It’s a nice feeling knowing that I can decorate my office and it doesn’t all have to come down at the end of a contract now! Thanks for the artwork!

Happy #pride month! We hope this can be a time of respite and recharging for our community, but also a time of reflection about how to provide support and justice to the most marginalised among us.
And if you have any institutional power is time to make actions follow words.

In the middle of marking tests and came across my favourite answer ever. “Dr McNulty uses HM notation as it only applies to crystallography and he’s not very good with Schoenflies”. Clearly I’m very honest with my skill set 🤣

Have now finished marking (pending moderation) after my first semester of lecturing! Student evaluations seem really positive too! Looking forward to a break and never want to lecture 3 different courses at the same time again! #AcademicTwitter

Bought a set of molecular orbital models to help with teaching MO theory. The fact they add a bit of colour to the office is a nice bonus

Really enjoyed contributing to this event! Was interesting to hear from other academics and students about their experiences and share some of my own about being LGBT in STEM #LGBTQSTEMDay
Quote Tweet
In honour of #LGBTQSTEMDay & LGBT+ STEM Week at St Andrews, come to our panel discussion! Hear from staff and students from different fields talk about their experiences as LGBT people in STEM, celebrate diversity and get the chance to network. See you there!
