Cheeky Scientist bills itself on its website as the “world’s premier career training platform for PhDs.”

However, many customers allege they were pushed into purchasing services they didn’t want, can’t afford, and haven’t used. https://t.co/mnvFQHDtNJ

[Chemjobber @Chemjobber]

Chemistry friends, you know me well. I am telling you in no uncertain terms, Cheeky Scientist is a bad company that should be stopped.

Do not use their services, and disrecommend them from your friends. Please read this article and pass this on.

Stop what you’re doing & read this!

Female ECR whoever you are, I salute you! I’m not sure I would’ve had the courage to speak up in a session like the one below.

What a horrible mess this topic is in for a Nobel prize winner to make a comment about feeling discriminated

[Giles Yeo @GilesYeo]

👇👀I mean... trying to get to 50:50 gender parity is not discriminating against men, any more than trying to achieve representative ethnic diversity is discriminating against white folk. I applaud the female ECR for standing up, particularly in that forum.
