Why do I care so much about getting a copy of #Inferior into all schools? Because I don’t want to just tell girls they can do anything. I want them to read it, be empowered, and join our fight for equality. #thisgirlcan justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…

If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is. The billionaire Scott Trust is preparing to push a core part of the Guardian over the cliff into the hands of speculators & profiteers

Observer owner Scott Trust has delayed making a final decision on the sale to Tortoise after meeting this afternoon, but said that "talks continue to progress and there are a few outstanding points".

The hill I will die on: STEM grad programs MUST teach PhD students how to communicate their science to the public and legislators alike. This is 💯 not a drill.

An Irish physicist working at @BerkeleyLab, our STEM winner @sineatrix made a big leap forward on room-temperature superconductivity research this past year, cutting down the number of iterations needed to find room-temp superconductivity from billions to a handful

🎯 @imperialcollege is really one of the jewels of UK science and tech - and produces some amazing founders
13 Nov 2024
I'm so impressed with @imperialcollege
Ranked Number 2 in the world, overtaking Oxford and Cambridge.
Their top graduates are coming out with useful degrees like Computer Science, Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering.
And it's really notable how practical and commercial they are - compared with theory-heavy courses elsewhere.
It's a huge win for the UK - we're now home to 3 of the global top 5 Universities.

The world is failing to take advantage of African genetic diversity, says Royal Society Africa Prize 2023 winner Professor Kelly Chibale in the @guardian. "If it works in Africa, there’s a good chance it’ll work somewhere else", he says of clinical trials. theguardian.com/global-devel…

Thank you to @Soc_of_Authors & @PhilipPullman @wmarybeard @MichaelRosenYes & many more for understanding how @guardian’s hasty & shortsighted plans to offload @ObserverUK to a financially struggling start-up will impoverish us all

When life gets (a bit more) serious, it feels good to go the other way, so my next collection of songs is a tribute to the joys of pop and dance music, how they keep you in the moment, taking a small feeling and making it everything! First track, Friday firebird.lnk.to/rm_sg
