@AEMorton07 @AntiRacismDay So was he driven away destined for a custodial sentence and lots of criminal record??!! 😌

[Heather @slinky_heather]

@ScienceGemB @ChatChemistry @chatbiology This approach also helps pupils express views more open-mindedly when tackling ticklish science discussions like animal research 😮
Lots of material here to help fully inform in advance: https://t.co/O3Uvs9Mq7R

About to go on @LBC to talk about yet another mass migrant drowning.
The relentless horror of these stories must never allow us to normalise them, or to stop feeling the rage & sorrow at every death. This isn't normal. It is not OK that we live with this. https://t.co/WtWSgjUfZ7

@NinaLJolly @Bernade75861698 @ZoeJardiniere @BBCWorld Migrant crossings are so hazardous we should be making good use of the Channel Tunnel, directing them safely through it into the UK, showing how tolerant we suggest we are! 🫴

[Heather @slinky_heather]

@Ffion_Ev @ZoeJardiniere If only they would give migrant crossings as much media focus + airtime! Balance the coverage at least to show the unacceptable dangers. Maybe enough attention can force us to provide proper transportation into UK!! #Migrants #RefugeesWelcome 🫴🫴

[Heather @slinky_heather]

@LallyNott @ZoeJardiniere So true. Nice to be the 50th like on your tweet, but such a pity it is relating to these migrant tragedies.

@ScienceGemB @andywatson33 @ChatChemistry @ChatPhysics @chatbiology Yes, this resonates with me from my classroom experience as a GCSE teaching assistant, allowing me to mingle more. Experimentation science work to complement their general study energises pupils!!

[Heather @slinky_heather]

@_JoMarney @ConorJones10 @ZoeJardiniere BUT they've all got rights to apply to whichever country they choose to that have signed up to the original HR convention. So from the benefits migration brings us socially + economically, thank goodness for their pettiness !!

[Heather @slinky_heather]

@Mistyswoman @Spigot696 @ZoeJardiniere @curiocat13 Quite. But as long as we manage to keep all those planes holding refugees/migrants intended for RW etc firmly grounded here in the UK, they'll get bored of trying to deport any more !! ☺️

[Heather @slinky_heather]

@findothershq @ZoeJardiniere A good idea to petition this issue particularly among the secondary school-age, -pleasingly highly pro- #RefugeesWelcome based on my daughter's + friends views !! :)

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

@downwithcheese If I remember correctly he didn’t have much of a follow up? The full 45 minute (!!) evidence session is here if you’re keen 😉 https://t.co/GchXOtdTI0

[Heather @slinky_heather]

@ZoeJardiniere Great work btw Zoe! + Is there not a safe route #migrants can take through the Channel Tunnel to avoid crossing by boat altogether?? #RefugeesWelcome 🫴🫴🫴

Great thread on what we can do locally to join actions in support of migrants & refugees 👇👇

[Laboratory Animal Science Association (LASA) @LASA_UK]

Homeschooling and want science projects for your children? @colormephd have #WomenInScience colouring page ft. @meg_laughalot & Dr. Brianna Gaskill from Purdue, to tell you all about the science behind tickling lab rats! #3Rs #AnimalWelfare https://t.co/sI3OLocrxc

Animal technicians are integral to carrying out ethical animal research and safeguarding the welfare of animals in the lab!

@kirankmirza any exciting updates in AR??

[Heather @slinky_heather]

@ZebrafishClaire @kbradley_fish @CefasGovUK Okay if my daughter prints some out for her 2ndary school? It's nice + clear visual education on the subject!! #animalresearch

[Understanding Animal Research @animalresearch]

Why do we use fish to develop medicines?

1. We are genetically similar!

Most #FishInResearch are #Zebrafish a small freshwater fish that is native to South Asia.

84% of genes known to be associated with human disease have a zebrafish counterpart #AnimalResearch

[Heather @slinky_heather]

@DrDoox @animalresearch A few years ago now but this point about hypocrisy of those intent on resisting animal research + denial of its benefits seems a timeless one to be making.
I've expressed the same pro-research/test view & reasoning myself many times to others, and it makes them think again.
