Counting down the days to #BPS2025 — my first intl conference and 2nd time leaving Europe ✈️
Stop by my poster for a chat about what our lab’s been discovering about α2δ and CaV channels 🧠
📍West Exhibit Hall, 1:45–3:45 pm Tues 18th Feb
Any fellow PhD students attending, it’d be great to link up!

"Biased" estimates.

This is all basic, apolitical, technical science language. It would be standard in basically any empirical paper, on any topic.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Glad to see UKRI PhD stipends finally being brought in-line with the National Living Wage
There’s still a long way to go, as the measly £2000 London weighting puts students in the capital at a disadvantage

ONS have reported that pregabalin-related mortalities in England and Wales have risen from 0 in 2008, to 549 in 2023.
So, why are pregabalin-related deaths increasing in the UK?
I've wanted to dig into this question for a while, as it brings together my PhD #neuroskyence and #harmreduction worlds🧵

Hi #PhDSky #HiSciSky #neuroskyence 👋 I’m a PhD student at the QMUL School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences. My rotation project involves investigating the evolution and function of neuropeptide systems in starfish!
When I’m not working, I’m usually talking about the Benzo Research Project💊

The strain on scientific publishing 📄:
We've got issues. Scientists overwhelmed, editors overworked, constant special issue invites, mass article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?
