This International Day of Women and Girls in Science, join us in celebrating Professor Daphne Jackson - the first female Professor of Physics in the UK, placed at The University of Surrey. #WomenInSTEM #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience #WomenInScience #ResearchReturners

We love your work communicating our PSC research in plain English. Eternally grateful with @nickilott.bsky.social

Preparing a lecture on the #gutliveraxis for postgrad medical students from China.

Challenging my science communication skills hand in hand with AI as a teaching tool (a first for me)
- stress-test explanations for ESL audiences

This might be because it's a former school site with a current nursery school to one end. Seems like it could be eligible for a school street.

Do you know someone who needs support returning to research? @macularsociety.org are funding a Daphne Jackson Fellowship to be held at any UK university or research institute.

Please share with your network to get one more #ResearchReturner back to their career. daphnejackson.org/fellowship/m...

The campaign for a playground in Oxford city centre has taken a major step forward. Councillors voted this evening for a Green Party amendment to the city’s draft Local Plan, supporting “proposals which seek to make provision for play space within the City Centre”.

Like getting your Bunsen burner licence in secondary school!

I've wondered if, collectively, are we using the full allocation. Many users aren't using ther allocation. Is any "leftover" redistributed or does it just go down the drain?

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?

Developing film in a darkroom. #biochemistryinthenoughties Tying a knot in a strawberry lace in my mouth, no hands. #BrownieLeader #Girlguiding

That sounds like a fairly transferrable skill. An when the zombies come, you will be very useful!

Still in use. A colleague wrote their PhD thesis in it recently.

If bullying is going on in a school setting, it's unlikly to be related to the catering arrangments and much more likley to be about social factors for the bully.

FSM reach the child without them needing to know. They go to a till, select thier name from a list (in primary school) or pay with a PIN or fingerprint(secondary school). Their account has credit on it. I highly doubt anyone is being bullied exclusively becasue of receiving FSM. cont..

I should have done it earlier/younger

Unbelievable! How can this crap still be published?

On my way to the @daphnejacksontr.bsky.social Fellows meeting in York today.

Looking forward to being surrounded by #researchreturners and our supporters.

Follow up poo question from a #PooTrivia quizzer:

what happened if wombats got constipated please.  Do they produce much smaller, square cubes?  Does they poo stop being cubes and become sperical or longer?  Is this not an issue for wombats, due to their diet?

Some pics from our annual lab autumn walk! We went to the lovely Blenheim palace to get some steps in & enjoy the autumn leaves🍁🚶‍♀️🌳
