We’ve launched the Phase One Report from our Global Climate and Health Summit: setting out a human-centred plan for climate and health.
Climate change harms people through their bodies. Heat, air pollution and poor nutrition push human physiology beyond its limits.

Huge congratulations to @marinaromanello.bsky.social and the team at @lancetcountdown.bsky.social for the successful UK launch of their 2025 report today. A phenomenal achievement again to bring such a huge body of research together in such a digestible way.

‘Bleak’. ‘Devastating’. ‘Destruction’. Grim words associated with the new Lancet Countdown report that reveals one person every minute dies from extreme heat. And deaths keep rising due to climate change.

London looking particularly pretty in the autumn sunshine today. But with the clocks going back this weekend, this will be the last time finishing work in daylight until spring 😬.

🥳Great evening in Parliament celebrating the launch of the South East Asia Health Policy Network. We heard powerful stories from communities affected by health impacts of climate change, alongside inspiring examples of resilience & determination. Thanks to Plymouth Uni for great event.

Can highly recommend the new ZooTown at @londonzoo.bsky.social. Isla enjoyed dressing up as a vet, zookeeper, builder and much more.

Physiology took centre stage at the World Health Summit today with a session highlighting the vital role physiological evidence and insight has in keeping people safe during extreme heat - from understanding how the body responds under stress to shaping practical measures that prevent harm. #WHS2025

One of the most interesting sessions at #WHS2025 today focused on global challenges to ensuring access to reliable, quality health information. The key question was how to embed quality indicators into policy, as well as considering the role of scientific journals. Looking forward to day 3 tomorrow!

Day 1 at the World Health Summit in Berlin! I’m here talking to partners and policymakers across global health about the role physiologists can play in shaping health responses that start with the science of how the body works. #WHS2025

Scientists win Nobel Prize for groundbreaking immune system work
The prize-winning discovery explains how the immune system attacks hostile infections, but not the body's own cells.

A good science policy trivia question. How many times did recent Prime Minister’s mention 'science' or 'research and development' in their party conference leader speeches?
