Whatever your views, the Cass Review was biased and political. These are important matters that affect people’s lives, and we deserve a government who will prioritise the truth over political gain. That’s why we need a new independent evaluation of the Cass Review

On top of that, we have a great coffee machine in the office! And if you like pop music (think Kylie, Gaga, Madonna) then this is the place for you! 🤓

In our lab, we believe that the best science happens when people feel happy & secure, & able to be open about who they are. Diversity in the lab also diversifies points of view, accelerating creativity, which is so important!

Yesterday was such a special day, being surrounded by LGBTQ+ immunologist from around the world, as well as allies. Over the years, many people have asked why we need these events, so here’s a couple of reasons 1/🧵 #LGBTQSTEM #Immunosky 🧪🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Was great to be in Manchester today, invited by @thestemvillage.bsky.social to talk about building a positive research culture! Fantastic day of lectures by LGBT+ and allied immunologists. If anyone wanted to join and couldn't, you can watch my talk here: www.listonlab.uk/blog/2024/11...

Making a starter pack of LGBTQ+ immunologists and need 8 people to create the pack. Don’t want to add people who haven’t requested to be added, so please let me know if you’d like including #Immunosky #PrideInSTEM 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Tomorrow is the International Day of Pride in STEM and to celebrate, we’re welcoming LGBTQ+ immunologists & allies to Manchester to share their groundbreaking research! What events are you organising or attending? #PrideInSTEM 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

So excited to see you there Tara!

We’ve worked tirelessly to finalise all the details are are now ready to welcome everyone on Monday! We can’t wait! @thestemvillage.bsky.social

✉️ Some science 🧪 buddies and I have written an open letter to the UK government, strongly opposing their “kicking woke ideology out of science” sentiments, which stand to damage the UK’s scientific standing and ability to deliver for public good. Please read and consider signing ✍🏻 t.co/H7rNzb0wGh

If you can donate, this is such a worthy cause!

Oh no, we'd better stop our queer immunology seminar series then... For crying out loud, this government are a disgusting mob, just desperate to distract from their gross incompetence/corruption by stoking their culture wars Screw that! Proud to be #LGBTQSTEM 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
