Normalize not telling people "you might change your mind" when they tell you they don't want kids.

Don't get me wrong... I got mates who went to these elite expensive schools because I met them at uni. But from being their friend for over a decade I can tell you now, the class consciousness and understanding of even the progressive ones from these schools is seriously lacking

A new variant of covid? Because of inequity? Who could have predicted?!? Oh yes, that's right. Many public health experts, epidemiologists, social scientists, virologists and also just people who understand things about these things.

Hello fellow science communicators! What is your biggest pet peeve about science communicators and scicomm? As a scicommer, scicomm really grinds my gears! Let's hear it.

Did you know that the majority of Australian STEM communicators are women? Scicomm is a woman-dominated field in numbers. The women are just less likely to get the TV gigs.

As a science communicator I often hear how important and needed my skills are in various situations and sectors. However, this rarely is matched by any actual paid job opportunities for science communicators.

Over the past few years I've been invited to talk to many teens about my career from science degree to science TV presenter. "You will inspire the girls!" they say. I appreciate the power of representation but I also want to live in a world where boys draw inspiration from women

@yassmin_a I will never forget how cruelly you were treated and how you have been hounded. That's something this day marks for me now too. I am so sorry that happened to you and I'll never stand with the bullies who made it so.
