Announcing our November talk. Peter Hillen & Inga Heyman will be in the The BansheeLabyrinth, 7:30 Wed 6th Nov talking about Scotland's drug policy.


Great to be back at Edinburgh Skeptics Society last night, with a great talk from Peter Hillen and Inga Heyman about the use of naloxene by Police Scotland. In a week that has felt dark it was good to focus on a positive intervention and how research can make a difference in our communities.


Influence social change with your research by building relationships: Edinburgh Napier University researchers had to form relationships with a range of people when evaluating Police Scotland’s use of the drug naloxone. On #THECampus, Peter Hillen and Inga Heyman explain how they did it.
