@Hollieduce @TfL YES! It’s been like this for days. Carriage 23546 doesn’t just need cleaning, it needs a priest.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, Samuel Abdullahi reflects on his journey into Trading Standards, the challenges he’s faced, and why young black professionals need to see leaders in Trading Standards who look like them.

I didn’t expect to cry at a zombie film. But 28 Years Later is about more than the infected — it’s about loss, memory, and what happens when a nation forgets itself.

Also: longbows.

Here’s my take: https://t.co/f8SRIS6Ap5

Here on X, the tone of scholarly conversation has definitely changed. If you’re wondering where academics are heading now — and how publishers can keep up — check out my article in @researchinfo

Spoiler: It’s not just about Bluesky.

We've just launched a new, open-access journal linking redox research to human health & disease! You can submit free until the end of 2023 as we are sponsoring the article publication charge. Sign up to the @RedoxExpMed mailing list for updates. @unito https://t.co/pOdd3mFSnT

The UK is failing to fulfil its obligations to tens of thousands of Afghan civilians who have worked alongside the UK- in the grounds that they are technically “sub-contractors” - all this is shameful https://t.co/NbZJqffpXj

Important study in @TheLancetEndo on how to increase female participation at conferences. https://t.co/j6KHoAo6As Great work from our @Soc_Endo members to highlight this issue! #womeninSTEM #womeninscience #manels #eventprofs

-Antibiotics don't work vs viruses, they work against bacteria
-the virus is not outpacing antibiotics because it's so brilliant
-There is no scenario under which antibiotics would've treated coronavirus
-if antibiotics worked vs coronaviruses, we would use them to treat colds

Women are less likely to ask questions at conferences, but raising awareness of the issue can have a big impact: https://t.co/gpvc0HLGbd via @timeshighered #womeninSTEM #womeninscience #academiclife #eventprofs

Bioscientifica staff are taking time out to paint the outside area of a local nursery as part of the @Soc_Endo group’s volunteering program. Good job you lot!

[Katherine Single @Singlebyname]

@vijaygoel @mparish243 Very interesting point. I think it’s important not to conflate the 2 issues, because they have different implications & solutions, but I agree that there is an important role for the scientific community to call out both types of misinformation.

[Katherine Single @Singlebyname]

How can scientists combat the spread of scientific misinformation in the age of #fakenews? https://t.co/PJdCFdQGOx #scicomm #evidencematters

[Katherine Single @Singlebyname]

@vijaygoel @mparish243 I agree that data transparency is crucial, but I think it's important to differentiate between legitimate peer-reviewed research that’s misleadingly reported, and outright junk-science. We should call out both, but when the latter gains credence, this is arguably more dangerous.
