Everyone deserves a fair chance at good kidney health. The new @Kidney_Research #TimeToAct report on #KidneyHealthInequalities calls for action through research, policy and partnership.
We're calling for urgent action to address social and economic inequalities. Our #TimeToAct report on #KidneyInequalities shows how age, sex, education, location or lack of wealth persist, and can lead to higher risk of kidney disease👇 bit.ly/3xWLseB

📣 Our new transplant report shows that people's mental health needs are not being met after a #KidneyTransplant. This needs to change urgently - a transplant is a treatment not a cure. Click here to find out more: kidneycareuk.org/about-us/po…

Ok, this is seriously amazing. Not only did our Project Assistant, Ciara spot a curled octopus whilst rockpooling by Menai Bridge, Anglesey, but she also managed to capture it changing colour! 🐙 Check out some great facts about octopuses here: mcsuk.org/news/five-facts-ab…

🤯🤯🤯 Discovering the true form of the kidney filter (slit diaphragm) using cryoET ! Contrary to common belief, it resembles a complex mesh rather than simple finger-like structures. The molecular architecture of the kidney slit diaphragm 🤯🤯biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @Achilleas49er

Dear international students and talents from around the world, note that German universities welcome foreign students, are tuition free and many subjects are taught in English. Germany has become an open and liberal society in contrast to what the UK government is implementing.
From today, the majority of foreign university students cannot bring family members to the UK. In 2024, we’re already delivering for the British people.
