Our very own trustee Dr Craig Poku (@pokubakes.bsky.social) is one of this year’s Attitude 101 LGBTQ+ Trailblazers - saying that this honour is well deserved is an understatement! 👏

An aggressive reminder to take it easy, friend.
The Summer Snow by Edward Burne-Jones. Image is a portrait of a woman leaning on a garden wall with her head down reading a book. She looks exhausted, and should probably find a fainting couch to collapse onto. Over the image are the words, “rest is an anti-capitalist defiance and a radical act of self preservation.”

🚨PhD funding 🚨 2x fully funded Stuart Hall Foundation PhD fellowships available to Black, British scholars starting their PhD studies in October 2024 at Sussex. Proposed research should clearly address social justice issues.

Going to replug this trans/GnC/nonbinary authored paper (myself included) for one reference on how spaces and labs can make things more trans/GnC inclusive. One paper can't cover everything, but we included some tools and suggestions, especially for marine oriented spaces.

First ever post on here - can someone explain/propose how the penguin on my mug manages to have such flexibility? Unrealistic body standards 🥺
My rainbow mug with a face of a penguin. The side of my rainbow mug showing incredible flexibility of the penguin on it (how is its butt so high relative the rest of the body). The rear of my rainbow mug showing the penguin's butt and feet.

✉️ Some science 🧪 buddies and I have written an open letter to the UK government, strongly opposing their “kicking woke ideology out of science” sentiments, which stand to damage the UK’s scientific standing and ability to deliver for public good.

Please read and consider signing ✍🏻
