Truly an honour to be recognised alongside people I've admired deeply in cancer control globally. oncodaily.com/community/100-… Also a reminder that we have miles to go towards equity in cancer care. @CancerGridIndia Access to quality healthcare should be a right, not a privilege.

To keep antibiotics effective for everyone, here’s what NOT to do: ❌ Do not use antibiotics for colds, flu or sore throats. Antibiotics do not treat viruses. ❌ Do not share your antibiotics with others. ❌ Do not save leftover antibiotics for use later. Learn more 👉 bit.ly/4otAEcV

Recently we made it possible to embed archived versions of our interactive charts that never change or update, giving you full control over how the chart looks going forward. It’s great to see publications using this feature! Here are recent examples, from earth.org and the German magazine, Stern.

Since the early 1990s, #lungcancer rates in women in the UK have risen by around a third (34%). Lung cancer can affect anyone even younger people. Be alert to symptoms that don’t go away, like a cough that lingers, breathlessness, fatigue or chest/shoulder pain. Source: Cancer Research UK #LCSM

It was great to have Prof Mary O'Brien at the @TataMemorial.bsky.social speaking on recent advances in non-small cell lung cancer. From prevention, screening and early detection, adjuvant and neoadjuvant strategies to management of advanced NSCLC @royalmarsden.org

The authors of a new review provide practical suggestions for clinical educators to reinvigorate the teaching and practice of bedside clinical skills in the modern health care environment. Learn more: nej.md/4nUirnP #MedSky #MedEd

Access to vaccines is not a privilege — it is a human right. In @statnews.com today, Stefan Peterson and I write about using a human rights-based approach to deal with vaccine denialism and the return of measles, whooping cough and diphtheria www.statnews.com/2025/11/12/c...

🚨 This is unscientific & dangerous. The MMR vaccine is safe, effective & used worldwide. Splitting it into 3 shots isn’t evidence-based—it’s politics that will sow confusion, lower coverage & fuel outbreaks. Don’t be surprised when countries start requiring proof of MMR from U.S. travelers. 💉

The title says it all! Health care in the USA: money has become the mission @thelancet.com review on "the damage wrought by decades of market-based policies that have stimulated profit-seeking by insurers and health-care providers" @awgaffney.bsky.social et al www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Solidly researched. Evidence based. Incontrovertible. "An astounding 90% of autistic children consumed either breast milk or formula...ignoring potential confounders, control groups and statistical significance." Hats off to @integralanswers.bsky.social for the fine work.

Congratulations, Madhu Pai @madhupai.bsky.social Richly deserved President award for your commitment and passion for teaching. In my book, recognition as a teacher and a mentor means so much more than for any other role you play. @mcgilluniversity.bsky.social

Save lives, donate blood! @TataMemorial #MumbaiUltra *Children with Cancer need blood for their treatment. Mumbai hospitals need blood to treat patients* Your 1 Unit of Blood will Save 3 lives. Please spread the message to all your friends and family and help us. (1/2)

"Life is often unpredicatable and it’s okay if everything isn’t in order. If I waited until I had all my ducks in a row, I'd never get across the street. Sometimes you just have to gather up what you've got and make a run for it.” Judge Lynn Toler Happy Wednesday. 🦆😶 Let's make a run for it today!

And incidentally, this happened... x.com/ASCO/status/...

State of the world of science publishing: - Booming paper mills cranking out fake papers - AI generated images & papers flooding the system - Unaffordable article process charges - Difficulties in finding peer reviewers - Political pressures & censorship on editors & journals What did I miss?

Attending the National Cancer Grid annual meeting in Mumbai and learning about the terrific projects being undertaken to improve cancer care and control in India. @ascocancer.bsky.social is proud to to be a partner. @cspramesh.bsky.social

Ouch! A clarion call for more responsible journalism. Brutally rendered, but effectively so!

The number of folks who are defending and even justifying a father killing his daughter doesn't bode well for our societal structure. Whatever the reason might be.

Most of the increase in natural disasters in the late 20th century is due to improved reporting— Tracking the occurrence of natural disasters can save lives by helping countries prepare for future ones.

Did you know that women make up 67% of the health workforce globally? @who.int Investing in women in all roles strengthens surgical systems and drives health equity. Let’s close the gap together. 2/2 #GenderEquity #GlobalSurgery #SurgicalSafety

🌍 It’s #GlobalSurgeryDay! 5 billion people lack access to safe, timely, affordable surgical care. Safe surgery saves lives, prevents disability, and strengthens economies. 1/2

Delivery of global surgery is not just #equity but also #sustainability. As a profession we must grapple with over-servicing, 'met unneed' and resource-guzzling technologies when a large proportion of the world still lacks access to basic, sustainable surgical care. #MedSky

Are those pockets? I think those are POCKETS! 😍 👏Ariana Greenblatt in Cannes For more about why pockets are progressive- vox.com/2016/9/19/1286… TLDR- women are meant to be purely decorative and not handle money. And we can't be trusted, apparently. 🙄

Algorithms can predict treatment effects at the patient level using data from randomised #ClinicalTrials to inform treatment decisions. This new paper extends methods to assess the accuracy of these predictions, focusing on survival (time-to-event) outcomes. 👇

Hey everyone— @healthsciences.mcgill.ca is thinking of ditching X Their Bluesky account is still empty, but if we can rally some followers, it might help them make the switch. Give them a boost? Thank you!!🙏

The stethoscope was invited 200 yrs ago After decades of stagnation, it has evolved! Digital stethoscopes which use AI to identify normal vs abnormal heart, lung sounds, etc. A simple, low-cost, non-invasive way of screening for TB, asthma, murmurs, pneumonia, fetal distress? We need research!

The World Health Organization will slash its budget for 2026-27 by more than a fifth after the US withdrew, and other nations reduced, its funding. WHO reportedly plans to cut back the scale of its projects and workforce to tackle a funding gap of nearly $600m this year www.bmj.com/content/389/...
