Did you know there's a starter pack to help you find people who've worked at the Crick? If you're on here and you'd like to be added, let us or @drbeth.bsky.social know!

Did you know that our Head of Library & Information Services at @crick.ac.uk published a book last year? A great resource for library staff to up their EDI game, but as it covers events, hiring etc. non-library ppl might also like it. If you're at the Crick, we've got a copy in reading corner.
