Whatever your views, the Cass Review was biased and political. These are important matters that affect people’s lives, and we deserve a government who will prioritise the truth over political gain. That’s why we need a new independent evaluation of the Cass Review

In our lab, we believe that the best science happens when people feel happy & secure, & able to be open about who they are. Diversity in the lab also diversifies points of view, accelerating creativity, which is so important!
