New @bioethics_net blog post: University Responses to Student Protests: Anti-Principle, Anti-Ethical, and Anti-Academic bioethicstoday.org/blog/universit…

"Are we ethicists, or not? A ‘complicated’, ‘uncomfortable’, ‘political’ ethical problem is no less an ethical problem." I wrote an editorial for the @JME_BMJ on Israel's wide-ranging destruction of health in Gaza. It's free to read here: jme.bmj.com/content/50/5/2…

Lots of arguments for and against the upcoming WCB in Qatar. As a postgraduate student, I'm wondering how I can apply these conversations/principles to other international conferences. E.g. are there other instances where academic Boycotting and Divesting is appropriate?

The meaninglessness of doing bioethics: Reality check from a conflict zone Bioethics "risks being discarded into the bin of the irrelevant if it does not offer practical solutions to the challenges thrown up by lived experiences." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31540891/

📢 New Article Alert! Our recent article delving into the bioethical challenges catalyzed by the Gaza conflict has been published @bioethics_net bioethicstoday.org/blog/the-gaza-…

Only a little over a month to go before the Communication, Narratives, and Antimicrobial Resistance workshop I'm co-organising with @wtmatlock @AlbertoGiubili1 and @DrSallyFrampton! More here: torch.ox.ac.uk/event/communic…

Up for a walk on a sunny spring/summer day? Plant Power! is a trail I've designed around antimicrobial resistance, plants, and ethics. The Oxford Botanic Garden @OBGHA have just launched it, so pick up a brochure at the entrance and enjoy a walk! #AMR @Ethox_Centre

In this commentary we question the ethical foundation of assigning climate protection duties to healthcare workers. Limited capacity, lack of authority in value judgments, and institutional boundaries pose challenges. jme.bmj.com/content/early/…

Great to see this @NEUROSEC_Ox article released! Check it out at @BMJMentalHealth mentalhealth.bmj.com/content/27/1/e…

Apparently AJOB is part of the Israeli propaganda machine now…

GoGuardian monitors millions of students. EFF analyzed actual websites that the student monitoring tool marked as "explicit," and found that thousands of students are flagged every day for visiting sites that are benign, and often, educational. redflagmachine.org via @eff

Really appreciated this discussion. Something I often worry about is that the fear of doing bioethics that looks like advocacy will silence us on the most important areas. The targeting of hospitals, press, and others in Gaza is a bioethics issue. The war is a bioethics issue.

Many Psychologists claim we should stay out of politics, that it is not our job to have an opinion on sociopolitical issues, but no amount of psychological intervention will help any person if their basic needs like adequate housing are not met.

We have today written to @UKRI_News to express our anger and disappointment at their capitulation to the demands of @michelledonelan in relation to the suspension of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) advisory board

1/ Let's discuss the role of psychology and psychiatry in upholding Israeli apartheid and the limitations of addressing Palestine within a framework of therapy and mental health. 🧵
