We are devastated to say that our beautiful Isabelle died in the early hours of this morning. We are absolutely broken. However, we want you all not to think of her death, but to honour her by living life as she did: fearlessly, joyously & spontaneously.

Whew, a whole picture of me😅. Delighted to share that @wellcometrust is opening a £20m funding scheme, the #AcceleratorAwards, for researchers of Black, Bangladeshi or Pakistani heritage in the UK. Short thread of the critical details 🧵
Wellcome@wellcometrust

Minoritised communities are underrepresented in UK research – particularly those of Black, Bangladeshi or Pakistani heritage. We're launching £20mn in new funding to help address this ⤵️ [1/3]

UKRI decides to suspend its new Equality, Diversity & Inclusion gmGroup after criticism from a government minister. A serious worry that a more inclusive approach to UK research funding & strategy, that has been years in the coming, has been killed at birth.
UK Research and Innovation@UKRI_News

Yesterday, UKRI responded to a letter from Secretary of State, Michelle Donelan. Now we are publishing that response and the Terms of Reference for the review we are setting up.

I'm not okay. The ex took everything they could from me, knowing it would put me in a poor position, while working for myself and recovering from a serious illness. Job hunting for a year now, hanging by a thread, no end in sight. I'm hoping that something works out soon... 🤞🏿

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion really matter in public life - we need all voices to be represented in decision making - if not, this can lead to awful outcomes for minority groups.

For example, a willingness to let the elderly die, a failure to see financial pressures on low income households asked to isolate without furlough, and a failing to see worse outcomes for ethnic minority frontline workers.

Fascinating evidence from Lee Cain, former Director of Communications to Boris Johnson, explaining how a lack of diversity 'in the room' made for blind spots and bad decisions eith regard to Covid-19 - govt failing to understand impacts and challenges for various minority groups.

Chris Kise raises a series of statute of limitations objections, overruled by the judge in that the state is allowed to show a pattern or practice. Trump, visibly displeased even sitting behind him, crosses his arms tightly and shakes his head.
