No industry is perfect. But the imbalance is hard to miss. One sector must prove its products are safe & effective. The other profits by avoiding that responsibility. If we care about transparency and accountability, scrutiny shouldn’t be one-sided. (Source: For The Greater Glory of Science) #EpiSky

I don't know how many times I will have to yell this but you can't simply list "gut microbiome" as the primary outcome of your clinical trial...

That can be literally thousands of things depending on how you analyze it so it defeats the point

Pharmaceutical payments to general practices rose from £2.5 mill in 2015 to £7.5 mill in 2022. 54 companies made payments, but one company, Chiesi—marketing respiratory inhalers—accounted for >50% of payments since 2017

The payment growth and the dominance of one company raise concerns about bias

'Immigrants are the scapegoats they need. Everyone else just needs humanity and help.'
"Doing nothing about the real issues behind people's struggles, politicians like Starmer create & trap us on an 'island of strangers' – a place not only of 'alien foreigners' but of Brits alienated from themselves & a political system of no use"

Top 4 things to know about doing science:
1. You need to have someone you can talk to
2. One-on-one discussions are the best
3. Think about discussions as improvisations and use the ‘yes, and’ rule
4. Create a safe space so both of you feel open to saying seemingly silly things
