Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

Exactly. Psychopaths should not occupy positions of power.

The UK’s independent scientific bodies are highly vulnerable to politicisation - over the past 5 months I've been working with @martinmckee.bsky.social to map out their vulnerabilities and it's not good news.

Today our report is published!

How about approaching this from the other side- how do we incentivise employers to make the adjustments necessary to help people with disabilities into work. Rather than suggesting that if sick people just tried a bit harder they could not be sick, which is what this looks like

My thoughts on job advisers in GP surgeries. As you might guess, I'm not a fan.
Will make anxious patients worse. How about incentivising employers instead of telling patients to try harder.

Wisdom, moral imagination, an enlarged sympathy for those who live or have lived differently from yourself. This is what you get from studying the Humanities. So quite important, actually.

I just hope Gisele lives long enough to make millions from speaker fees and royalties from the inevitable movie. Who would play her? Helen Mirren maybe? Meryl Streep?
