Development of ‘tropical medicine’ at LSHTM was shaped by white supremacy and racist pseudoscience, says study it commissioned

Very sad news. Devastating news for these UK scientists who worked so hard to be awarded these ERCs in the first place. Another Brexit disaster ☹️
BREAKING >> 143 UK-based ERC winners told their grants will be ‘terminated’: Horizon Europe winners “disappointed” as time runs out to move their grant out of UK. @sophie_inge @ERC_Research @UKRI_News @beisgovuk

Review articles often don’t “count” in academic evaluation, but I have learned so much & appreciate the contextual, historical information in review articles written by creative scholars. Such an important, yet devalued part of the scientific landscape
