TW ⚠️ A guilty verdict is usually the end of the podcast. But in 'Trace Of Doubt', this verdict causes more questions for journalist/host Samantha Weinberg. Follow @Eureka_Sam 30 year journey as she wonders "Did I convict an innocent man, or am I helping to free an innocent one?

For some weeks now, some of us here at @Tortoise have been trying to understand the world around Boris Johnson's finances. Who is funding him? Who is facilitating it? And how much of it is strictly within the rules? Listen to Ep 1 below 👇 tortoisemedia.com/audio/fami…

There is an unsavoury tension between pharmaceutical research and Wall Street, between science, money, and hope. @Eureka_Sam investigated Cassava Sciences, who claimed to have developed a new drug for Alzheimer’s Disease. Out on all podcast platforms: pod.fo/e/14fe19
I hate blowing my own trumpet, but this was a fascinating - sometimes sad, sometimes shocking – journey, and a pleasure to share it with @claudiabromley and @MattRussell3
Where is the line between hype and hope in medical research? In this week’s Slow Newscast, we look at what happened when Cassava Sciences – who claimed to have developed a groundbreaking drug for Alzheimer’s – had its data questioned, leading to its stock plummeting.

It seems Nadine Dorries hates this being retweeted. 👇🏻
The sheer tawdry Trumpian shabbiness of the whole thing - it is difficult to see how much more of this the party or our political system can survive.

As Catherine Tate is trending, because of the way Nadine Dorries behaved in her interview, this had to be done.

Thank you!
Apart from maybe Colonel Sun I think they might well be the best continuation novels actually.

For everyone who loves elephants – and all animals – and who cares about our relationship with them. @SavetheElephant @NonhumanRights @larrytribe @JaneGoodallInst
How a court case involving an elephant could recalibrate the relationship between humans and animals. Listen to the story of Happy the elephant now on Apple: torto.se/2Ce9EfB Spotify: torto.se/30hulPX

Thank you @tortoise 4 opportunity 2 celebrate great work by zoological professionals & pushback on legal/activist nonsense. Happy’s welfare is all that matters, not a courtroom win 4 lawyers 2 raise monetary donations & feed their legal egos. @zoos_aquariums @AAZKinc @theABMA

It’s been 3 years since Maltese investigative journalist #DaphneCaruanaGalizia was murdered for exposing the truth. But her story lives on. There will be no silence until there is full justice for those involved. Join us today as we remember Daphne.

Still a bit weird hearing my voice. But Happy's story really got me...
Replying to @Eureka_Sam
@Eureka_Sam was lucky enough to grow up around elephants. But it wasn’t until she looked into the court case of Happy, the elephant who knew who she was, that it dawned on her just how much these complex, caring animals deserve the right to be free. torto.se/2SULFqE
