"Tobacco industry makes huge profits while killing millions... The idea that these companies should be allowed to take this blood money and launder their reputation by diversifying into healthcare is simply obscene."

A very powerful message sent to the US government at #ATS2025 given funding cuts by the current US government

#BudgetCuts

#ATS2025
At #ATS2025, President Irina Petrache used an empty chair on stage to make visible the absence of peers who can’t be in attendance at the meeting - caused by ongoing cuts to research and healthcare. #budgetcuts @amjreviews.bsky.social @atscommunity.bsky.social

Publicity on the British Social Attitudes Survey on #NHS emphasised LOW public satisfaction but most failed to note:

✅90% back the NHS model
💵69% call for more funding
🚹72% call for more staff
👛49% would pay more tax if needed

The public is NOT satisfied with LABOUR GOVT

@altmetric.com now following interactions on @bsky.app
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
