Just heard from @utafrith.bsky.social about @migrationmuseum.org and followed several new links, so good to repost details of the meeting I helped to organise on behalf of @adelphigenetics.bsky.social. So many migrants at several of my organisations: @royalsociety.org @ucleye.bsky.social

Never vote Reform - we all made the ECHR - it is precious.

Peter Stefanovic@peterstefanovic.bsky.social · 3mo ago

The ECHR has protected British people from abuses of power by its own government. Nigel Farage wants us to leave it. Please think about that youtu.be/Fhrb5Z7ScME?...

Liz Patton brought a taste of Edinburgh to India when she delivered the Myron Gordon Award lecture at the European Society for Pigment Cell Research's International Pigment Cell Conference in New Delhi. Read more about the conference 👉 ipcc2026.com

@england.nhs.uk Do not like the new NHS app at all. Quite difficult to get to look at details of person one cares for, where actually most of my traffic happens.

I would like to know what concerned and horrified “ordinary” people, could do to change how the world is run today. There is an astonishing feeling of “emperor’s new clothes” scenario where everyone, including me, says and does nothing about the illegal and unethical actions of deranged leaders

Ian has a way of getting to the nub. This is basically the kind of thing I wrote to Tim Davie about in 2020, though I had no idea how bad it would get. Most of the media has not the slightest notion how to handle a situation like this, and instead tries desperately to normalize it.

Science and Civilisation lecture @royalsociety.org : ERC President Maria Leptin gave a spirited and inspiring talk about maintaining academic freedom and knowledge progression. One essential component is maintenance of diversity of thought and people to keep new ideas flowing

@metoffice.gov.uk don’t like the new App at all. The old one was much better. For one thing it says that my location is Chelsea when I am in old Clapham. Nothing about Storms in Spain when I check Granada and Cordoba where I am bound soon

What a fantastic icon, such focus and dedication. And she was an immigrant. So many countries have benefited from the fresh insights and out-of-the-box ideas of immigrants.

Born #OnThisDay in 1867 was Marie Skłodowska–Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the only woman to win twice and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two disciplines: Physics for her work on radioactivity, and Chemistry for her discovery of radium and polonium. #WomenInSTEM

@bsgmofficial.bsky.social enjoyed an excellent morning of talks at #BSGM2025. Fantastic progress in medical genetics during my career. Feel as excited about the ideas and new findings as I was in the 1989s! So many more genetic components of diseases now understood. Therapy techniques now emerging

After this excellent meeting I am much clearer about why the question about newborn genome screening is not simply "Will it save some lives?" It would be great if it was, but that's not how it works.

It was a very good discussion. Thanks to BBC Sounds I listened while cooking dinner
