Four years on from @STEMGamechange : we did some good stuff, but we're not actively managing the site any more. Our magazine lives at scientistsarehumans.wordpres… now as the domain expired, and we're still reachable here (intermittently) and via the contact form on the site.

We can still publish articles if you have anything you'd like to share about the humans behind the science.

Just under 4 years ago a bunch of people met at the @turinginst to look at diversity in STEM and try to change the game - @STEMGamechange. We spent a pretty intense few days analysing discussing and planning.

We didn't get funded but we did it anyway - wordpress hosting & a domain name wasn't too expensive. Anyway, (switch to first person) I think there's only one of us doing stuff now, and the hosting is up for renewal, and I've paid it for 4 years.

The manifesto scientistsarehumans.com/post… is great
The articles are great (take a look!)
scientistsarehumans.com/
but it's time to quietly shut the door on the project. I think it'll transition to a free site with ads, which is fine, it can stay there.

It's three years since we launched @STEMGamechange - it's been quite an odd three years but I think we have done some cool stuff. Momentum for side projects like Scientists Are Humans is hard to maintain, so things have wound down quite a bit. #MyTwitterAnniversary

I think it was worth it though. We said some good stuff and the site is still there scientistsarehumans.com/

i also allocated myself FOUR hours for a dreaded admin work. which is a lot, considering my tendency to want to do things quickly. but now i think i know what it means to set myself kind deadlines like what's written in @scientistshuman manifesto 😊

Students who nod into the video; students who look confused into the video; students who type questions into the chat; students who type "thank you" at the end of the lecture; we really appreciate it! These are all little bits of light in a dark impersonal sea of Zoom.

Scientists are Humans was recently featured on The PLOS Blog. Set up by a group of people including our lecturer Hannah Dee, it supports us all to move the science research culture to be more kind, and to make science better. @scientistshuman theplosblog.plos.org/2020/09…

#bropenscience is broken science…
@kirstie_j and @o_guest ask how open ‘open science’ really is.

This article is Hannah-who-is-no-longer-on-Twitter's pick from the archives - it came in just before she was co-running a student conference & led her to sort out pre-event photos, a quiet zone, and much clearer signing - which got SO MUCH thanks from attendees. Be more kind 💛
