Dear Friends,

I celebrate a year of working with UKRI India this June! While I continue to manage climate science research, it has also brought me back to my first love - public health.

My colleagues at UKRI research councils in the UK and across the globe work hard behind the scenes to bring the world's leading researchers together, in search of solutions to global health, social and economic challenges.

I am grateful to be a member of an ecosystem of knowledge. Our scientists need all the support they can get. Students of science deserve the very best labs for tinkering, invention and innovation. And science deserves to be celebrated, for all.

My colleague Zille and I are fundraising for the Medical Research Council Foundation to support research and innovation on emerging and pressing health needs.

MRC programmes support world leading research on early detection and treatment of cancers; and health conditions often overlooked and underfunded, such as eating disorders, self-harm and chronic pain.

The Foundation's work invests in the brightest and best researchers, ensuring the next generation of scientists can continue to solve the biggest challenges facing human health.

Every contribution helps us give hope through life-changing medical research. Every contribution will find its way to a moment of discovery, improve care and support training in labs across the world.

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my fundraising page and especially, for your contribution.
