Great to see the work of MRC CMM discussed in the House of Commons thanks to @steveracemp ! @neil_gow @ExeterMed @ExeterBRC

SSteve Race MP 💙💛@steveracemp · May 24

I spoke in the House of Commoons about the vital work of ⁦@gavi⁩ and ⁦@GlobalFund⁩, the role they play in saving lives - and the role that #Exeter has in helping them. Exeter’s science centre earns praise in Commons - Exeter Today exetertoday.co.uk/news/local-new…

Great venue here in Dublin for the 17th ECFG. Mind you, they should slacked off the support wires of the bridge outside. Seems to be playing havoc with the venue foundations! #ecfg17; ⁦@eurconfmedmycol⁩
