The Nobel Prizes are awarded today. This year, *all* the science & economics winners are white men 🤦
So let's remember May-Britt Moser who won the medicine prize a few years ago... and turned up in a dress depicting / inspired by the brain cell structure for discovering which she won her prize.

This is why representation matters. This is why programs that support women in STEM (or any male dominated space) is important. I wish more men had this perspective and respect for their female peers.

And yes, it’s a real letter: www.today.com/today/amp/td...

Sir Tom wrote a book which he said was to raise funds for the NHS.

He died, his daughter made herself head of his charity, and gave the entire £1.47m raised to herself.

We really should be talking about prison.

As Health Secretary Matt Hancock sent Covid infected patients into Care Homes with zero protection for other residents leading to 30,000-40,000 deaths.

Now at the Covid inquiry he blames Nicola Sturgeon.

He and Johnson should be in court.
