[Luke Charters MP @lukejcr]

So there we have it. Reform UK want to repeal the Equality Act.

This is the law that:

Stops your boss sacking you for being pregnant.

Protects disabled workers who need adjustments to do their job.

Backs up equal pay for women.

Stops people from being harassed at work because they’re LGBT+.

Makes it illegal to refuse someone a job or a service because of their race or religion.

And THIS is what they’ve decided is the problem in Britain?

Not the cost of living.
Not NHS waits.
Not wages. (They said they’d actually them CUT for young people)

But YOUR rights.

THEIR culture wars would TEAR UP protections that millions of hardworking Brits rely on every day.

NO THANKS ❌

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

The tragedy of this is that it’s totally unnecessary - I think it’s a result of hasty (to put it politely) decision making at a level below ministers, and therefore will be fixable. But if it’s not fixed quickly the impact will be severe and there will be unpredictable consequences for physics as a whole in the U.K. And that is daft (again, polite language).

Here and ready to science

[Prof Lennart Nacke, PhD @acagamic]

Stop writing academic papers like a robot.

Tell stories instead.

Most academic writing puts people to sleep.

But it doesn't have to.

Academic storytelling changes everything.

Here's why it works:

Nature pays $0 for doing reviews and wants to give advice on how to avoid unpaid labor. Hahaha

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

"Science is fun and being a scientist is a fun job!"

On this year's International Day for Women and Girls in Science, listen to 2023 medicine laureate Katalin Karikó speak about being a scientist.

What is your favourite thing about being a scientist?

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of The Vivienne. Her talent, humor, and dedication to the art of drag was an inspiration. She will be dearly missed, but her legacy will live on as a beacon of creativity and authenticity – she embodied what it means to be a true champion.  Our hearts go out to her family and fans during this difficult time.
