@Conservatives @michelledonelan This is the most stupid political poster I have ever seen, @michelledonelan the entire scientific community is laughing at you! You've got a BA in History and Politics so the audacity to claim you know anything about science in the UK is hilarious.

@UoM_ITS is remote desktop affected? I can't seem to log in

[Sian Thistlethwaite @SianThistle]

@UoM_ITS any update on the VPN? mine still isn't working

[Sian Thistlethwaite @SianThistle]

Not an ideal time for a fb outage when I have a friend visiting in Montreal who doesn't have a canadian SIM! Going retro with the hotmail e-mails.

@UoNYES 2020 finished, congratulations to the finalists AER and Pipeline organics! Plastase tech are now having a good old zoom debrief with some beers!

[Sian Thistlethwaite @SianThistle]

@UoNYES Business pitch over and done with for Plastase Tech, we are very happy with the presentation of our global business model and I think we managed to avoid the first on judges grilling curse! Proud of our team, well done guys @I_Am_Florence Alex, Aoife and Emilie!

[Sian Thistlethwaite @SianThistle]

@Agari_Ltd @UoNYES Thanks team Agari and good luck in your pitch! Plastic problem tackling is clearly all the rage in 2k21!

[Agari @Agari_Ltd]

Great pitch from the first team! Another plastic idea! 😄 #plasticpollution #YES20 #BiotechYES #UnleashYourIngenuity @UoNYES

[YES (Your Entrepreneurs Scheme) @UoNYES]

Plastic waste is one of the defining ecological crisis of our time. Plastase Technologies @OfficialUoM are committed to developing a sustainable plastic recycling system using enzymes. #YES20 #UnleashYourIngenuity 💚👏 @Laura_Etchells

[Sian Thistlethwaite @SianThistle]

@CharlieTSwan @UoNYES @MySealium Look forward to some healthy competition from us guys at Plastase technologies!

@RichardSmeeton @UoNYES @simonbayly We've got a snappy name AND a snappy logo!

[Sian Thistlethwaite @SianThistle]

Prepping for the @UoNYES competition tomorrow (Biotech energy, engineering and environment theme). Our teams business model is based on future plastic degrading enzymes, an exciting idea that we all wish was actually real!

[Sian Thistlethwaite @SianThistle]

@Katiegracee24 I supervised a master's project last year, I'd say have a grasp on a vague week by week plan for them but allow them some academic freedom and mould the project so they can choose to learn new techniques!

Done.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

But when we asked you to do that for the lowest-paid people in the North, you refused. People here will remember that.

[Sian Thistlethwaite @SianThistle]

Surprising how much people on twitter have twisted the truth

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I have fought for the ability to support low-paid people and businesses who will be most harmed by Tier 3 closures. Simple as that. Please don’t misrepresent my position.

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

In ten years in Parliament I’ve never seen anything like this. MPs are on a call with the Health Secretary being told Greater Manchester is getting only £22m while our Mayor is at a press conference being told by the media. This is bad faith, it’s immoral - just disgraceful

@AndyBurnhamGM fighting back against Tier 3 #KingOfTheNorth

[Sian Thistlethwaite @SianThistle]

@aleddeakin Good observation Aled, I too felt like one assessor was trying to trip me up even though I had good answers to most questions! I wish there was more constructive criticism of my work over the lambasting. This intimidating approach can put many off pursuing an academic career.

[Sian Thistlethwaite @SianThistle]

@UoNYES Excellent thank you!

[Sian Thistlethwaite @SianThistle]

Excited to be taking part in @UoNYES 2020, a competition for early career researchers based on taking fresh #STEM ideas to commercialisation. My team have chosen the Energy, Engineering and Environment theme, for which new ideas are crucial in today's society.
