1/ This morning’s evidence session revealed a stark gender disparity. The young woman presenting was the only one addressed by her first name, while the men were referred to by title or surname. A reminder of how professional credibility is shaped by gender. @ukparliament.bsky.social #assisteddying
2/ Beyond forms of address, there was a clear dismissal of evidence. Instead of engaging with the data and concerns she presented, men in the room substituted personal opinions for empirical findings. What is the point of an evidence session if evidence is ignored? #WomenInSTEM #Bias 3/ This isn’t just about one session—it’s a broader issue. Gender biases shape professional discussions and decision-making, often undermining expertise when it comes from women. We must do better to ensure fair, evidence-based discourse. #Equity #WomenInLeadership

Please share and read the @bmj.com summary of the recent APPG report on eating disorders.
The increasing numbers cannot be ignored any longer.

I was a bit worried about the 35 minutes, so left a bit longer, which was unnecessary. Thank you for the recipe - I even learnt new tricks my grandma didn’t know.

Just found a couple of BMJ letters we wrote on the subject a few years ago. They were controversial at the time… it’s great to see the tide turning. 😃
