I'm proud to share the first in a three-part series that I've been lead writer on for Nature Careers. The series reports on a massive global survey of postdocs done earlier this year by Nature. This first instalment: A curious rise in optimism. nature.com/articles/d4158…

The group behind the #openaccess #Plan_S launches a 'scholar-led' vision for science publishing: all open articles & peer reviews, authors decide when + where to publish [no jrnl gatekeeping], no fees for authors or readers. by @layallivs | nature nature.com/articles/d4158…

Here's a story I wrote about 'How to find meaning in your science career'. I spoke with philosophers, economists and other social scientists about how researchers can find work that's worthwhile to them - and the world. (They all had different answers!) 👇 nature.com/articles/d4158…

Science video people - wanna do my job for a year? Making mini science docs for YouTube is very rewarding - from interviewing researchers, to writing scripts to doing funky edits with found footage and music - a brilliant combo of nerdy and creative! careers.springernature.com/job/London-Loc…

I wrote for @nature about the science of protests - do they work? Research says yes: protests can influence media coverage, public opinion, policy and voting.💪 More effective protests tend to be large, non-violent and with unified goals. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Can AI help review the scientific literature? I investigated this for @nature AI tools are speeding up production of good quality reviews – which can otherwise take months to produce - but they could also lead to more inaccurate & misleading reviews. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Having political leaders who are receptive to science is one essential ingredient for effective science advice. Another is having people who can deliver it well. This @nature editorial argues for training scientists in the art of science advice nature.com/articles/d4158…
