International Clinical Trials Day

Today (May 20th)  is International Clinical Trials Day. Watch the new campaign video. And change something. bit.ly/1kkt686
Results from around half of all clinical trials have never been published. Information on what was found in these trials could be lost forever to doctors and researchers, leading to bad treatment decisions, missed opportunities for good medicine, and trials being repeated. The contributions of the hundreds of thousands of patients who took part in those trials remain unused and unusable.
Get 10 people to sign the AllTrials petition to make clinical trials count. Public pressure is already changing regulations and getting past trials published in some countries. You and everyone you know can join at alltrials.net and by sharing this video bit.ly/1kkt686
Please share the video with your networks via Twitter (#AllTrials), Facebook, in your newsletters and blogs. Can you put it on your organisation’s website?

Best wishes

Electronic Smog Disorients European Robins

The traffic reports on AM radio might help humans navigate, but the electromagnetic waves they travel on could have the opposite effect on birds. A 7-year investigation has discovered that radio waves disrupt the piloting systems of migratory European robins. The work, experts say, provides convincing evidence that such transmissions can alter animal behavior
