Last week there was much talk about A Level results, far less about BTECs and T Levels. But these matter too... Today's blogpost More Than A Levels occamstypewriter.org/athenedonald/2…

As ways of working have changed, have we become more or less productive. Different studies give different answers. My thoughts on why occamstypewriter.org/athenedonald/2…

I’m proud to be one of 1,176 letter co-signatories calling on MPs to back the #CANBill in this week’s private members’ bill ballot. The time for science-led legislation to tackle the climate-nature crisis is now. Ed Miliband Steve Reed MP zerohour.uk/scientist_lett…

Be interested to know whether other senior women physicists identify with the characteristics described here: antisocial, performing masculinity....? Feels just more stereotyping #womeninstem onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

As a new (retired) life beckons, I'm doing a lot of things for the last time. Kind of bittersweet, while I wait for new challenges.....occamstypewriter.org/athenedonald/2…
