Excellent to hear from ENTIS and OTIS that, in their view, the expansion of precautionary measures re: paternal #valproate use are “insufficiently substantiated”

This is an outrageous move from the MHRA: "Whilst this study does not prove that valproate use in men increased the risk of problems in children, it is an important safety issue that warrants action on a precautionary basis." Parenting studies Clare Murphy gov.uk/government/new…

Please don’t panic. Please reach out to your teams. Most importantly be safe. The risks of suddenly stopping any med outweigh any risk being presented at the moment. My inbox is open for anyone affected by today’s news. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… #valproate #epilepsy

This headline manages to reinforce several pillars of rape culture at once, one being that sexual violence is a private act and coming forward about it publicly is a transgression, another that any attempt to seek justice for sexual violence is a form of violence in itself

It is important to note that the MHRA are providing this advice as a precautionary response to a study which has shown a possible (& as yet unproven) risk of childhood developmental impairments. But this study has important limitations (see here for more onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…)

Really pleased to have this article out with my PhD student, Courtney McMahon, where we show that the concept of epigenetic responsibility is unjustifiable: Against epigenetic responsibility: The problem of causality in ‘foetal programming’ science onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bi…

SUDEP Action believes the lack of MHRA transparency and consultation on the Prevent Programme is outside the range of what is reasonable or acceptable. So too, is the MHRA disregard for informed consent and shared decision-making. #epilepsy #SUDEP #seizures

We have written to Wes Streeting to request an urgent review of the governance of the UK medical regulatory function and some immediate mitigations to alleviate the ongoing harms we are seeing, including escalating waiting lists. Read more: sudep.org/new-mhra-guida… #epilepsy

If your knee-jerk response to this week’s harrowing news about violence against women is “not all men”, you need to read this from Caroline Criado Perez. (Almost) all women worry about their safety, even if they don’t tell you about it. newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/invisible-wo…

Picture a queue of men six times as long: The photo shows only 15 out of the 90 men accused.
