Whatโs the need for a UK #BlackLivesMatter movement? There isnโt any racism, institutional bias or oppression in the UK? Just bandwagonning? An excuse to make noise and go outdoors?

@dcozkocak@PhDVoice@BioRender Perfect skill to pick up during lockdown! Strongly recommend it! I recently found out that GraphPad Prism has a bunch of free online courses https://t.co/R87ZzRYqFb. Thought it may help!
@dcozkocak@PhDVoice Hey! Depends on figure, but I use GraphPad prism for graphs, @BioRender, Canva and Adobe Illustrator for making diagrams! There is also Tableau for data viz! Hope it helps x

PhD is already challenging on its own. But we now face a future full with uncertainties. Having to โcarry onโ with our research without funding reassurance is worrisome (to say the least). Thanks @GoldstoneRoss for vocalising our concerns! #phdchat
PhD students need better protection from Covid-19: the lockdown is affecting not only final-year students, and, says Ross Goldstone, without a blanket funding extension, many others will suffer and drop out
