New study finds discrimination against women and racial minorities in hiring in the sciences New study finds discrimination against women and racial minorities in hiring in the sciences. The study's about postdocs, but it has important implications for all of academe.

Professions who believe they deal with "facts" are just as prone to bias as everyone else when it comes to hiring.

Honoured to be recognised by the #CaribbeanGlobalAwards. Looking forward to celebrating on 27th September

This is so powerful. It shows the power we to make a situation, a person or a team's life better or worse by the way we respond or react. It doesn't cost to be kind and supportive. Being mean and destructive impacts everyone negatively, not just the intended victim.

Nice to pop onto @thefabians.bsky.social summer reception. Great discussion with @harrietharman.bsky.social and @taiwoowatemi.bsky.social

Colorful quilt of a nighttime scene with Harriet Tubman in an orange jacket and purple dress carrying a rifle. She is leading other figures who walk behind her.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

State assisted suicide passed with a majority of just 23 votes.

I voted against. I dont feel that this bill is fit for purpose. A very somber mood for many.

Raised a Point of Order to withdraw my 10 Minute Rule Bill on protecting the title of nurse…

Because my bill has been accepted by @labouruk.bsky.social! Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign #ProtectNurse no time to mention everyone but managed a few inc @rcn.org.uk and @unison.org.uk

We fought for years to end the misuse of the title, now it will happen.

Thank you Alison Leary and Casper Town and to the #ProtectNurse campaign & Ann Keen for inspiration.

And my co-sponsors Paulette Hamilton, Tulip Siddiq, Sharon Hodgson, @barry.gardiner.mp, Jo Cambell and Clive Lewis MP 🙏🏾

Congratulations! Well done

🚨 We did it — we’re changing the law!

So happy to say, on #InternationalNursesDay, that the Labour Government is adopting my Bill to legally protect the job title ‘Nurse’. 🥳

It will keep patients safe & ensure respect for the profession. Huge congrats #protectnurse👏🏾

@joanmyers.bsky.social Hi Joan 👋 I don't know if you've seen this event on Thurs at HQ. Kandace has done a really good job on this childrens' book - a much needed celebration 💙

For something different. Alaska mushrooms! When I moved to AK over 15 years ago one of the first things I became fascinated with were the mushroom. I'm not an expert at naming them (I'm learning), but I have expert skills in laying on my belly to photograph them. Pro tip, wear rain gear.
