBC last week, it’s great to see how far our reporting on the housing crisis is spreading

What IF we didn’t have a cohort of struggling students?

University is expensive. How are students navigating this alongside the cost of living crisis when they have been largely forgotten?

The student housing crisis has been in the news this week. Many students are struggling as their living costs surpass the amount of money they receive in maintenance loans. Many thanks to @alisaanwar27 for producing and @lilywhear @katieheckels1 for their invaluable contributions

@liv_eren @wesstreeting @LBCNews @guardian Thanks Liv for the kind words, we’re in this together!

[Lily @lilywhear]

Hi @wesstreeting it was great to talk to you today on @LBCNews about the student housing crisis. The @guardian may have only just started talking about it, but here’s the piece we broke over two months ago!

[The Tab Durham @TheTabDurham]

https://t.co/umJjtgDUbU Last night Durham students slept on the street to sign a house for next year. Some went straight from clubbing at 2am, whilst others brought their laptops to do work. This comes amidst rent increases and a housing shortage @lilywhear @katieheckels1

[The Tab Durham @TheTabDurham]

Catch up on our Editor-in-Chief @lilywhear’s conversation with Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care @wesstreeting about the student housing crisis on @LBC at around 12.25pm today. An informative and poignant conversation about rent hikes and the effect on students

[Lily @lilywhear]

All in all, yes, the housing crisis is very bad and at this rate, there simply won’t be sufficient space for all Durham students to live in future. Thank you @wesstreeting for taking the time to talk to me today on @LBC and shining some light on what’s been going on in Durham

[Lily @lilywhear]

As you said on the show @wesstreeting, Durham has a reputation of being an affluent uni, but the constant expansion puts irresponsible strain on the city and its housing market. The quality of teaching & facilities are depleted from too high an intake & all students are suffering

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

The @nytimes published this puzzle on the first day of Hanukkah.

[Lily @lilywhear]

For the investigation into this story, I spoke to the student who said she had no idea what to do as she says they were “deliberately trying to intimidate” her & she felt like they were “playing a game” with her to assert their dominance

[The Tab Durham @TheTabDurham]

https://t.co/FnrKXovMv3 The Tab Durham has seen a police statement that Jimmy Allen’s nightclub is under investigation after a bouncer allegedly told a female student: “You better have a rape alarm on you, because it’s going to be either you or me screaming this evening”

We’ve been working on this story for a while & it doesn’t get any easier to read. All Durham Uni students deserve to be able to live in Durham & have the full uni experience. We did the same application, achieved the same grades for our courses. No one should have to drop out.

[The Tab Durham @TheTabDurham]

https://t.co/LfA4db0HRn In collaboration with @93clubdurham, testimonies from working class students in Durham reveal the true extent of the housing crisis. Shockingly, students are dropping out, deferring & simply cannot afford to live in Durham
