Back in June I cornered a bunch of members of our awesome Advisory Board to ask them a few questions. Here they are telling me what @scixcommunity.bsky.social means to them, for their research disciplines and communities. What a lovely bunch, and what a gorgeous office we have ๐Ÿฅฐ

Aw, thanks! Was fun to make. And so frustrating too! Talking about culture change in front of grid girls was LOLZ

Thatโ€™s so lovely to hear! The data shows improvement but as culture change is slow, sometimes you canโ€™t observe it as clearly. Iโ€™m really pleased though, and hope our little film can encourage a few more folks to get involved too.

On Track: The Changing World of Women in Engineering and Motorsport | FULL DOCUMENTARY
YouTube video by The Cosmic Shambles Network On Track: The Changing World of Women in Engineering and Motorsport | FULL DOCUMENTARY

How about an evidence-based documentary about women in engineering and motorsport? We launched it last week, and it was a wild year of filming and finding the right narrative, but also got to support some amazing UCL engineering interns who make up a HUGE part of the story! youtu.be/AcOLcB9lXw0?...

Off to #ChemUK to host The Big Debate, midday on Stage 2. Iโ€™ll be wringing all the best insights and expertise from a stellar panel of chemistry-related folks from across academia, publishing, funding and industry to ask what we need to do NOW to secure a future where the UKโ€™s chem scene can thrive.
