We’ll always support NHS staff who fight against unfair working conditions
Please RT if you will too
Fair pay will help improve staff retention, increase the workforce size and boost morale
Or in other words, benefit every single person who uses, or may need to use, the NHS

Word of the day is ‘battologist’ (17th century): an individual who repeats the same story over and over, even when all the facts contradict them.

Having seen this do incredible numbers, I also want to share 3 examples of best practice to point out that it really doesn't have to be like this.
1. University of Liverpool - who cared about #LGBTinSTEM before anybody else and hosted an amazing event - the first I ever gave.

A story. Once upon a time I got invited to do a lecture on LGBT representation in STEM at a very prestigious university. I travelled across the country and arrived, as planned, an hour before my lecture. My host was busy so I was shuffled off to the Deputy Director of Teaching.

Words of wisdom from pioneering neurologist Rita Levi-Montalcini.
Levi-Montalcini was 103 years old when she passed away in 2012 - the longest-living Nobel Prize laureate ever.

A Nigerian medical student at Poland/Ukraine border (Medyka-Shehyni) told me she has been waiting 7hrs to cross, she says border guards are stopping black people and sending them to the back of the queue, saying they have to let 'Ukrainians' through first.

Is academia the only job where people are hired for the science they do, then we don't let them do that any more but give them a completely different job with no training or support?

this decade-long experiment in creating a market for students has been a disaster for education. working conditions unliveable. universities' global reputations decline
aiming for bums on seats and fees in coffers above all else has caused immense and entirely predictable harms

Just to clarify for academics not in the UK. It is not just that our pensions have been unreasonably unjustifiably slashed, it is that this has happened on top of:
1. increased casualisation precarity
2. increasing workloads
3. leaving staff not being replaced

all-time favorite person in space lore: Katherine Johnson - a literal calculator, contributing to putting the first US astronaut in space. all in the crushing social climate of the 60s. untold for nearly half a century, her story is one of the most iconic in science history 👑
