All the academia people are frantically trying to finish their manuscripts so these can just lay down on somebody else's desk over the holidays. So am I. I was so into it that I tried to message my partner about lunch by typing his name into Google Search instead of Messenger 🤦‍♀️

Pro tip for early career #researchers / #students who feel anxious about asking questions after a #lecture : Sit in the front row. Most of the audience will be behind you, and you won't feel so exposed. It worked for me! :) #academia #science #scientist Academic Chatter™

Amazing talk by brilliant Emma Teeling , one of the forces behind Bat1k Genome Project ,who were talking about her new research on the best mammal ever #bat 🦇 but also mentioned some work from our Nature paper (and my #ERV work too!) #BSI23 #bsicongress #WomenInSTEM

With another poster today! Presenting on behalf of one of the DPhil students who cannot be here because he is in Nepal! Similar topic. Also sporting my ‘Women of Science’ t-shirt. #BSI23

Day 2 (2.5?🤔) of the #bsicongress Excellent session about funding research projects. Thank you #BSI23 and all the speakers :) #science #scientist

The UK is back in the Horizon family. A win-win for global scientific progress.

‘Research culture: driving positive change’ session at the #BSI23 More than half a room left when the session started after #postdoc short talks :( it was brilliant and I think one of the most important parts of the programme. So very sad people are not realising that. #science

Current starting point for postdoc salaries University of Oxford just over £36k - £2.7K under threshold. According to The Royal Society 62% of postdocs are non-UK nationals (5/6 in my lab). Two things: (i) postdocs are underpaid; (ii) UK science is screwed

Barbara McClintock is my idol so I was stoked to write this piece commemorating the 40-year anniversary of her Nobel Prize for the discovery of mobile genetic elements. What a legacy! Still so much we need to understand about these most fascinating elements!
