Lovely to interview Crick scientist turned MP Lauren Sullivan (@laurensullivanmp.bsky.social). “We know the Stem pipeline is leaky", she tells me. These leaks, “can occur from how we teach science and maths to kids” if that teaching does not meet the goal of “inciting curiosity”.

Join us for a day of reflection on research culture at Imperial on 03 April. Will include me, @ehsanmasood.bsky.social & @melaniesmallman.bsky.social discussing 'American Blues'… www.imperial.ac.uk/events/18952...

Couple of weeks to go until the deadline for this job at @acmedsci.bsky.social , one to share with science policy folk ⤵️
