What software engineers do outside of work: Story time! After breaking my leg and requiring surgery, I now need announcements for everyone to get out of my way when I move around the house. The husband has decided to make Alexa start playing the Ster Trek theme every time I'm mobile.

Dr. @samicat1990.bsky.social, Dr. @xtallokitty808.bsky.social and Cassie are attending a workshop about building a comprehensive and coordinated training landscape for dRTPs! Cassie has been very interested in dRTPs for a while so we couldn't miss this workshop at all!

We're so glad to have wonderful, brilliant people like @samicat1990.bsky.social, @xtallokitty808.bsky.social, Isobel Stark, Simon Coles, @jwbaker.bsky.social and Simon Hettrick be part of the team! Above all, we're thankful to everyone who has been part of our ongoing journey and to our followers.

📢 Come work with us! The Open Research Manager is a reformulated role in our team - it would suit someone with a strong research support background, but I'm happy to chat to anyone about the role and criteria.

You sure about this, Google?

When youths play reggaeton really loudly on their phone speakers on a train, am I allowed to go sit next to them and blast out 'lady in red' by Chris de Burgh?

If I was running across the top of a train like they do in the movies, I would absolutely trip over these things here.

Because of REF and similar

Best concatenation ever

Birth rates are dropping because capitalism makes children a poor return on investment.

Does anyone know if Katie Ledecky and Lotte Kopecky have ever met, and did the world implode?

VE day stuff starts today. Prepare thyself for endless Union Jack bunting in various colourways. You can survive this, I believe in you.

#dustycats #kittybellies #cats I took a bunch of videos on WhatsApp of cats I saw on my morning walk and it's been overlaid with the music that I was listening to at the time, which just makes it so much better. 🧵

Just pressure washed the driveway. Mistakes have been made during this year's spring cleaning. #springcleaning

TANKS!!! Went to Tiger Day, also saw a cheeky little FT-17 whilst I was there.

@jamessteeleii.bsky.social @atkorzeniowska.bsky.social the undisputed star of today faceplanted on the sofa then tried to style it out like he'd meant to do it

Planning my bike trip holiday. Calais to Chateau Gaillard, then Chateau Gaillard to musee des blindes. And what the fresh hell is this hill? Do I just have to cycle up a wall? Blanche is an old lady bike, she can't do that. #cycling #vexin #bikepacking

Why are women's 'I thinks', 'maybes', and other hedging language often interpreted differently in STEM or other male-dominated fields? My latest post examines how bias affects the reception of women's ideas. 🧪🥽🍎👩‍🔬🧬⚛️ #scicomm drmarissacivic.substack.com/p/anecdote-a...

Me and countless other authors today…😂

Just a quick pause to say: historians are the best.

Why Terry Pratchett was a God amongst men. Side note: why are none of his books on GCSE required reading lists? Mort at least should be on there.

Can we all just appreciate that Tusk made the effort and turned up to show support, even though his leg is in a brace? What a champ.

Can confirm that he has zero regrets.

Spent ages putting in new fancy schmancy curtains, what does this little shit go and do? Does a massive, wet sneeze on them.

BOOK REVIEW: I bought this book on a whim in Waterstones because I love books about cycling. But it's not really about cycling. Literary ramble on inter-war France, occupied German territories, and the rise of the far-right across Europe in the 1920s. 10/10, would buy again. Haribo approved.

Hot take: Trump doesn't actually want the mineral deal to happen and didn't expect Zelenskyy to sit down with him.

This.

This is one reason why I encourage all my trainees to do at least one meta-analysis. It changes the way you report your results because you'll never forget tearing your hair out trying to calculate effect sizes and variances from papers that don't report their results in sufficient detail

If you've ever wondered what librarians talk about between themselves, then look behind the curtain...

Haribo says goodnight to everyone!

I remember being told that sequencing the genome was going to unlock EVERYTHING and make our dreams possible. I now know that the below is so painfully accurate.

Just read a news article that used the terms 'migrant' and 'refugee' interchangeably. Can we not, please? My family were refugees because they might die if they stayed. I have been an immigrant because I wanted a job. I appreciate that I am privileged, but conflating these is unhelpful.

Everyone in Central Europe right now

The peer review process is broken. It expects too much free labour from people who are already stressed and time poor. Alternative systems, like publish-review-curate, present an attractive option to renew trust in the academic process.

I need this to be a thing. The emotional support honey badger would be the outspoken side kick to my repressed passive-aggressiveness.
