🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

At City Hall to present on SIPP Project for London Drugs Forum. Safer inhalation pipe provision for people who use crack getting lots of overdue attention. Time for legislative reform! 😃 @lshtm.bsky.social @releasedrugs.bsky.social harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

If your community does not have enough witnessed consumption sites, then your whole community is an unwitnessed consumption site. #harmreduction #bcpoli #onpoli

Powerful closing #EHRC2024 plenary. Now the time for "strong language" to achieve, maintain & build #harmreduction with/for our communities. "No more hiding behind rhetoric of 'target' & 'vulnerable' populations". "Zero tolerance on poverty, zero tolerance on inequality, zero tolerance on stigma!"

What an amazing location for #EHRC2024. Such a pleasure to be here, present, and celebrate with Correlation correlation-net.org their 20 year anniversary. An honour to have been a member of their network. Thank you Eberhard and Katrin!

Lost my cool @ #EHRC2024 - bound to happen! Trigger point, the why of equipment provision below. What about to promote the health, wellbeing, dignity & human rights of PWUD!! Harm & disease discourse positions PWUD as risky 'other' to be managed & renders NSP vulnerable if HCV eliminatation achieved

I appaud @unodc.bsky.social for the needed focus on stimulant drugs #EHRC2024 but urge focus beyond BBV. A cynical view that this speaks more to communicable disease transmission concern among broader 'public' than the health & wellbeing of people who use stimulants. Respiratory conditions crucial.

The wonderful Lynn Jefferys at #EHRC2024 speaking out for our community "we are your colleagues" and the crucial reminder, that to advance #harmreduction access & acceptability "integration means initiatives that are peer led"

@sarosip.bsky.social at #EHRC2024 on the fallacy of much 'drug-related violence' discourse:: "most of the crime is not drug related but is related to the system and how we are creating violence through policy" & on #harmreduction: "we don't want to speak about needles, but about people"

Empassioned speech from Lithuanian member of the European Parliament #EHRC2024 railing against the political rise of the far right: "we need to fight once again those who are fighting against harm reduction... against human rights'

Delighted to be at #EHRC2024 Courageous opening from former president Poland:"I signed a lot of very restrictive bills in drug policy.. I came to realise this was counter productive...we cannot repeat the stereotypes present in the public sphere..This restrictive drug policy is the road to nowhere"
