@GreatStrides65@DinahGLRoseKC@mcdermottkc_@WomenintheLawUK@sallypenni1@salfordbizsch What an illustration of just how far the judiciary still has to go to represent the public they serve. This relatively recent history of opaque appointment process (a tap on the shoulder?) goes some way to explain the stalling progress on improving ethnic & gender diversity.
Early career years are intimidating—there's so much that feels out of your control.
Here are the career principles I wish I knew when I was starting out:
@W_Asherah I’ve never seen it put this way, but it’s something I’ve experienced since I was a child. I’ve trained myself to ignore men saying no. @W_Asherah You’re amazing for a. spotting this pattern; and b. putting it so succinctly. #AcademicTwitter there’s a PhD/book book in that.
@oopsohno Same thing happened to me, but to be honest I expected it. The system is broken and work so precarious, researchers leaving hardly registers. 3 years into my transition, my new professional life is amazing. I loved academia, but law suits me better. Wishing you all the best!
On a survey of all male surgeons I know, a vast majority of them have partners who work part time:don’t work (I know some who’s partners do, but majority don’t)
Of female surgeons I know all their partners work full time
Let’s think about what this means for women in surgery?
I love good news. Congrats to my Mentee a mature student on starting her training contract. Good luck to all those searching for #pupillage and trainingcontracts keep going. She was defected from one organisation for being too friendly! @Gakinimod@CMS_law@WomenintheLawUK#girls
@allisongill@dailybeanspod@MuellerSheWrote AG, please get well soon. Keeping you in my thoughts and keeping my fingers crossed it’s nothing serious. You don’t know me, but I’ve listened to your pods for years. You inspired me to change careers and continue to inspire me every day.
Black people’s value to society and our right to be treated with dignity and respect should not be dependent on our success.
Rashford, Sancho and Saka are incredibly impressive, but racism is wrong regardless of who they are.
Black people don’t have to be heroes to have value.
