Research and disease don’t have borders. This morning’s news was disappointing. We’ve waited long enough for clarification on whether we’re joining the EU’s science programme. The longer we have to wait, the more resources and funding we’re missing out on. cityam.com/sunak-set-to-dela…

We’re looking for leading businesswomen to join our #womenofinfluence mentoring programme. Can you join our community of mentors and support women in research?
Women in #CancerResearch face barriers in the workplace that aren’t unique to academia. That’s why we pair them with leading businesswomen through our #WomenofInfluence programme. Help us empower the next generation of leaders in #CancerResearch 👇 bit.ly/3UKnvgK

Great to see our research data strategy published today - definitely lots of opportunities to collaborate with other organisations on this one!
Today we published our research data strategy. We already support research in data science – but to unleash the enormous potential of big data, we need to scale up our activity. Our new strategy sets out how we’re going to do that: bit.ly/3a527AE

This whole Platinum Jubilee concert build-up is making me so happy and proud. Nice to have a bit of joy as a country after a very tough time.

This is such a fitting tribute. Wouldn't it be amazing if Govt matched the fundraising donations and put the additional £ towards a scheme kick-starting bowel screening from 50? Invest in staff and infrastructure needed? @bowelcanceruk and @CRUK_Policy @GenEdwards @Michelle_CRUK
If ever an honour was richly deserved, this is it. Deborah has been an inspiration and her honesty, warmth and courage has been a source of strength to so many people. My thoughts are with Deborah and her family. She has the country’s love and gratitude. gov.uk/government/news/dameh…

Exciting day - launch of our refreshed research strategy. Looking forward to heading out to #AACR2022 next month to share more about it and hear the latest in cancer research
We’re at a turning point. Over the past 120 years, our work has revolutionised what we know about cancer and how we can beat it. It’s time to build on what we’ve achieved, refresh our approach and ask new questions. Read our research strategy 👉 bit.ly/3ItmBOV (1/6)

If you watch one thing today make it this 👇 A tearful Lyndsay Jackson from @CovidJusticeUK recalls losing her mum to Covid in May 2020 and says @BorisJohnson is "beneath contempt." #KayBurley FM

Imagine how "spectacular" UK science would be if it received the sort of funding our major international competitors now invest. Sir Paul Nurse at this morning's @CommonsSTC hearing on UKGov R&D plans ahead of next week's budget/CSR.

I accept the ebb and flow and changes in language, but....If you take time off, stay IN YOUR HOME and plan fun things to do, it’s a ‘staycation’. If you go away to somewhere else in the UK, you are ‘on holiday’. I will fight with anyone who disagrees, with my bucket and spade.
