@MartinGiurfa Hope you enjoy your visit!

Lots of people don't realise how difficult it is to work in higher education

UCU member Chris explains what it's really like👇

Glad to support @ucu action which includes ending gender pay inequality. For reference, here’s @BristolUni’s latest pay gap report https://t.co/Wltr0c2Z2Y and government summary https://t.co/O5GwXcUyxH 2/2

Sadly our #WomenInSTEM event @BristolBioSci was postponed due to strike action yesterday, looking forward to celebrating our female staff and students on International Women’s Day instead… but…1/2

[Beth Winter @BethWinterCynon]

As a former researcher in HE I have first-hand experience of the hardship staff endure. But I also have hope & faith in the collective spirit & power of staff to bring about change. Solidarity with HE staff & @ucu. Read my full article in @tribunemagazine:

@PeteOlusoga And where are that kids parents and why does he have so much money??

@gadusmo *jabs finger at your risk assessment*

[Stephen Montgomery @eohomo]

Any concessions won through taking strike action will benefit my postdocs, and any of of my students who stay in academia. One of the reasons I strike is because I want a good deal for them and the rest of my ECR colleagues. Striking is a direct act of care.

...But remember, kids, Strikes Don't Work, and the correct way to defend your working and living conditions is to do some other sort of thing which nobody ever quite manages to specify beyond that it's definitely not anything like calling a strike (because Strikes Don't Work).

@CrawfordAJ @AnyiMazo @darencard @PacBio @nanopore @ArimaGenomics @DTGenomics @EBPgenome @frozenzoo @genomewarriors Heliconiini and various Hymenoptera, we put the thorax and abdomen in rna later and chop it up into as small chunks as possible. It usually stays at room temperature for a few days in the field, then in -20 and extracted within a few weeks.

Can’t believe I’m tweeting my dire financial situation - but here I am speaking at our @Bristol_UCU rally. Being a lecturer is an aspirational job, which we work towards for yrs - our pay doest reflect it. It’s not enough to raise a family. And I’m one of the lucky ones…

@CrawfordAJ @AnyiMazo @darencard @PacBio @nanopore @ArimaGenomics @DTGenomics @EBPgenome @frozenzoo @genomewarriors We’ve actually got n50s close to 1mb assemblies from tissue stored in rna later using HiFi, not perfect assemblies but good enough for a lot of purposes.

Few months ago, we took #cichlid embryology to the next level... and now our results are published!🎉 Go to https://t.co/YRg3CMZvF9 and (re-)learn how divergence in embryonic development between species contributes to morphological diversity 🐠🥚
