Glad I can finally share this big work news! We'll be rolling out our boldly inclusive researcher recruitment, training, and community engagement initiatives all across Leics.

Also, to those who are waiting for me to reply to an email, this is what's been taking up all my time 😅💁🏻‍♂️

Spent the afternoon at the London Natural History Museum yesterday. It's such a beautiful building and always nice going back.

Of course I had to pay homage to my faves, the archaeopteryx fossil and the stuffed dodos.

A trans woman wrote to Wetherspoons to ask which toilets they're meant to use. Wetherspoons replied acknowledging the Supreme Court's verdict...and that trans customers can use whichever loos they want to but to please lock the cubicle door.

Labour now being outflanked on the left by Wetherspoons.

Cass report - Sex Matters etc consulted, trans participation refused.
FWS Supreme Court case - Sex Matters etc consulted, trans participation refused.
Puberty blocker ban - Sex Matters etc consulted, trans input ignored.

That should be everything you need to know.

You cannot legislate away a person, who they are, how they feel, how their friends and loved ones see them.

I stand with my trans friends forever and always. X

Those look soooo good. I fully forgot it was pancake day today! I'll have to make some tomorrow to catch up

A bright pink purple and yellow squid is blushing with a little heart in its pupil, surrounded by little black inky hearts and is saying “I’ll make my mantle transparent to accentuate my gonads…for you” and then on top in shiny pink bubble letters it says “text your crush a squid fact”

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Don’t forget to text your crush a squid fact today 😘

Nope. Too tired. One's all I got until next year 🤷🏻‍♂️

I totally forgot about the good old #academicvalentine trend. Still got 30 mins to force out a few mediocre ones!

Heard back about the grant. It's good news 😀 but that's all we can talk about for now, so don't anyone dare peer pressure me!

Now I need to meet the dog 🐕👀

Woah, woah, woah. Howling at your dog doesn't make you a fruit loop, Nicky! How else are you gonna communicate with your dog?!

Fingers crossed for both of us!

I mean, it'll also be the latest episode of Severance that will be keeping me up all night until next Friday.

Expecting to hear the outcome of a big grant application by the end of next week.

Accepting now that I won't sleep properly all week until I hear back 🙃

It was all a stunt and grift. They always do this kind of thing to play the victim. And glad you liked my sign! 😊

A clam with a spring attached to the shell. The spring has a magnet placed above a sensor.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know:

Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.

Little occasional shout out to those of you who post about civic and community engagement with research to follow my starter pack or give me a shout so I can add you!

I want to connect with more folks in this space on good ol' BSky 👀

It's so frustrating to have such globally useful tools be ruined or taken away by the whims and egos of billionaires and rich lobbyists.

Auguri, ragazzi! ❤️
