"...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."

At @wellcometrust.bsky.social we've funded human challenge trials, also known as human infection studies, for a number of years.
🎧 An episode of our podcast, When Science Finds a Way, explains more about these studies with insight from researchers & volunteers: wellcome.org/news-and-rep...
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

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 ⬇️
