This was amazing- a must watch!

Imagine your fave talk show meets #HepB.

What a treat- an incredibly smart & funny host who made
#HBV learning fun & got the origin stories of some of my fave scientists!

Are you currently attempting to juggle a research career w/ caregiving responsibilities in the UK?

With @FLFDevNetwork funding #CarersinSTEMM have launched an anonymous survey to gather your lived experiences, it will take ~15 mins

⏰ 31/10/2024

📌 https://t.co/g6FdjglZfG

[Carers in STEMM @STEMM_carers]

Are you a #caregiver (e.g. of a child/elderly parent/other adult) and a STEMM-researcher in the UK?

If so we want to hear your lived experiences. Please take 15 mins to complete our anonymous survey:

[Dr Emma S Chambers @Emma_S_Chambers]

I am so excited to start my new @Barts_Charity funded project investigating how menopause and HRT impacts upon immunity. But we are in need of volunteers to help with the study :)

[Carers in STEMM @STEMM_carers]

🚨Survey design complete🚨

Aim: to capture as much data from those experiencing life as a researcher in the UK with caring responsibilities. e.g. How many opportunities have you missed (if any)? Have you received grants/reimbursement to help cover costs? How are you finding it?

Three years today since we moved into the Pears Building! 🎊 To mark this, we've just launched a new film celebrating some of the fantastic scientists from the Stauss Lab here at the Institute 🎬
