Nice perspective piece on #DoxyPEP implementation in @thelancetinfdis.bsky.social Many similarities to the early days of #HIV #PrEP. It can be a very valuable tool, but must confront issues of stigma, equity, and concerns of #AMR #IDsky #STIsky www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

"im an academic weapon" i tell myself as i watch the agar im melting in the microwave boil over again #MicroSky #PhDSky

Well timed report from @local.gov.uk on the need for a much clearer approach to health inequalities. Local gov is critical to narrowing the gap + great to see it feature @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social as a case study & refer to work from @healthfoundation.bsky.social www.local.gov.uk/about/news/g...

breathing in this LB dust all the time canNOT be good for me

seeing quite a few "indigenous folks have have had their citizenship challenged by US immigration enforcement officers - trumps crackdown isnt about border control its about racism!!!" takes

reminds me of my funder's (BBSRC EASTBIO) two-tier internship programme where (for a compulsory internship!) students who can't afford to travel and rent elsewhere for 3 months are told to find somewhere local or just do a remote placement... while wealthy students go work in-person at the UN

i guess the thing that annoyed me most is that: if you want to speak on racism and health inequalities, you have to be prepared to identify and tackle racism being peddled in response to your talk. the speaker for this event was not and so may have legitimised those racist talking points

approx 10 seconds into Q&A after a "racism and health inequalities" seminar before some middle class academic brings up "left-behind working class white boys" you best believe i was in that chat like this
