Socialising in a cost of living crisis seems to mean spending all weekend going for walks with a little coffee. By Sunday evening I am just a flesh sack full of caffeine with an obscene step count.
@arnaudschenk I recommend dishes with interesting texture! When I first had COVID, fried eggs (sunny side up) on toast was a fun textural experience for an otherwise empty meal 🫠
The recording of “Where have the periods gone? Current understanding of FHA & best-practice treatment approaches” is now live at https://t.co/1HNCNUXQVR 🩸 Super excited to share this incredibly useful afternoon of learning & discussion 🩸
🚀 Big news from Better Science!
We're launching the Lovelace Future Scientific Institutions Essay Prize. £1500 each for 3-5 essays that offer bold, transformative visions for new scientific institutions.
These will form a key part of a new report (🧵)

@arnaudschenk Probably the best thing I’ve done for my personal development. Inspiration, accountability, and resource within a (loosely) structured programme, along with cool & interesting people 👍
Applications for the 2024 Polaris Fellowship in London and Cambridge have opened. Deadline: 17th November.
The fellowship is to pursue the work you feel most drawn to — whether mastering the established, or exploring the unknown — unencumbered by institutions.
The Mer de Glace on Mont Blanc. A vintage photo from the early 1900s and the current webcam image. The glacier has been in a regressive phase since 1850 but the melting has accelerated rapidly over the last 20 years due to ever higher temperatures and the summer increase of the freezing point.
In the last few days, in that area, the freezing point has reached an altitude of 5,200 meters, an absolutely abnormal figure and well above the average. In fact, in summer the freezing level in the western Alpine Arc should be around 3,500-3,600 metres.

Realising that I don’t want to do academia longterm has been transformative for my PhD. Removing the need to subscribe to traditional academic success metrics has given me scope to take a far more holistic approach to my scientific development.
This year I’ve interned in medical science policy, engaged with entrepreneurship schemes, and more actively participated in the wider Cambridge research community (inc. beyond STEM). I’ve massively expanded my network and have exposed myself to new ideas, people, and careers.
