We are delighted to announce that the first #MND clinical drug trial in Scotland, in over 20 years, has launched! 👏 MND Scotland is committing over £1.5 million into bringing MND drug trials to Scotland, with #MIROCALS being the first investment. mndscotland.org.uk/latest/news/fi…
#MIROCALS is a clinical trial currently taking place in the UK and France. It is testing a new potential therapy for #ALS, the most common form of #MND. The drug being tested is called Interleukin-2, which is already used for some types of cancer.
Now recruiting people with #MND in #Glasgow, who meet the criteria, the study will focus on types of immune cells in the blood, which are capable of influencing the speed at which #ALS progresses. Find out more about the trial here: mndscotland.org.uk/mirocals
We are committed to bringing safe and effective #MND clinical drugs trials to Scotland as soon as possible. We couldn't do this without our amazing supporters. Thank you! Read more: bit.ly/2MpUNP7 #CureMND 💙
The First Minister @NicolaSturgeon expressed her delight after hearing the news of the first #MND clinical drug trial launching in #Scotland, in over 20 years. @ScotGovFM

This thread is entirely 2018 analysis and as unbiased as I can make it. Collated as I find a lack of signposts to the raw analysis in the media and political discourse, which are high on spin low on facts. Hopefully this will be helpful.

Time once again for our occasional series Forgotten Pulp Genres. Today I'm looking at... sexy space pulp!
It wasn't long after man first went into orbit that people* began asking the obvious question: how do you have sex in space?

(*particularly the French)
Well, near-earth orbit nookie is a difficult thing apparently. It's hard enough getting a Soyuz to dock with the ISS, let alone anything else...

Today in pulp I look back at the career of prolific pulp horror legend Guy N Smith. Stand by for werewolves, crabs, locusts and many other baffling beasties running amok...
To say Guy N Smith is prolific is an understatement: he has over a thousand short stories and magazine articles published, as well as writing for countryside magazines and promoting pipe smoking. Quite a busy guy...
Guy N Smith's mother was historical novelist E.M. Weale. He published his first story aged 12 and write 55 more before he turned 17. At his father's insistence he went into banking as a career, before moving into the shotgun trade.

[Thread] A photo journey through an island in the Outer Hebrides off the coast of #Scotland, Lewis and Harris, with a small bit of #tech/#Amazon/#Netflix thrown in for good measure 🤓
Lewis and Harris is about a 3-hour ferry ride from Ullapool, which is already probably further up into Scotland than the vast majority of people will ever go. The view as you leave the Ullapool harbor is 😗
Once you get to Lewis and Harris (pop. 22,000), you've got a pretty wide open landscape in front of you.

Dear Scotland,

Let's look at the reality...
What people forget is the news media's apparent hostility towards @theSNP is one of the reasons social media became a core communications channel for the party early on (2010), before other UK political parties began taking part. The approach was simple in theory, difficult to...
... carry out, but remarkably successful:
• You can't pretend to be social.
• This is all about building real, trusted relationships at scale, over time.
• Be authentic and engage, enthuse, educate and empower people around @theSNP & the idea of an independent #Scotland.
