Not organising/hosting, but pleased to see @KingsCollegeLon supporting women in #STEM. Decades ago, but I remember when my school was still all girls and became an engineering status school. @NewsteadWood some great events/talks here:

The notion that the NHS waiting list crisis is due to Covid is clearly incorrect. Almost 5 million people were waiting for treatment BEFORE Covid came into our lives. Please don’t let the Government spin their way out of the mess they have created.

This should read: “NHS spends £3 per head as a ‘thank you’ despite many staff not having access to changing facilities, staff rooms or time for a break.”
