  1. Prikvačeni tweet

    Some people would prefer scientists to be one dimensional: to talk only about science, to write only about science, to have opinions only about science and therefore to hide all their other human dimensions, as if they did not matter; as if our humanity was irrelevant. It isn’t.

    I thought about quitting my PhD frequently bcuz I was treated like I was nothing. It's still hard, & I try to keep an open mind, as most xenophobic colleagues graduated, the dept chair shifted from part of the problem to part of the solution, & my overall situation improved.

  5. I finally read this piece by David Smith about the measures of sucess and work culture in scientific communities and how “prevailing culture feeds a negative health cycle for all scientists.” Many excellent points made.

  7. A PhD student in another country wrote humbling words to me and said she thought of quiting her PhD in engineering because she was treated like she was nothing. Sexism in academia is pandemic and a disaster for science. We need to stop it. Universities ought to really act.

  8. Dear early career researchers, I am happy to host fellowship applications for this in two subjects: 1) bridging quantum science and bio, or 2) further understanding of the quantum to classical transition. Please, email me with CV at a.olaya@ucl.ac.uk

  9. Achievements and contributions of talented people who do not conform to gender stereotypes get diminished by prejudice. Let this month be an opportunity to celebrate LGBTQ+ scientists, artists, students, workers, parents, dancers, engineers, kids, all.

  10. Shakira and J-Lo's Super Bowl show: “Together they came to defy preconceptions about age, gender and race in music.” And they did so while singing and dancing Mapalé, pole dancing, champeta, salsa!! 🌟🌟

    First time I heard of Mary Somerville was when I started my DPhil at Oxford in Somerville College. The college was originally created for women when they where not allowed in UK Universities. Then I knew was the right college for me. I made friends for life there.

    Y terminé de leer BiCiEntenario. Pablo logró asustarme con su terquedad y travesía en el páramo, pero lo entendí, alguno tenía que seguir. La voz de María Johana y la humanidad descrita por Nelsón resuenan y resuenan. Gracias

    To end the day on a happy note I’d like to share with you “Arepas AOC style.” They are made of precooked corn flour and I’ve added lots of butter. In days when the world seems to make little sense, a warm delicious arepa will light up your outlook.

    I am relieved to see that has put some significant thought into the prospects for a UK-EU post-Brexit. I really hope and his team are giving similar focus to tackling this challenge.

    If there is one thing I have learnt through out the years is to listen to my “gut instincts”. I will delay a decision till I understand that immediate thought of a situation. Regardless of the cognitive biases I have, I consider my “gut feeling” the best ally of my well-being.
