NEC hears of another Supreme Court win for UNISON
UNISON’s national executive council, meeting yesterday, heard that the union had just won the case of Fiona Mercer in the Supreme Court. General secretary Christina McAnea said that it means that, “today, the court has agreed that the (UK) law is incompatible with international law, because it does not protect workers from ongoing victimisation by employers if they have taken legal industrial action”.
The case had been won in the employment appeal tribunal, but the then business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng intervened and took the case to the Court of Appeal, which subsequently decided to reverse that decision in March 2...

PET/MRI reveals sex differences in patients with autism
PET/MRI shows that young women with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have increased brain metabolism associated with translocator protein (TSPO), a group from Harvard University in Boston has reported.

The finding adds to current scarce knowledge about molecular markers in these patients, noted lead author Chieh-En Jane Tseng, PhD, and colleagues.
