This is a saddening thing to see 2024. Not because the Nobel laureates aren’t brilliant, have made breathtaking discoveries. I warmly congratulate them and am in awe. And as a woman the systematic chronic inequality this represents is sometimes hard to carry with grace.

20 years ago, our 500,000 volunteers selflessly donated their biological samples & health data to us. Soon we can apply to add their coded, de-identified GP data to our database so researchers can study the full spectrum of disease 📰 Statement here: https://t.co/eMJIG1S3LS
