Hello Bluesky, we’ve finally migrated and look forward to connecting with everyone here! We’re also having a Town Hall next week. Please register here and share with anyone who may want to reconnect or learn more about our group: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

You don't have to sit around waiting for things to get better amid a sea of bad news! Making the world better takes effort from each of us, and sometimes that can be as little as supporting those working hard to support others, like Spark Space. Kick in $5 or $10: chuffed.org/project/spar...

Hello hello 👋🏾 share if you can see this. This young dad is struggling to keep his kids in Gz & his son in Egypt fed. Don’t feel hopeless in the face of this - every 5 / share helps. Last check, we’ve only gotten 49/250 in a WEEK. We're matching 250.

8 hours to go 🚨 we have stagnated again while SO close to the goal. Most of us just paid our taxes which are funding bombardment, famine, & more. We owe it to these families. Secure them flour & other essentials. They are out of food. 574/700. chuffed.org/project/save...

Happy May Day! On this labour day, we write about labour of community healthcare workers in South Asia, India's ASHAs, Nepal's FCHVs and Pakistan's LHWs, and their struggles to get recognized. @plosglobalpublichealth.org @madhupai.bsky.social @plos.org speakingofmedicine.plos.org/2025/04/30/r...

Time is of the essence and we need to fight the EHRC interim guidance before it becomes statutory and Parliament make it law. Don’t just shout about it, write to them. Also tell the media, if you can get them to care. I’ve posted this on Instagram. Speak to your unions and staff networks at work

Update from AlAbbasiya Community Kitchen, which provides meals to hundreds of families in Omdurman daily. They've had to start a new contribution page: chuffed.org/project/1267... If you can, please consider contributing. They are keeping hundreds of families from starving. #KeepEyesOnSudan

I wrote about how we must stand and fight against the threat of eugenics. Fueled by white nationalism and scientific racism, these beliefs are factually wrong and ethically abhorrent. This fight includes supporting efforts to diversify our workforce & science. To stop now would be a deep betrayal.

Excitingly, have had a second #STS & #SciEd paper published this week at CSSE - this one on the subversive potential of zines in space science education 🚀 📖 - rdcu.be/eiQbR

Want to contact your MP about the Supreme Court ruling? @transsolidarity.bsky.social has created an MP letter template to help get you started docs.google.com/document/d/1... 🙂💪

Hi friends, has anyone built a website for their professional profile who would be willing to share any advice?

No support in 4 weeks but things have gotten worse, with the team paying out of pocket to keep things running. This is not a business. It’s a lifeline for families to get income through remote jobs (which don’t stop under b-mbing). Chip in & share: chuffed.org/project/spar...

Want to help the organizers of Spark Space provide students, remote workers, and others with the internet and electricity they need to learn, work, and support their families? Share and donate if you can to keep this space running: chuffed.org/project/spar...

Came across a familiar friendly face in an old issue of the Imperial magazine @dgaboriau.bsky.social Lovely to see the FILM facility team being celebrated! I have very fond memories and huge gratitude for the guidance they gave me during my PhD 🔬 #microscopy

All 27 scientists at this CDC lab were told their duties were "unnecessary," and now viral outbreak investigations have been halted.

No trans people were consulted on this decision that only affects trans people. In fact trans people were actively barred from consulting on this decision that only affects trans people. But transphobic bigots? Oh they got consulted for days. Fucking grim. I'm absolutely fuming.

We know today may feel especially heavy for our trans and non-binary siblings. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or affected by the UK Supreme Court’s decision, please know you’re not alone. We’re here for you every day from 10am to 10pm. #TransRights #Trans #NonBinary #SupremeCourt #Gender

Please share in your networks. Goldsmiths, UoL are offering 5 scholarships in Undergrad & MA courses for Palestinian students. The scholarships include: tuition fee waiver, £19,550 allowance, return trip to & from the UK. Eligibility details & further info at link👇🏽 www.gold.ac.uk/fees-funding...

For 72 hours we’re addressing a major health emergency🚨 ➡️ You’ve helped these families in Jabalia with food, medicine, & more. The team now plans to fuel a truck to remove waste which is a SERIOUS health hazard for these vulnerable folks. ➡️ 40/700 chuffed.org/project/save...

Obviously things have got dramatically worse in the US recently, and I don't want to diminish that, but I've been at *so many* conferences in the UK on topics like empire, humanitarianism and development where multiple speakers from the Global South have been denied visas or held at the border

Please share - we have a modest goal to keep this family fed, which isn’t a hopeless task 👋🏾 Akram is doing his very best to help his young sisters & brother and their mom survive mass starvation, bombardment, and displacement. It’s our duty—even €5.

Disabled people have spoken of their anger, frustration and fear – and sense of betrayal by the Labour government – over plans to cut billions of pounds from disability benefits, as they protested outside Downing Street yesterday.

🔔 REMINDER: we're seeking a consultant to deliver our 'Determinants and Root Causes' report. ⤵️

🚨Tell Wes Streeting - Palantir out of our NHS! Palantir enables Israel’s genocide and apartheid against Palestinians, yet it’s been given a HUGE contract to create a platform to manage NHS patient data. Tell Wes Streeting to cancel the contract: palestinecampaign.eaction.online/palantirnhs (1/7)

I’m posting this every 4 hours due to urgency 🚨 a friend has been supporting families in Jabalia with mutual aid & needs your help now more than ever! PP (preferred for speed): divyamper, note "J" Chuffed: chuffed.org/project/save... Accountability: tiny.cc/JP-Accountab...

Israel attacked at dawn on Tuesday, as forcibly displaced Palestinians across Gaza were sleeping, killing at least 436 people in 100 simultaneous air attacks across the enclave. How Israel's deadly attack happened aje.io/xn31an

Academics, boost this initiative that gives university students a FREE, safe place to connect to their university classes remotely! These are not only overseas degrees but degrees STILL BEING RUN by Palestinian university committees from Gaza & WB—despite the physical loss of universities in Gaza!

Alongside the above I also offer science communication and public engagement training. I am now looking to book more work. If my work interests you, you can see more information and contact me via my website: www.sarahcosgriff.com

A challenge for Ramadan ‼️ today’s drive is to keep the lights on at this community workspace offering free internet & electricity for students. They’ve asked us to raise £550 by Saturday to keep operating. A modest ask in 3 days - I believe in us!💡 https://chuffed.org/project/spark-space-gaza

As Labour push through their assisted suicide bill, Ellen Clifford explains the threats this legislation poses to disabled people, as well as where it sits in a broader history of oppression. EPISODE 74: THE ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL w/ Ellen Clifford LINK BELOW!

This is a brilliant idea by @shaunoboyle.bsky.social. If you had some resources, talks, videos, art do get in touch with me or @prideinstem.bsky.social and we can work something!

Good. ✊🏼

I’ve heard great things about Deborah carr’s textbook - art and science of social research

#AcademicSky #MedSky #ScienceSky #STS

I'm looking for recommendations for texts/resources providing an intro to social science methods - can anyone help? Bonus if they focus on social justice, health/medicine, or science and technology studies 🙌🏾

The occupation is STILL blocking entry of aid, including temp housing. Given this scarcity, we have an opportunity to make a huge difference for this family in need of shelter, essential goods, & access to electricity. We’re matching the next €300! https://tiny.cc/HelpMohamed

With the recent announcement of plans to demolish Grenfell tower (and the lack of consultation with the community), it is ever important to understand how this massacre was enabled in the first place. Red Medicine always do a solid job of unpacking the ways our political economy shapes health.

We're looking to work with an early career researcher. Deadline to apply is 27 February 2025. More info: jobs.gold.ac.uk/vacancy/rese...

Tonight we're getting a survival fund out of stagnation. This family of 13 returned north last week where there are NO essentials and where most people only have the rubble of their homes. They need our belief & boldness. 1-13 folks can meet the short goal of 131 today!
