My Mother's post-natal depression led to chaotic life of drink, drugs, divorce and ultimately, when I was nine years old, her death. I have spoken about this to the podcast "Past Imperfect" with Alice Thomson and Rachel Sylvester in The Times. 1/4.

Great step towards earlier detection and treatment by NHS. #HealthNation.
New tech is cutting delays and improving care for millions of NHS cancer patients. @dranishapatel1 explains how Cancer 360 will bring together data so clinicians can see patients quicker, track progress and reduce waiting times. Find out more:.

I hope they go after the supply chain. * The hyper-scale data centers.* The AI stack.* The broadband providers.* The advertising engine. And all the other hypocritical tech companies that enable and profit from this frightful trade. I bet some big names listed in their Xero.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Multiple lawsuits have been filed against several porn sites for allegedly breaching Kansas' age verification law. These groundbreaking lawsuits are the first filed in the U.S. that challenge alleged violators of age verification laws. Read more:

Isn’t this the “Jedi Syndrome”. Also called the “Boaty McBoatface Phenomenon”. It demonstrates a treasured national characteristic about the Brits. “When asked a silly question, a certain segment of British society will go out of their way to give a silly answer.”. Makes me.
🌕👀Was surprised recently in a conversation by how many people were sceptical about the moon landings. Anyway having now polled it; turns out while scepticism isn’t the default, about 1 in 5 Brits (and even more young people) think it’s probable the landings were faked by NASA.

Huge thanks to my friend @chefjoseandres for all his team have done in conflict zones around the world. His update at @MilkenInstitute earlier this week was heartbreaking.
After serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza. #ChefsForGaza (1/5)

The shockwaves of the White House research funding revolution are being felt around the world. Crisis will reveal opportunities. I’m optimistic. But even though I’m sitting at @MilkenInstitute in LA right now, it’s tricky to see where that’ll be.
The US National Institutes of Health will no longer approve research grants that involve “subawards” to foreign researchers, potentially spelling an end to the type of international multicentre studies that have delivered breakthroughs in many diseases.

Great to drive around LA in a robot cab. No driver. Astonishing. I’m a total convert.

Ahem. @Keir_Starmer @peterkyle @wesstreeting. Where’s the British voice welcoming the scientists of the world? The innovators are on the move. They bring huge talent and wealth. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now is a good time to make a generous offer. Tick-tock!.
This is a call to all free minds who want to advance science and stand up for a certain model of society. Researchers from around the world, choose Europe for science!
