@CJStewart7 Ah no, get well soon!

[Beth Lawry @bethlawry58]

@ECL_HUBS Really interesting talk, can't wait to try jamboard!

We are looking for an enthusiastic technician to support IBD-RESPONSE. This is an exciting project looking at the link between microbiome and response to biologics in patients with IBD. It should be great fun!! Please RT

Thanks, it was great to be on @bbc5live and @BBCWales discussing neutralising antibody therapy #neutralisingantibodytherapy #covidtreatment #SciCom

[Newcastle Biomedical, Nutrition & Sport Sci @NclBNS]

If you listened to any of BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Wales or BBC Radio 2 this morning you may have heard the familiar voice of our own Dr Beth Lawry discussing neutralising antibody therapy.

Listen back to Dr Lawry's @bbc5live interview (43:50) here: https://t.co/gsOfsqgF90

@ECL_HUBS I'm growing some veg for the first time, just seeing them sprout through cheered me up no end! #ECLwellbeing #ECLnature #AcademicChatter

[Beth Lawry @bethlawry58]

@ECL_HUBS Due to the amount of work and organisation this will take, it's important that we share good practice amongst all staff, I think the sessions with @DocWithTheSocs and @Nige1980 are a great start! Thanks :)

Scientific paper submissions from females has dropped significantly.... Interesting thread about the impact of the pandemic on female academic careers.

[Caroline Kitchener @CAKitchener]

Six weeks into widespread self-quarantine, editors of academic journals have started noticing a trend: Women — who (ofc) shoulder more family responsibility — seem to be submitting fewer papers than usual. There is some evidence that men are submitting *more.* (a thread)

🩺🦠🧫 Meet Prof Samira Mubareka, superstar clinical scientist + expert in viral transmission @Sunnybrook. Mubareka successfully isolated #COVIDー19 in early March, making the whole genome available for scientific research. New @Wikipedia page:https://t.co/MW93bygC9k #WomenInSTEM

Yes @Barbour stepping up to provide for our #NHS proud to live in the #Northeast

[Dr Alice Wort @DrAliceWort]

Thank you @Barbour. You thoroughly deserve these royal crests. The quality of these new gowns is amazing. They mean so much to our staff. Proud of our British manufacturers. @QEGateshead

Just embarrassing. My young nieces could tell him why he's wrong

TRUMP: "The germ has gotten so brilliant that the antibiotic can't keep up with it ... there's a whole genius to it ... not only is it hidden, but it's very smart."

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

Male academic scientists outnumber their female counterparts by two to one in biology, mathematics and physical sciences in the UK, and by more than four to one in engineering and technology, according to an official report collated for the government. https://t.co/gy9MP5WziH

A brilliant blog from Dania, our Biomed student, about moving to Newcastle for her degree and experiencing the geordie life @NclBNS @StudentsNCL @NUMedMalaysia #studentlife #Biomed

[Newcastle Biomedical, Nutrition & Sport Sci @NclBNS]

👀 ⬇️ What's it like to study biomed at Ncl? What's it like to move from the warm climate of Malaysia to the North East? Dania Hammadi, final year biomed has written this fantastic blog! 👏

@Geborgenheit007 @RoyalSocBio Having spoken to peers I agree this is not simply an ECL feeling, it was a relief to hear some of my most experienced colleagues also feel like imposters. As an ECL it was the only way I could write the personal perspective piece but it's a great conversation to have all round!
