@tanvir_h My face when reading this as I went from "haha, that's such a funny analysis to do!" to "oh my goodness, the results of that analysis are actually appalling..."

Interested to see how the new HESA 2019/20 ethnicity data compares to data published in our @NatureGeosci paper?

Things are not improving. Poorer representation of all ethnic minority student groups in Geology/Earth Science postgraduate research (PGR) in 2019/20 than in 2018/19.

I know I’m a child but rotavaps have never been so much fun! 🤣 (it’s my lab and if I want ducks I’m having ducks! 😉)

#SciComm 101. I remember putting so much effort into learning complex terminology as my science career got more and more specialised. It's so easy to forget some "simple" terms can also have complex meanings that are interpreted differently by people outside of your specialism!

[Wellcome @wellcometrust]

When you talk about science, are you sure the words you are using don't mean something different to others? Here are five examples of scientific lingo to use with caution ❗️

"New mothers are nearly 3x as likely to leave their STEM careers when compared to new fathers or their childless peers." We lose so many amazing #WomenInSTEM because of this 😢
@mothersinsci provides resources & runs events to advocate for workplace equality for #MothersInScience

[Mothers in Science @mothersinsci]

COVID-19 has exposed systemic barriers holding back #MothersInScience and action must be taken to retain women and minorities in STEMM careers. Join us on May 5th to discuss how we can build a better system. Register now! https://t.co/cuBkagPfZC #MISconference2021

It's great to see universities like Birmingham and Edinburgh recently sign up to join the @BB_STEM University Alliance and support their #BlackInSTEM students and faculty! I hope this encourages other top UK universities to stop dragging their heels and join up too!

[Black British in STEM @BB_STEM]

We're very proud to welcome @unibirmingham to the BBSTEM University Alliance!

We're excited to be working with you to help make a difference and increase diversity in #STEM

Such a fab initiative for #WomenInSTEM! I took part in @SoapboxScienceOxf back in 2018 and it was such a great experience to build my #SciComm confidence. I hope the speakers for @SoapboxScienceMK 2021 have a fantastic time!

@samfrowe Everything about this is amazing🤣
I particularly enjoy the upside down vial of coloured liquid!

@BraintasticSci Aw, thank you 🥰

[StemUnlocked @StemUnlocked]

My feed has seemed so glum recently that I've set myself a challenge to try and cheer it/myself up by promoting a different #STEMAccess or #STEMInclusion initiative every week day this month. To remind myself that there are still a lot of people who are doing good in the world.

[StemUnlocked @StemUnlocked]

@reneewatson77 Haha, brill! But in all seriousness it's got to be @LGBTSTEMDay - I love discovering the amazing work of current and past scientists I haven't necessarily heard of before!

#Onthisday 60 years ago, Yuri Gagarin flew on the Soviet Union's Vostok spacecraft and became the first human to travel into space. His flight lasted 108 minutes as he completed one orbit around the Earth.
