The BBC invited me to talk about Al-Aqsa, but *of course* had two “experts” (who I didn’t know were gonna be there) condescend to me about rockets instead.

@joshbakerstory I just learned it will be on BBC World News next Sunday, which means I can watch it outside the UK... can't wait! The podcast is excellent, as expected 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@astro_alexandra "he's being potty-trained, so you might have to go to the bathroom and clean him at some point." 💩
Not that it makes a difference, but I was his most senior postdoc at the time. I've now left academia ✌🏽.

@astro_alexandra From the top of my head... my (male) PhD supervisor asking me what I wore to a conference after I told him a lot of people came to me to praise my work. Or when my (male) boss brought his grandchild to work and gave him to me to babysit while he gave a lecture, saying:

The best women, the best memories.
I remember when someone told me "of course you're in the Dickenson lab... 😏" - yes, because I'm a good scientist 🙄.

[Tim Witney @TimWitney]

❗️Another week, another PhD student has come to my office in tears as they can’t afford to live in London on £18k. And this is before the price cap increase. @UKRI_News this time - can I ask what you are doing to support the next-generation so there is a next-generation?! Pls RT
