We are winners!! 🤩🙌 Huge congratulations to our data team for picking up an award at #ACDM25. They designed COSMOS, an open-source database to integrate clinical and translational data in #ClinicalTrials. 👏👏 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... @cancerresearchuk.org @unisouthampton.bsky.social

It seems PubMed has disappeared. This is the digital equivalent of burning a library.

For those of us around the world with looming deadlines & unable to access #Pubmed for many hours, remember there are alternatives. Try searching for papers on #ResearchGate or #GoogleScholar for eg. Hoping this is a temporary situation. Reminded of this just now by my science partner - bless him. 🧪

As we can expect PubMed dysfunction more and more or to be swamped with fake journals I suggest you get acquainted to this nice alternative: europepmc.org

For all of you who cannot access pubmed, here is a good alternative: europepmc.org

We are finalists!! 🙌 Our #data team has been shortlisted for the #ACDM25 awards for designing an open-source database to integrate clinical and translational data in #ClinicalTrials. Read the paper here - journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... @cancerresearchuk.org @unisouthampton.bsky.social
