all-time favorite person in space lore: Katherine Johnson - a literal calculator, contributing to putting the first US astronaut in space. all in the crushing social climate of the 60s. untold for nearly half a century, her story is one of the most iconic in science history 👑

this decade-long experiment in creating a market for students has been a disaster for education. working conditions unliveable. universities' global reputations decline aiming for bums on seats and fees in coffers above all else has caused immense and entirely predictable harms

Just to clarify for academics not in the UK. It is not just that our pensions have been unreasonably + unjustifiably slashed, it is that this has happened on top of: 1. increased casualisation + precarity 2. increasing workloads 3. leaving staff not being replaced 1/8

Is academia the only job where people are hired for the science they do, then we don't let them do that any more but give them a completely different job with no training or support?

A Nigerian medical student at Poland/Ukraine border (Medyka-Shehyni) told me she has been waiting 7hrs to cross, she says border guards are stopping black people and sending them to the back of the queue, saying they have to let 'Ukrainians' through first.

I was accepted in a PhD program!! Me! This Black boy from the south— the one that was told he was a failure and would never amount to anything. I beat the odds of what they said I’d be as a Black man. My Black is resilient and unwavering. I am Black history in the making.

Words of wisdom from pioneering neurologist Rita Levi-Montalcini. Levi-Montalcini was 103 years old when she passed away in 2012 - the longest-living Nobel Prize laureate ever. This clip is from an interview when she was 99 years old: bit.ly/372ECUh #IWD2022

A story. Once upon a time I got invited to do a lecture on LGBT+ representation in STEM at a very prestigious university. I travelled across the country and arrived, as planned, an hour before my lecture. My host was busy so I was shuffled off to the Deputy Director of Teaching.

Having seen this do incredible numbers, I also want to share 3 examples of best practice to point out that it really doesn't have to be like this. 1. University of Liverpool - who cared about #LGBTinSTEM before anybody else and hosted an amazing event - the first I ever gave.

Word of the day is ‘battologist’ (17th century): an individual who repeats the same story over and over, even when all the facts contradict them.
