Academia be like

Different faces, same stand.

Loved being a part of the The Science Basement podcast hosted by Sujai Banerji and Rhiannon Newman. We chatted about textile waste, the social and environmental impacts of its management, the role of researchers/ consumers/ policymakers, and the need for reducing consumption.

I had no idea I would enjoy this workshop so much...i got to take apart an old discarded skirt and make it my own. also sewing machines are really cool😃

Somewhere between hubris & humility lies the Goldilocks zone where papers are published that one is excited to share. This paper is one of those! Also, huge thanks to the reviewers coz for once every round of revision just seemed to make the paper better. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

What role will the S-LCA play in the transition towards a circular economy? Anubhuti Bhatnagar, Anna Härri, Jarkko Levänen and Kirsi Niinimäki from Aalto University and LUT University 🚀 explored this concept in the latest review article: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This is a detailed thread on what happened at NEET 2024. While national election results were keeping everyone distracted, they published the results & expected to get away with major manipulation. These are medical entrance tests, lives will depend on these students!

I have witnessed this in every conference, research project, and site work. EU is probably the worst when it comes to denying visa to researchers. Most conference organisers have zero idea of the time and effort it takes for people to get these documents and the money wasted.

How can we tell fact from fiction when it comes to our health? 🤔 In our latest episode Rhiannon & Rose chat with Dr Paula Byrne, lead researcher at iHealthFacts, to discover how this platform helps separate truth from misinformation. Full episode here: tiny.cc/cwskzz
