It's been energizing talking with folks about #censorship and how we can combat it! Thanks to @rouhiroo.bsky.social, @alicemeadows.bsky.social, and @funsizesuze.bsky.social for getting the message out! #DefendResearch #Action #Academia #SciSky #ScholComm

It’s beginning to look a lot like #NineLessons 🤩

Super excited to hear from my fellow panellists 🤩 #CharlestonInBetween

It’s all kicking off at @chashub.bsky.social #CharlestonInBetween here in Berlin - plates smashing in response to the opening session 😅 I’m joining the next panel on Libraries Under Attack. Should I wear PPE? Who has risk assessed this event?! 😂

NEW DOCUMENTARY TRAILER: Only 15% of the engineering workforce worldwide is made up on women, and in the motorsport industry that drops to an unbelievable 3%. In this new documentary we take a look at why that is and how it's changing. Out July 10th presented by @funsizesuze.bsky.social

Off to #ChemUK to host The Big Debate, midday on Stage 2. I’ll be wringing all the best insights and expertise from a stellar panel of chemistry-related folks from across academia, publishing, funding and industry to ask what we need to do NOW to secure a future where the UK’s chem scene can thrive.

An honour and a pleasure to judge a category in the @absw.bsky.social awards again this year - and with my hero and friend @philipcball.bsky.social, no less! Congratulations to all entrants and those shortlisted. See you all at the Finals at @ri-science.bsky.social in July. Grab your tickets now!

A timely reminder from @alicemeadows.bsky.social and @funsizesuze.bsky.social on the eve of the Workers' Holiday that we are more powerful when we work together. #DefendResearch scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/04/30/t...

Today in @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social @funsizesuze.bsky.social & I share some thoughts on how we can turn Trump's threats to research into opportunities - if we all - #funders #libraries #publishers #researchers & more - work together to #DefendResearch scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/04/30/t...

Had a lot of fun at the London final of #FameLab yesterday. Unfortunately as the runner up I won't be at the national final, but I did win the audience vote! Thanks for the kind words and advice from the judges @robinince.bsky.social, @funsizesuze.bsky.social, and @catherineloveday.bsky.social.

🚀 New job alert! I’ve joined NASA’s Science Explorer (@scixcommunity.bsky.social) team as a community engagement consultant! This dream gig combines open science, space research and epic infrastructure. 💫 More #SciX news soon – and yes, more themed nails too! #OpenScience #NASA #ScienceCommunication

Hero.

NEXT FRIDAY! San Francisco. I'll be there. @standupforscience.bsky.social #StandUpforScience #SciComm #Science

I’m organizing a Standout for Parks this Saturday, 2/22, 12-1:30 at the Sam Adams statue by Faneuil Hall in #Boston if you’re nearby. Spread the word!

Get involved, folks.

Here's what we know about the recent layoffs at federal agencies and the ripple effects they're expected to have on US science. cen.acs.org/careers/empl... #chemsky🧪

“This is truly a national tragedy and one that is being executed by people who do not understand the value of scientific research.” 🧪 from @science.org

Come see what we’ve been up to at Birmingham Hippodrome on 6th March… only a few tickets left! www.birminghamhippodrome.com/calendar/new...

What a venue! So excited for this. Wait until you see the scientists that are taking part! I can’t wait to hear all about their work, and you can ask them anything too! Join us in Swindon, aka the home of UK science funding, on Saturday for some I’m A Scientist frolics 🤩

Anyone who says that money can’t buy happiness has never paid an adoption fee. Have a great Wednesday

It’s the year of the snake - surely Rep TV is gonna drop soon?!

🌟 NEW: Applied Invention founder Dr Danny Hillis speaks about the evolution of #AI, its history & what we can expect in the future. It's the latest in @funsizesuze.bsky.social's fascinating TL;DR Shorts series - see the video: www.digital-science.com/tldr/article... #ArtificialIntelligence #GenAI

In case you missed it: 2024 was the world's warmest year since @noaa.gov records began in 1850. Global surface temperature was 2.32°F (1.29°C) above the 20th-century average. The 10 warmest years since 1850 have all occurred in the past decade.

Quite a lot more transphobes and other trolls showing up here, so remember to report and block and then never ever think about them again so theny shrink into the corncobs they are

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

All I'm saying, @royalsociety.org, is that your one of your Fellows giving Nazi salutes is never going to be a good look for you.

The great @edgarmcgregor.bsky.social, who studied climate science and has been cleaning up the park daily in Altadena for more than five years, saved hundreds of his neighbors' lives by warning them about the deadly fire. Must read. localnewspasadena.com/2025/how-two...

HUGE: The Biden-Harris Administration has taken action to provide needed student loan debt relief to more than 5 million borrowers, including public servants, students with disabilities, and students who were defrauded by predatory institutions. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A useful thread about an awful string of revelations that have come out about someone whose work I used to like. The Vulture article itself is an horrific read, you have been warned. Check out the thread while I make more room on the library “sh*t-shelf” for “people who should have behaved better”.

It’s 2025, and time for some interesting changes in our global political landscape. With truth, trust and engagement with research at risk, #ScienceJournalism plays a vital role in helping us identify what is real, and how research really impacts our reality.

Is there a German word for the sadness and emptiness you irrationally experience after you take down your Christmas decorations? Because there should be as that feeling is OH SO REAL. This one is helping make it better though 🥰 Panettone and mulled wine helping also.

Me and a bottle of Baileys are also enjoying this rollercoaster!

Includes a sneaky peek photo of us filming on-location for our documentary on women in engineering, coming to you in 2025, and a whole host of other adventures. Check it out!

@arjunmittra.bsky.social hey buddy! Just bumped into your lovely colleague Heather Johnson in Ikea of all places, which prompted me to send you a quick hello, as of course we bonded over our mutual respect for you. She mentioned a Burns Night fundraiser? Send me details! Hope you’re well.

Jimmy Carter was the only US President to have lived in public housing. He lived a life of service and consequence. May he rest in peace.

Just discovered the term “Generation Catalano” and am adopting that over Elder Millennial immediately. All my fellow mid-80s babies, are you with me?!
