We are at it again! A *free* workshop for writers from underrepresented backgrounds to get to grips with tips and tricks from the world of science writing.
Please help spread to the word to the budding science writers in your life/twitter following.
Could scientists grow transplantable human kidneys in pigs? And can they find an ethical route by which to develop such technologies? My latest: The chimaera challenge https://t.co/ERJ1Yvah6A
In 1888, Catherine Impey founded Britain's first anti-racism periodical. She worked with Frederick Douglass, Ida B Wells and many others to try to change this country. That campaign grew in influence until it ended in tragedy, leaving a major, 'what if?' https://t.co/Z353I5e0c0

“I tried but gave up” Is that you? If you’ve fallen off the meditation bandwagon or think it a load of old pants, invest 99p for some amusing enlightenment.
The sun’s out, my late tulips are out and, today, in the US, The Brain Book is out. Introducing the nervous system to 5-9 year olds. I hope you like it, America!
A month to go before The Brain Book hits the shops. Hoping that this introduction to the brain that @dkbooks invited me to write will inspire and educate lots of 5-9 year olds. https://t.co/ykseKxsbjH
OVERLOADED is out TODAY!
@GinnySmithSci explores the important chemicals that run our brains and the roles they play in all aspects of our experiences, from how we make decisions, what we remember to basic survival drives such as hunger, fear and sleep.

Ever wondered how elite sportspeople strike a ball that's travelling at 100+ mph? And how you might train that skill? Turns out, it's not just about keeping your eye on the ball. My latest for @NatureOutlook https://t.co/s6RxNFRCen
My book made it to the sea! Aldeburgh is not exactly the abyss but it was so good to see the coast and one of my favourite seashells after months of lockdown. #TheBrilliantAbyss
As #marginalised people, many of us are living with an accumulation of a lifetime of trauma. I was racialised the moment I came to UK and EVERY DAY since. I've estimated, that over 23 years, I have been overtly #racialised ~8000 times - by strangers, colleagues & even friends.
Tomorrow my new book #TheBrilliantAbyss is released. I've been working on this one for more than 2 years and found a lot of things to tell you about the deep ocean. I hope you all like it.
