Great visual story of the social theory of intersectionality 👇
I love bridging the gap between researchers & the public through visual storytelling. You might be familiar with my animation explaining the social theory of Intersectionality, commissioned by @peterhopkins.bsky.social - w/ nearly 1million views! #SocialJustice www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1is...

Came across this fabulous idea yesterday: The Pac-Man Rule at conferences: www.ericholscher.com/blog/2017/au...
The Pac-Man Rule at Conferences

Oh happy, happy day. The Wicked movie is everything I was looking forward to and more. If you’re interested here are photos of the set taken when we cruised past on nb Haversham in April 2023. The vast amounts of scaffolding make sense now.

So, lesson learned - Heather, do not get carried away with being here and follow everyone who’s followed you without checking their profile. I have had some very strange DMs..

Was the DNA database we were trying to remember this evening called ‘Blast’ @osullih.bsky.social ? (Nothing to see here, just two biologists reminiscing about the old days).

The first time I’ve had a shout out at an inaugural. Thank-you @jacpotter.bsky.social for inviting me and @lawriephipps.bsky.social to share your special evening. So much food for thought, followed by excellent food and conversation with @osullih.bsky.social and @lauramilne.bsky.social

How have I never stumbled across 'unpaywall' before?
Install the app and when you see the green tab beside a research article, click it to read the full text. upaywall say that "You'll see our green tab on about half of articles". What's not to love!

Academic authorship - interesting provocation from @markhooper.bsky.social and thoughtful responses 👇
Been considering authorship practices in academia, and I think "Guest, Gift and Ghost authorship" no longer describes the full range of unethical issues that we see. Here's a draft longer list. Would love opinions.

Word of the day - hagiography /ˌhaɡɪˈɒɡrəfi/ The writing of the lives of saints - a biography that treats its subject with undue reverence. Learned reading about the Beckham bio documentary that the director says steers clear of the above. I shall watch and (most probably) enjoy.
