.@MichelleObama: "I am asking y'all from the core of my being to take our lives seriously. Please do not put our lives in the hands of politicians, mostly men, who have no clue or do not care about what we as women are going through...Please do not hand our fates over to the likes of Trump, who knows nothing about us. Who has shown deep contempt for us. Because a vote for him is a vote against us. Against our health. Against our worth."

Intensive care is the last line of defence. Sustainable support for the things that change the trajectory of an outbreak/pandemic (research capacity, life sciences sector..etc) may prevent ICUs from experiencing what we did in the future. 2/6

Today is national coming out day We send love to everyone out and proud, but also to those who are not yet out & to those who might not be able to be out due to their personal safety Your sexuality is valid 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This week Ganesh and I gave evidence about the report we had written for the @covidinquiryuk. Our report can be found at covid19.public-inquiry.uk/documents/inq0… For those that won't read a >100 page report (you should!), I thought I'd highlight some of our lessons learned/recommendations. 1/6

As a legal deposit library, we're entitled to request a copy of everything published in the UK and Ireland. This week, children's book writer Rachel Flower and Olaf, her Pets as Therapy dog, gave us a copy of her latest book.

Delighted to be ⁦@Selwyn1882⁩ this evening for Graduate matriculation. Extra special this year as ⁦@LukeFlower1⁩ from my research group joining college as a PhD student!

Why do so many LGBTQ+ people still have to snatch moments of affection when we know others aren’t looking. “We just want to feel safe in the knowledge that we, as human beings with the same need for love as the rest of the population, belong.l theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Thanks for all the kind messages today about my appearance at the #CovidInquiry. More to be said in evidence in the coming days (we stopped unexpectedly early today), but the report Ganesh and I wrote is now publicly available for anyone interested: covid19.public-inquiry.uk/documents/inq0…

Looking forward to today’s matriculation at @Selwyn1882 and with it the official start of my PhD at @Cambridge_Uni. Excited to see what the next few years at the @HLRI_Cambridge hold!

Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.

Olaf papped mid training session (chasing a tennis ball into the lido). Team GB’s newest diving recruit for LA 2028 with that impeccable form?

If UK science does not have a pipeline of scientific leadership talent capable of and willing to lead organisations such as the Royal Society, there are questions that need answering about how such a issue can be urgently addressed….. theguardian.com/science/articl…

For various reasons, today I needed to talk about what Covid ICU was like in 2020-21, which is tough. But it also made me remember that amongst the awfulness, the amazing @charliemackesy used to share posts here that helped get me thru - thank you!
