Wellcome and anti-racism update:
In June 2020, Wellcome publicly recognised that it had perpetuated racism and pledged to tackle racism as an organisation.
Unfortunately, we’ve fallen short of the commitments we made. 1/10

We must continue to be a great place to do science that improves health and fixes inequalities ✍️

We must ensure equitable access of vaccines. It's in everyone's best interest |

A no deal
#Brexit
