“Work must continue to ensure the process by which employers consider whether to refer, and how the GMC considers those referrals, is fair and transparent."

A referral is statistically more likely for doctors from ethnic minorities. How can we respond?

The program officer for a study section I'm on at
@altnih4science.bsky.social appears to have been fired. She was phenomenal - dedicated, kind, supportive, and wonderful in every way, and did not deserve this. This is utterly cruel and destructive. What can we do to resist?!!

Garrett Graff is a former editor of Politico. Take note, scientists 🧪, he is deeply informed about politics.

“American institutions [including science institutions] continue to **underreact**” to what is happening.
