Come and see “Rejected Ted Talks”, our Southampton Science Comedy show at the Brighton Fringe https://t.co/UHCsytgmAm

[Prof Les Carr @lescarr]

Tonight - the second Southampton Science Comedy night is sold out! Featuring local comedy performers from @unisouthampton, the wonderful @meredith_martyn, her wit and her Rubik's Cube!

[Jane Gregory @drjanegregory]

Sounds Like Misophonia is out now in the UK! Get your copy wherever you buy books (and support your local bookshop if you can). May the commuter gods bless you with silence while you read it.

[Dr Callum Stirling @cjstirl]

One of the best choices I've ever made was applying for Talent Factory. Amazing group of people and wonderful mentors, apply if you're interested in communicating ideas!

[Dr Callum Stirling @cjstirl]

I'm being silly on stage again! Come down if you want an evening full of lots of comedy, a little bit of science and frankly too much of my opinions on urinal etiquette

[ORC Southampton @orctweets]

Congratulations to @cjstirl and Rand Ismaeel who have both been elected to the Future Photonics Leaders committee! This is a fantastic opportunity that will support early career researchers to reach their full potential. Very well done! #photonicsisthefuture

@kerrianneharri Thank you!!

[Dr Callum Stirling @cjstirl]

It's tonight!! Come join for some general chaos, comedy and maybe a little bit of science

[Dr Callum Stirling @cjstirl]

Do you:
a) live in London?
b) have £10?
c) have nothing to do on the evening of Wednesday 31st August?

If answer is yes, then come see me make a fool of myself on stage! There will also be actually funny people performing, if that's your sort of thing.

[York RI Women’s RUFC @YorkRIWomen]

We turn up every weekend and play without a medic. We know clubs run by men who don't think women should play. We have had to fight at every step for equal access to this sport. But sure, tell us trans women are the greatest threat to women's rugby. We'll be at training 💅

[Cerys Bradley @hashtagcerys]

as some of you may know, I play rugby and like it so much I've written a stand up show about joining my amazing team and finding this wonderful inclusive space that has allowed me to be my weird little nongendered self and I love it BUT (1/5)

[Squidge Rugby @SquidgeRugby]

Everyone arguing for this ban is forgetting what they’re *actually* scrapping for is the removal of the case-by-case basis which the RFU currently works on. There are only 7 trans women playing rugby in the UK. It’s not exactly a huge drain on their resources.

[Nick Heath @nickheathsport]

The RFU Council will next week vote on a change to its Gender Participation Policy which is set to ban trans players.

This change will question the claim that rugby is a game for everyone.

My thoughts to help educate. Replies off to avoid anti-trans pile on. Be considerate. 🧵

[ORC Southampton @orctweets]

Huge congratulations to our incredible #PhD graduates on their amazing achievements. We are SO proud of you and can’t wait to see where your careers take you. Welcome to the global community of @orctweets alumni! 👏👏👏👨‍🎓

Did somebody call a doctor*?

[James Greig @jamesdgreig]

It’s kind of wild to think that Coronation Street had a hugely popular and sympathetic trans character introduced in the late nineties, and that it was never a big deal

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

The PM Covid briefing...

...it was another masterclass of spin and sleight of hand, with insinuations and revelations from Whitty and Patrick.

Here is my take after running it through the Bullsh*t translator.
