We are sadly not holding a soapbox science Exeter event this year due to budget cuts.
We are committed to helping women scientists & will raise sponsorship to hold a 2026 event
We are also leaving this social media platform over the next few weeks.
Sariqa, Safi and Ana

We have two winners for the Health, Wellbeing, & Life Sciences Award! Congratulations to ENLIVEN & The Citizen Phage Library! 🙌
@ENLIVEN_project produces dementia-inclusive, nature-based experiences, while @CitizenPhage provides phage for therapy when no other options exist.

Great to be a part of the @royalsociety Summer Science Exhibition to give an invited talk about coral reefs, the risks they face and what we can do … limit local threats and work on restoration, while we address climate change … royalsociety.org/science-eve… @ExeterMarine @GSI_Exeter

The bad news? 😩
Only 43% of women have ever asked for a pay rise at work, according to jobs site Indeed which surveyed 14,500 women around the world.
The good news? 🎉
Of those women who *had* asked for a pay rise, three out of four (76%) received an increase.
Read the full report here: shorturl.at/Al86j
Have you asked for a pay rise? What tips would you give others? 👇
