I spend so much time worrying that I'm not doing enough for the climate. But just 34 billionaires on the rich list could get the UK to net zero emissions and they'd still have enough left to buy a couple of islands each. Find out what else they could do 👉 nottherichlist.co.uk

A pleasure 2 have spoken @FungalUpdate #Mycology2024 A meeting I recommend. Thx to the many patients & colleagues such as @DrNeilStone 4 support'g @BioDriveAFS. If you want to join and/or improve your #fungal #biomarkers turnaround see: biodrive-rct.com @BSACandJAC #NIHR

Cracking first day of #Mycology2024 Mycology is a great field to be in. Small enough that you can get to know leaders in the field , and have a fair shot at progressing in your career, but big enough (and growing) to be constantly interesting and challenging @FungalUpdate

Great to hear from @gavin_barlow of @HullYorkMed and PI of the @BioDriveAFS study discussing the trial We at @uclh are proud to be a site for this important study @FungalUpdate #Mycology2024

There comes a point when you have to ignore the focus groups & surveys about what will play well with sit-on-the-fence #Tory voters & stick to your principles. This portrays #Labour as a flippety-flop #government before they are even in power..! @UKLabour bbc.com/news/uk-politi…

Delighted to have recruited our first patient @uclh for the @BioDriveAFS trial! Discovering the best strategy for the prevention of fungal infections in leukaemia @WilsonAndrewDr @HamishHouston2 @gavin_barlow @NIHRresearch

3/3: And it demonstrates the power of #academics, #research #funders, #healthcareprofessionals, and associated societies with #education and #dissemination experience such as @BSACandJAC, collaborating to produce open access #knowledgeexchange outputs @NIHRresearch @BioDriveAFS

2/3: It also shows the potential for #research to drive #qualityimprovement in the #NHS: We have some nice examples about how sites, some yet to open, have reduced #turnaroundtime considerably, which positively impacts #patients beyond those recruited @NIHRresearch @HUTHResearch

1 /3: Want to optimise turnaround time for #clinical tests? This knowledge exchange toolkit is based on learning from @BioDriveAFS in collaboration w/ @BSACandJAC. Altho focused on ##fungal #infection #biomarkers, there is generic #learning biodrive-rct.com/toolkit-introd… @NIHRresearch
