a good mentor to show you the ropes, otherwise the ones that get the grants will be those who have a better understanding of the system rather than those with the best science. Science is hard, but it is full of wonderful discoveries just waiting to be found. Go for it. 2/2

[Simone Cuff @SimoneMCuff]

The advice on why you should do science here isn't just for women. Working class? You are under-represented & unseen, break that glass ceiling! From the developing world? You are tough & independent, get out there & show them. LGBTQ+, carers, minorities... The key is 1/2

Calling all artists 🧑‍🎨 and everyone 🧑‍🔬👩‍💻🧑‍🏫👩‍⚕️🧞‍♀️🧙‍♂️🧟!
We're receiving proposals for our #BrainArt 🧠 exhibition—it's a nice opportunity to go “Beyond Borders” and showcase your creations.
It doesn’t have to be big or fancy, it just has to be yours!

(RTs are very much appreciated)

[Jess Pilgrim-Brown @JessBrown_UK]

I'd like to submit a proposal for an edited collection of studies with working-class people in HE with the intention to include voices from academics, students, Prof services, admin, ancillary workers & others. Would anyone be interested collaborating/contributing? #workingclass

When peer-review works, constructive criticism makes the original story so much more compelling. This is one such story:

Merry Christmas everyone, and good luck for your grants! Thanks to @ErrantScience for being both happily festive and painfully accurate, all in a single panel.

I am very excited to share the final story of my PhD, online now as a pre-print in @biorxivpreprint, where we dissect the opposing effects of antibody-feedback and memory T cell help on recall germinal centers (GCs). 1/n

Word of the day, should it be needed, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude, an aversion to other people, and the desire to be left alone.

End of a research integrity week: going through some submitted manuscripts to remove those from papermills while my brain helpfully provides ambience by playing "Don't you want me" by the Human League.
