‘Why #trains feel unsafe’. I agree… but should also note my commute feels unsafe *every day* with 10-15 people, plus luggage, bikes, dogs crammed into the link space between carriages. A disaster waiting to happen. I have raised concerns. Customer services don’t reply. #ChilternRail

What has happened to your site @figshare.com? Our collections used to be a lovely summary with thumbnails but all that nice formatting has vanished.
Old / new views shown as screenshots.
No response from help desk.
Is anyone else having problems?

Triple #elimination is possible - we have the tools to prevent vertical transmission of #HBV, #HIV & #syphilis.
Congratulations to #Maldives on doing it, evidencing it & maintaining it... hoping more will follow your lead.
