Excellent thread detailing the detrimental effect the increase of visa costs will have on the quality of research and education at UK universities. – at Cambridge, England
The UK is planning on massively increasing visa costs.
Currently a researcher looking at a 5-year Global Talent Visa, together with their partner and two children, needs to find £13.4k.
All up front. A big ask.
But that’s now slated to increase to…
**£20.9k**

Point 1001 on the list of why the UK has become so incredibly unattractive to young, talanted and qualified people from abroad (especially the EU) after brexit: – at Cambridge, England
How are the govt going to fund paying public sector workers more?
'The fee for migrants applying for visas and accessing the NHS will go up - that will raise over £1bn,' Rishi Sunak explains.

Of course it's good to finally pay the overworked and underpaid workers in the NHS more. Is it enough? Probably not. Is it going to look good on Rishi's resumé? Certainly. But that money should not have to come from people looking to emigrate to the UK. The UK needs these people! – at Cambridge, England

My first co-authored paper was published today🥳
It highlights the rescue of cognitive decline and abeta load in APP mice in response to a hibernation derived compound that acts on mitochondrial complex I/IV metabolism.

Interesting perspective on the potential use of psychedelics in combating treatment-resistant depression. All possibilities must be considered to improve treatment and psylicibin seems like a promising candidate that was disregarted for too long.
