Excited to share my piece on photosynthesis and solar cells for @RoyalSocBio's The Biologist magazine. Thanks so much @Tom_J_Ireland for your help throughout the process!

Has #COVID19 had an impact on #globalwarming? Will the #pandemic alter #climatechange? @CalvertAnnabel has an answer for you: https://t.co/sctRuwg5ea

[Annabel Calvert @CalvertAnnabel]

@BBCNews This is actually explained in the linked article in @bbchealth (2/2)

[Annabel Calvert @CalvertAnnabel]

@BBCNews You can’t say COVID is three times deadlier than flu based on the fact that three times more people have died of COVID than flu this year- the deadliness of COVID vs flu is actually based on the proportion of people who die of COVID vs prop. of those who die of flu (1/2)

@TheScienzest @iamscicomm Thanks Sheema! The link to my blog is https://t.co/wtcDU1G7Pi 😊

[Annabel Calvert @CalvertAnnabel]

@iamscicomm blog (which I really need to update actually) and written an article for The Biologist magazine. I’m also looking for employment in a medcomms/science writing capacity at the moment, but finding it hard to get a foot in the door, so any tips you have would be super helpful! 😊

@iamscicomm Living for this thread! Since graduating with a biochem degree two years ago, I have been doing various part-time jobs while working out what I wanted to do- at the moment, I am a waitress at a local cafe. More recently I’ve discovered science writing, and have started a science

@JohnFinnemore Okay not sure if it’s on Netflix, but les revenants (the returned) is one of the best French dramas I’ve ever watched- it’s about dead people returning to a small alpine town, and is very poignant (plus mogwai composed the soundtrack- always a bonus)

As a 1918 flu scholar, I think it's insanely important to point out (now esp. given Dr. Fauci's statement today about "back to normal" by the end of 2021) ...

It's not going to be the same "normal" we left 6 months ago. (1/)

@SophieJVeigl Omg I’ve been doing this course too! Don’t worry there is so much still to come- I’m a bit further on than you but I think my personal favourite is בתוכי (inside me) which is put into a lot of, erm, interesting contexts 😂

When is it likely we will reach immunity to covid and see rates steadily decline? Science communicator Annabel Calvert has an answer:

@iamscicomm Sorry, this should probably say “what GMOs actually are”. This is where an edit button would come in handy @Twitter 😉

[Annabel Calvert @CalvertAnnabel]

@iamscicomm Not sure whether this would actually count as science denialism, but I see a lot of businesses touting being ‘anti-GMO’ and thus perpetuating the idea that GMO is somehow dangerous/harmful without explaining what it actually is

[Annabel Calvert @CalvertAnnabel]

@lr_bio @PLOSBiology @a16z I’m significantly less qualified than you but have been wondering the same! I think we place too much emphasis on lab work as the definition of a ‘scientist’; it’s really about how you think and not what you do

Annabel’s question of the week: Why are popular people on #LinkedIn not called LinkedInfluencers? 🤔

[Annabel Calvert @CalvertAnnabel]

Something I forgot to mention: at the moment there is a 1 in 4 chance that it'll be me who answers your question! But please don't let that put you off.

[Annabel Calvert @CalvertAnnabel]

Was planning to write my own tweet about this, but my OG @bourne_lizzy said it better, so

Still got questions about Covid-19? (if not please gimme a ring and explain it all to me) ... Ask your questions to this website and a team of scientists will try and give you the most accurate and up to date information.
