I’m on the podcast this week with one of the most vulnerable stories I have ever told: about my mum, my dream to be a scientist, and why I am the way I am 💙
Thanks so much Nick! ❤️ Exciting times!
🧪 The University of Edinburgh is seeking a Director for the Institute of Neuroscience and Cardiovascular Research
Thank you so much! Hope all's well!
Since I officially joined the Story Collider team in 2017, it's been such a joy to co-host live shows, teach workshops and share my own stories. I do hope you'll subscribe to our podcast and maybe even join us at a live show soon 🎤
The sharing of personal narratives about science is crucial - not only to show the importance of science and the humanity of scientists - but also to bring scientists a sense of belonging. I can't think of a more important time to step up and keep supporting these stories.
It's such an honour to have been elected President of The Story Collider's Board of Directors ✨ I told my first story back in 2013, and it's no exaggeration to say it changed the course of my career - and my life ❤️ 🧪

- When applying for a role, remember to highlight the academic skills you have that apply to science communication, such as teamwork, flexibility, collaboration, people management, etc.
- Connect with your values and what you are most passionate about to find a good fit. 🧵3/3
- Networking is important! Be intentional and connect with a message, and focus on genuine connections beyond just asking for things (although you can also ask for things - people love to help)!
- Build experience where you can, even if that means doing it in your spare time. 🧵2/3

Each Friday, I summarize what is happening to American science & higher ed. 🧪
This was Week 38:
- MIT declines loyalty oath/compact & I review latest at other 8 universities
- Newest RIFs gutting CDC
- “Payroll pirates” targeting university HR
& so much more buttondown.com/liminalcreat...
GOOD!
MIT officially rejects the compact/loyalty oath for higher ed. That’s 1 of 9. I hope we see many more announcements today.
