Really loved @SarahCubitt’s fab video on the @wellcomebkprize longlist. https://t.co/7AomSDS7uz We’re hoping to read the shortlist together & maybe make a video or two. I’m currently reading the longlisted books I have in the house. Which have you all read & what did you think?

[Claire Murray @drclairemurray]

#journorequests If you are going to write about #WomenInSTEM, please stop placing the burden on young women and instead take some responsibility for how you talk about women scientists. I had many problems with this disappointing @IrishTimes article.

Advisory: this paper does NOT provide convincing evidence of this link (most of the work in mice, data from humans not compelling at all). Moreover, it was carried out by a company which aims to sell blockers of these toxins as a drug for AD

Now when someone uses the word theory, you can launch into an exciting, spontaneous science lesson! (and maybe not be invited to any more parties...not that we're bitter) #scicomm #sciart #science
