The Internet Has Made Health Anxiety Worse Than Ever
“Don’t google your cancer,” the oncology nurse said to me as she drew my blood ahead of my first round of chemotherapy. It was 2006 and I was 17 years old. I was very confused by the emphasis she put on this advice. Still, I took the print-out of “safe” web addresses she gave me home and pinned it on the noticeboard in the kitchen, where it stayed, ignored, as I slowly progressed through six months of cancer treatment.

I was confused because the opportunities for me to use the internet to research my recent diagnosis of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma,...

U.K. visa changes imperil recruitment of scientific talent, policy experts warn
New U.K. immigration rules will deter international scientific talent and harm universities, science policy experts say. This month, a rise in the minimum salary that international skilled workers must meet to obtain a visa took effect, coming on top of a sharp hike in the fee migrants must pay to access health care, as well as new restrictions on visas for family members.
The changes “will make it much harder for higher education institutions to attract talent from overseas,” says Jenny Sherrard, national head of equality and policy for the University and College Union (UCU). They are “counterproductive to the...
