Fantastic to be at @RoyalSociety yesterday discussing #Science2040 - asking what UK research could be like and how we get there, considering reaching representation, how the public see science, our place in the global system, and connections between industry and academia

. Ben Jones and @emmacattermole5 had an amazing time at The Francis Crick Institute Career Fest this morning! It was great to engage with so many academics about the diverse and exciting opportunities in science policy. Looking forward to seeing the impact we can make together! 🚀💬🔬

Come and work with me and Ben Jones!

The cost of visas for scientists at our research institutes is set to rise by 44% in a year. This will discourage scientists from coming to work in the UK and take vital funds away from our life-saving research. We’re calling on the new government to make its #First100Days a
