Here’s a sentence that I never imagined writing in a paper “More generally, the two fly species preferred different #beer styles”. Yup, dear tax payers, we are using your money to investigate which fruit fly species prefers which beers! (And Trust me, this actually is useful! 😉)

It's disappointing to see an article about misconduct for which I was consulted stating that 3 experts took a look at the data, but only mentions 2 of them by name.
Those 2 are both men. I am not mentioned.
One of the 100s of little insults #WomenInSTEM have to deal with.

This week Editors-in-Chief of some our most well known journals—NEJM, JAMA, Nature, Science, Cell—have been invited by Wellcome to come to London for a day-long meeting to discuss the future of Plan S. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Plan S, and what should we say?

Happy to share our latest work! we show how the structurally different ether lipids and sphingolipids are co-regulated, and share properties that explain their common roles in the early secretory pathway! Thanks @LeonettiManuel and all the other collaborators! @RouxLab @Colom_D

The Tories' decision to drop the commitment to unaccompanied child refugees post-Brexit is a moral disgrace.
The Government should scrap New Clause 37. Retweet if you agree.
