@mccutchv This is a hugely significant step...I hope other universities take note...even having your existence acknowledged on the external website can be a battle!

@DrBrianYL Congratulations @DrBrianYL! Such wonderful news ❤️

Thumbs up from this magic elf...an academic-adjacent career was never presented as an option when I was a PHD student...a shot in the dark with an application to a research funder and I've never looked back!

*NEW BLOG POST* What are ‘academic-adjacent’ careers & how can you explore them? If you still want to work with research/ students/ in a university, but ‘academia’ isn’t your bag, this post is here to help you uncover options @AltAcChats @AcademicChatter

#ARMA2022 thank you for the wonderfully kind comments on our on-demand webinar - a slightly scary step into the unknown for us, in content and style. But it was so much fun to make; paper cut-outs and Lego! Excited to be on my way to Newcastle, representing Southampton Uni RMAs

@LornaRFDNCL Thank you Lorna, so pleased that you enjoyed it!

@Gingermicrobe @UKRI_News @BBSRC Sounds like this may be a limitation of the JeS but if not, perhaps the question should be why are Research Council staff having to work so late into the evening?!?

Today's epiphany...being a School Governor is a lot like being a Research Manager, reviewing bids for a clear, timely and relevant Q, feasible project plan & pathway to impact w/ metrics for success..think I'm going to enjoy this 😁 #newschoolgovernor @HantsGovServ @SchoolGovNet

Here’s a nice thing. The TV version of This Is Going To Hurt is all about the mental health of doctors, and culminates with the death by suicide of a junior doctor called Shruti (spoiler alert). There is a scene where a tree is planted in her memory, shot at Ealing Hospital. 1/3

Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out."

Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out."

The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.

@DrBrianYL and there I am, praying the batteries will run out on my children's books/toys so I never have to listen to these things ever again - they infiltrate my dreams! We stick sellotape over the 🔊 to try to mute the sound!

Great to see our @sotonbiosci @NeilJGostling dinosaur research getting worldwide interest from @cnni. 🦖🙌
