Dear Mr. Clegg

I have started a business, selling the contents of your house

I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house

Without this access my company will not be profitable

Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree

Please advise how I should proceed

What is the future of personalised medicine?

First day at Bath Digital Festival @techsparkuk.bsky.social

Check out the latest in this video series I helped produce for @mrc-tu.bsky.social - exploring the latest developments in personalised medicine 👇

Thrilled to share the first in this series of behind-the-scenes documentary interviews with the incredible team from @mrc-tu.bsky.social

It was a privilege to film with this team and learn about their research first hand. Now you can watch it too - stay tuned throughout May! 👀

Ah the good old Paradox of Tolerance 🤦

If you're in the business of documenting or reporting on scientific information, how can your audience believe that the content you share is actually true if the imagery is fake?

I'd rather see something *real* over artificial slop any time.

🔥 Wednesday Hot Take 🔥

Gen-AI media has no place in communicating factual content

Removing access to funding that allows disabled people to have independence and dignity makes them *more* disabled. Not less.

This is your regular reminder that people are disabled by barriers in society, not by their impairment or condition.

Royal Society decides not to take disciplinary action against Elon Musk Exclusive: Fellows argue Musk has violated code of conduct but council believes investigation ‘could do more harm than good’

I’m finding it very hard to understand the stance of the Royal Society here. Science is part of society, not separate from it, existing in some strange metaphysical bubble. I look across the Atlantic, aghast at the damage being done to science and scientists.

Few museums deserve your support quite as much as the Vagina Museum.

If you have anything at all you can spare, please consider donating to keep this bricks and mortar museum operating.

THIRTY-THREE NEW SATURNIAN SATELLITES. AHAHAH.

THIRTY-FOUR NEW SATURNIAN SATELLITES. AHAHAH.

Sounds like a fabulous British Science Week! 😄

Really looking forward to going along to this again this year. Last year was really inspiring, and it's been great to see so many student projects now going on to do exciting things in the world!

There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience. No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent. And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted. ... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this

Thank you, Sarah 😊

Recently, @lightyear-fdn.bsky.social invited me to share my story of living with hearing loss and how it's influenced my career in STEM and communication.

Key takeaways:
- Get your legal agreements for shareholders in place early.
- Find a cofounder that compliments your skills.
- Establish your company culture and goals.
- Find someone who's equally passionate about solving the problem as you are.
- Be consistently honest and candid with one another
