"...we find hope in the power of science [...] that unlocks the potential to change things for the better. Science that brings people together in shared understanding of the world around us and our place in it." ✍️ Julia Gillard, Chair of @wellcometrust.bsky.social | #science #globalhealth

"The systems that connect scientists with politicians are not working well" – great insight for those with #sciencepolicy interest from this @natureportfolio.bsky.social survey looking at the gap where top research doesn't always lead to changes in government policy ⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Science could solve some of the world’s biggest problems. Why aren’t governments using it?

A Nature global survey finds that most specialists are unhappy with systems to provide science advice to policymakers.

This is one of the best articles on human challenge trials – aka deliberate infection for medical research – that I've read. Enjoyable & informative from @dylanmatt.bsky.social for @vox.com on his experience volunteering to receive malaria(!), and expert insight on the potential of these trials ⬇️

Working where science & media cross, this is fascinating. It's dispiriting yet unsurprising to see this. But isn't it interesting (reassuring) that scientists are seen as non-divisive, when their key routes to capture public attention are through those 'divisive' media & social media? #scicomm

First impressions: there's lots to like about Bluesky, it looks and sounds a bit like 'old' Twitter. But for me, it misses that town hall factor & instead feels like a collection of soapboxes. I'm curious to hear how others are finding it? And in the meantime, I'll share some more thoughts below 🧵
