Narcissistic leaders are more appealing to young people with low self-esteem.
When we’re insecure, we often gravitate to big egos to fill the void. Supporting them makes us feel special—and makes them feel less threatened.
It's time to stop mistaking confidence for competence.
Your lungs make blood too. UCSF scientists just discovered lung stem cells that produce blood, just like bone marrow. This could change how we treat blood and immune disorders. https://t.co/7k7L9iOmDj
Whistleblowers pay an important role in uncovering misconduct at universities
Internal processes fail, senior management lie & cover up to save each other
It's happening everywhere from @Cambridge_Uni to @BoltonUni

Malignant narcissists feel most threatened by those people who have genuine moral integrity so they will attack their reputation and do their best to make the genuinely moral people who threaten them look like the bad guys.
I am currently working on my final-year dissertation on the impact of vaccines on pandemic outcomes.
As part of this, I am running a survey of adults resident in Wales (or who are temporarily living outside, e.g. as a student or temporary worker).
Please answer and share it as widely as you can!

A very interesting fact about narcissists/psychopaths….
They often have what I refer to as a ‘partner henchman’.
The partner henchman (PH) is groomed by the psychopath/narcissist to be so supremely grateful to the psychopath/narcissist for opportunities they have offered them and so entwined in the life of the psychopath/narcissist that they are compelled to support them no matter what.
This is not out of respect/consideration on behalf of the psychopath/narcissist for the PH, rather it is a tactic to decrease the risk of them being exposed and/or brought down.
One example of this might be a shy, undriven academic being pulled up on the shirttails of a narcissist/psychopathic prolific publisher academic. By co-authoring, the partner henchman is locked in.
The dark personality will do other things to further deepen that partner henchman sense of loyalty. For example, they may profess (lie) to be struggling with a health issue that they can only talk to the PH about, they might ask favours of them such as giving away their daughter at her wedding in the absence of a father.
The bond is like that of a creeping vine living on a tree.
Sometimes psychopaths/narcissists choose their child as a partner henchman. Sometimes they choose their wife/husband as a PH. Sometimes it might be a CEO choosing a CFO, treasurer or other financial specialist as a partner henchman (often in business the partner henchman is a financial specialist because the CEO is often engaged in nefarious activities they do not want exposed).
When you see 2 people that seem to present as a single force, this is a very, very strong red flag for a psychopath/narcissist.

Gracie has had an amazing experience this week filming for @BBCNewsround
Thank you so much to the team and @sim_manchester for being so welcoming and supportive - it helped Gracie be relaxed and to be honest, she seems like a complete Pro
She was thrilled to be filming at the Operation Ouch exhibition and interviewing Dr Xand (@xandvt ) and Dr Ronx. Both were so lovely and really great ambassadors for science communication!
Everyone should make a trip to visit the new exhibit!
VS is actually far more destructive to the sector than compulsory redundancies will be. It will result in random voids in capacity or else will skew toward some of the most valuable employees, especially in prof services who will simply leave the sector for a less insane employer
