#FunFact: more than a hundred collimators are placed around the LHC.

Thank you to the University of Manchester for inviting me to speak on how speed-focused academic norms affect women, caregivers, and disabled academics. We covered practical steps like redefining success beyond publication counts, and ensuring #AI doesn’t reinforce inequality.

It's difficult, especially when they've all already been invited. Can you push to add 1 more person to the panel?

Ooh, this looks good! I enjoyed the poem you performed about ADHD at CERN. Will certainly grab myself a copy 📚
