Great to see move to replace using horseshoe crabs in pharma-testing. Delighted if my work introducing a social science perspective to this topic & highlighting potential of 3Rs thinking/language has potentially helped move conversations fwd even slightly! pcrm.org/news/good-science-d…
A report by @SustainableRich that we helped to produce in 2020 highlighted the significant ethical and animal welfare need, and the scientific opportunity, for making this change. See our infographic bddy.me/35Ox1bL for a link
What a wonderful collaboration- big thanks to @SustainableRich and the team @IDS_UK especially Alice Webb. #raredisease #participatoryresearch @BSMSMedSchool @SussexUni
Pleased to contribute several case studies to the @IDS_UK Participatory Methods website based on the work @Ethixbird and I have been doing at @BSMSMedSchool. First our work co-producing collages to understand life with rare conditions participatorymethods.org/cas… 1/4

I could not agree more. Is there any way of protecting the people of #Brighton& Hove?A cap is an imposed maximum after all not a required minimum.
A rocketing bus fare rise hits young people, families and all those who can't afford a car. It entrenches years of unequal burdens, is the opposite of a progressive transport pricing policy, and means less for better travel across the country. Incredibly poor. #Budget2024

Oh for goodness sake, I certainly don’t welcome this decision . ‘Starmer insisted on Monday that working people would welcome such decisions as a necessary part of fixing the public finances after 14 years of Conservative government.’ apple.news/A7Tj5GsYFSnOQRQwV…
I’m loving being an apprentice geographer . Thanks to my mentor @SustainableRich
New piece by @Ethixbird & I in @SocCultGeog exploring the social and cultural elements of family life with rare disease, thinking what geography can add to discussions, and being a little creative with our methods by inviting reflections from our participants on a postcard!
Certainly life changing for me.
Presumably this doesn’t tell us everything about who the same people want to win the election and therefore who they will vote

🚌 It is deeply worrying that the Labour Government might ditch the bus fare cap in the Budget - here's why...

ALT Screenshot of Telegraph article headline 'Rachel Reeves to scrap bus fare cap' and first few sentences. Link to article will be provided in later tweet in this thread
It is so disappointing to hear that @RachelReevesMP is planning to end the £2.00 bus fare cap. How is increasing the cost of public transport consistent with a wish to benefit working people and a commitment to protect the environment - both of which I want from the government?
Pls @Victorianplumb get in touch and explain why my order (all in stock) has not arrived, why we’ve not received updates or ETA, why money has been taken from my account & why this place is full of similar complaints.
. @Victorianplumb - clearly not alone in not receiving my order despite money being taken and all items showing as in stock. Terrible response from ‘customer service’ next stop @WhichUK
Comes to something when your own staff take the words out of my mouth regarding how awful to are these days @British_Airways .

A few weeks back I wrote about Kendrick Lemar and measuring campaign impact. Feel free to read it here and think 'wtf'?
