Looks like pay scales for postdocs are going to need a rethink! A @UKRI_News funded postdoc coming in on the starting grade would not cross this threshold until their fourth year at my university (with most postdocs only being three years anyway)!

@TransportForWM as I have to pay to be able to message you, is there a way to have my swift card virtually on my phone so I just tap my phone at barriers?

@ilyas_alav Happily settled in Bham now, I won't be moving! An incredibly privileged take, apart from the loss of support networks, friendships and a life built, there are huge financial implications to moving every 3 years.

I really don’t understand academia’s obsession with being mobile. Why is it bad that I want stability in my life instead of changing institutions every few years? #AcademicChatter

A day at the MBPP conference at UOB. It's really nice to have the opportunity to keep up with plant pathology research even if I have changed fields for now! Also shoutout to the organisers for being accommodating of my sciatica. Yes, I'm sat on the floor 😆 @BS_PP

Got an E in A-level biology. A-levels didn't suit my learning style + parent death in second year. Now have a PhD and loving my early career as snr tech. Such a narrow minded take.

[Phil Baty @Phil_Baty]

Imagine a world where students’ prospects are not locked-in with A-levels at age 18 and where university can be a place for personal growth & development…

I currently work 4 days a week (75% fte) and has done wonders for my mental health since my PhD.

[4 Day Week Foundation @4Day_Week]

IT WORKS.

⁃ 92% of companies keep it
⁃ Burnout down by 71%
⁃ Sick days down by 65%
⁃ Revenue up 1.4% on avg.

No question about it - the UK’s 4-day week trial was a 𝙝𝙪𝙜𝙚 success.

It’s time for the 4-day week to go mainstream.

#4DayWeek

[Dr Lisa King @Lisa_King_]

Can confirm this would be a great project to work on! And a great lab group to be part of 😊
