‘Attempts to restrict knowledge creation or censor its dissemination—whether through limiting research topics, mandating or restricting specific language, or removing … data from government websites—undermine the core principles of scientific inquiry’ theplosblog.plos.org/2025/02/plos-s…

I get asked regularly whether I’ll be writing a book for a public audience based on my research and the answer is *yes*! I’m finalising the proposal this week. I hope you’re as excited for it as I am! 🥹 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Despite the weather, it was such a huge pleasure to be interviewed by Mousumi Bakshi 📣 for BBC News (UK) on my work, going viral, and why I’m still on social media despite being a dreadful introvert. Thanks also to videographer DJ McLaren and Mark Williamson for facilitating.

Special thanks also go to Professor Andy Parker, the Master of Peterhouse, for his time, and to Jennifer Richards, who has been such a rock for me these past few months.

So looking forward to learning about the Living with Machines collaboration. Join us next Friday, 13:00-14:00. Come meet Ruth Ahnert and colleagues. And bring your lunch!

An important watch. We congratulate Dr Ally Louks on groundbreaking work & commend her for the stand she takes 👏🏽 Great to see our chair Jennifer Richards BBC News (UK) also interviewed in support 👏🏽⬇️

Today a walk to the bulldozed and rebuilt site of HMP Holloway where our sisters suffered. I often think of them when I’m dashing past so today I’m going to stop and maybe find a place to leave something purple. Happy International Women’s Day.
