Vet friends! Could you please fill out my communication survey? It's very short (under 5 minutes, I promise) and will help develop how research is shared with the industry. Link here: https://t.co/5hwqVa09ll

If you have already done it, thank you so much for your help!

@royalmail @royalmailhelp I sent you the requested information by direct message and 2 hours later am still waiting for a response. It hasn’t been delivered and is still showing the same “by 3pm” on the tracking.

@RoyalMail @royalmailhelp Please explain to me why I paid for 24 hour signed for delivery by 1pm, and it has still not been delivered. It has been signed for - by the delivery depot!? It's saying it will be delivered by 3pm today. It was posted on WEDNESDAY.

@RoyalMailHelp Spoiler alert: it still hasn’t been delivered.

@RoyalMailHelp Not on a thread that everyone can see, no.

@BubsandJacks I used to work somewhere that you had to use your holiday for bank holidays, and I've heard of places that do it for eg Christmas closure. I don't like it at all but it exists...

It’s not that standards have changed. Women always felt creeped out by predatory, lewd men. It’s just that now women feel able to challenge. Older, middle class women more able to challenge than freelance junior women. It’s our duty💪💪💪 https://t.co/g22OEsygtg

Not least because she’s found that there is far less illness within her herds since she’s been doing this!

Talk from Dorit Albertson on keeping beef calves with their mothers and self-weaning which challenged many preconceptions and has potential for lots of further research. @_AVTRW

I had no idea there were plant alternatives to bear bile or that there were initiatives encouraging practitioners of Chinese traditional medicine to move to them. Bear bile farming is horrific. Monica Banda, the new @_AVTRW president, gave a very informative lecture on this.

Slept very badly last night after finding I was going to be on after the keynote speaker (who is also head of the vet school). It went well though - at least I think it did as there were lots of questions! @_AVTRW

Disclosure of neurodivergence in the workplace is a personal choice, & it’s not always easy. Our goal should be to create a safe, supportive environment for everyone, no matter what they choose to share. Listen without judgment, respect confidentiality, & offer ongoing support.🌈

[Nicola Clements Rolfe (she/her) @nscscience]

Refreshing to see research (from Nottingham University) on how neurodivergent students can be better supported. @_AVTRW

Lecture on gender parity was eye opening and infuriating in equal measure. Only 30% of professors are women, compared to 23% in 2014. As you move up the academic pay scale, the balance shifts to be male dominated. @_AVTRW

First day of the @_AVTRW conference and there has been a lot of weather (well, it is at @KeeleUniversity ).

@OneNerdyOpinion Ah, this is due to the Universal Cat Distribution System. You own a cat now.
