Working where science & media cross, this is fascinating.
It's dispiriting yet unsurprising to see this. But isn't it interesting (reassuring) that scientists are seen as non-divisive, when their key routes to capture public attention are through those 'divisive' media & social media? #scicomm

Extraordinary research published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social by the Human Cell Atlas, a project aiming to map all 37 trillion cells in the human body...!
"When complete, it could transform the ways we diagnose, monitor and treat diseases" – Katrina Gold @wellcometrust.bsky.social to BBC ⬇️
"The systems that connect scientists with politicians are not working well" – great insight for those with
#sciencepolicy interest from this @natureportfolio.bsky.social survey looking at the gap where top research doesn't always lead to changes in government policy ⬇️

This is one of the best articles on human challenge trials – aka deliberate infection for medical research – that I've read.
Enjoyable & informative from @dylanmatt.bsky.social for @vox.com on his experience volunteering to receive malaria(!), and expert insight on the potential of these trials ⬇️

"The sort of mental health intervention you see in five years may look nothing like — or very different from — the ones that you see now.”
– @mirandawolpert.bsky.social in @mikepeeljourno.bsky.social's superb FT Big Read on the new, exciting, digital generation of #mentalhealth treatments 🕹️⬇️
"...we find hope in the power of science [...] that unlocks the potential to change things for the better. Science that brings people together in shared understanding of the world around us and our place in it."
