Watch father and daughter Keith and Riley Murphy on Ireland AM where they discussed their experiences of dyslexia and the impact it has on their lives.

And a huge thank you to Keith and Riley for advocating for the introduction of extra time in state exams.

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky
This is the front page of a fraudulent research article that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. The word "RETRACTED" is written across it in large red letters. Wikipedia: On 28th February 1998, a fraudulent research paper by physician Andrew Wakefield and twelve coauthors, titled "Ileal-Lymphoid-Nodular Hyperplasia, Non-Specific Colitis, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder in Children", was published in the British medical journal The Lancet.[1] The paper falsely claimed causative links between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and colitis and between colitis and autism. The fraud involved data selection, data manipulation, and two undisclosed conflicts of interest.

It is essential the additional time in state exams is provided for students with dyslexia. Here is a great opinion piece by a great colleague and advocate Keith Murphy. @dyslexiaireland.bsky.social @tudublin.bsky.social

Why students with dyslexia need more time in State exams. Additional time would greatly benefit the thousands of young people with dyslexia who face challenges during formal state exams, writes Keith Murphy @tudublin.bsky.social www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...
