Phillipson is being an idiot. Let’s keep the squeeze on.

This letter now has 700+ signatures. Shall we get it to 1,000 before the Tuesday deadline?

Then I’ll print it all out—with every name—and post it to her, plus copy to every supportive MP I know.

After experiencing 'imposter participants' in online interviews I was glad to collaborate on this publication.

Seems it continues to be a growing issue!

My comment about open research and qualitative methods is out! I argue that open research needs to take seriously the notion that "rigour" looks different for different methods and can learn from qualitative traditions. It feels very apt to be at #QMIP2025 for this publication day rdcu.be/evEpk

Work-related suicide.
More than 13 people may have killed themselves as a result of the Post Office Horizon IT scandal, while it drove at least 59 more to contemplate suicide.

Important work by my colleague Dr Victoria Williams 👇

#endometriosis #womenshealth
"Endometriosis is more than a health challenge. It is a lens through which we can understand broader issues around gender, health and work"

Our colleague Dr Victoria Williams writes on #Endometriosis, #HealthPolicy and #WorkplaceWellbeing in @uk.theconversation.com

#MedSky #WomensHealth
Left unsupported, endometriosis can bring misery for the women who suffer it – and it can damage their careers and workplace wellbeing.

This. 👇
There’s the biologists’ view of ‘biological sex’ – which is that it’s extremely complex and multifactorial.

And then there’s the UK Supreme Court’s understanding – which might better be called ‘political sex’, conveniently turned into a binary in support of the patriarchy.
