Quote of the day
“Perhaps one of the least productive, most short- sighted, self-motivated and hypocritical acts I have ever witnessed. As far as I can ascertain, it has no foundation in reality. I suspect this move has the support of precisely 0 per cent of the US scientific and healthcare communities and, I would hope, only a small minority of the population as a whole.” Leeds University’s School of Medicine professor, Dr Stephen Griffin, responding to President Trump's decision to cut funding to the World Health Organisation
