This is so good to see. Michael Chew helped me apply for my own first training fellowship 25 years ago. I still remember how he personally phoned me with detailed interview feedback and advice afterwards. He has championed & enriched many, many early careers in many countries.

New data from Malawi show a single dose of typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) offers 4 years of protection, giving communities a cost-effective tool to prevent the disease! Will it be the same elsewhere? We will find out with further studies. #VaccinesWork thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Public services have been savaged by austerity. Institute for Fiscal Studies reports that further cuts are planned. Can the Chancellor really be planning tax cuts? If so, say out loud what is being given up in order to fund increases in income for those who pay tax.
