Acutely intelligent, sensitive to Russia as much as to Ukraine, clear about the horror of war - quietly immensely courageous - @zelenskyyUa is an extraordinary man. This is one of the most remarkable speeches ever made - in dignified contrast to Putin’s hysterical megalomania.
.@ZelenskyyUa's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message. #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine #Україна #Russia #Россия

We've published our 2019 STI and chlamydia screening in England report. Diagnoses increased by 5% from 2018, including a 26% increase in gonorrhoea cases. Consistent and correct condom use with new sexual partners is the best defence against STIs. gov.uk/government/news/peopl…

My employer has published a new Ethical Conduct policy. It looks like every single academic must be up to no good.
