Female abduction might be mercifully rare, but being followed, attacked, groped, flashed at, shouted at & degraded absolutely isn't. It's so ubiquitous that we don't even discuss it. We're finally having the conversation. Please don't shut it down.

Female abduction / murder is extremely rare. Yes we should all be vigilant when out alone. But this level of fear-mongering isn’t healthy. And men’s mental health is an issue as well. Calling all men out as dangerous is bad for our sons, brothers, partners.

Didn’t expect to feel so overwhelmed by the beautiful messages last night - after years on YouTube thought I’d lost the ability to be moved by the internet. So today I’m gonna hide under a duvet & watch Princess Bride, and then tomorrow I’ll be back to my normal sarcastic self 💅🏻

I know I keep banging on about my book, but honestly it is actually very good. This week it’s up for the biggest non fiction prize there is. Only two British authors are in the running, only two science books, and only one girl. 💅🏻

Absolutely love this from the Guardian today. Speaking of which, my brand new podcast series Uncharted is out now, in which I make absolutely no off-putting mentions of my femaleness WHATSOEVER 🌟 Imagine!

The Mail asked me to comment on that 8÷2(2+2) equation that's been doing the rounds. Didn't have a pen, so I took a reaaalllyy close up picture of my finger and scribbled on the photo to explain.. My favourite thing ever? They've included the actual pictures in the article.

These are the excited & exhausted faces of two people who’ve just finished filming the Ri Christmas Lectures 🐨🦁 Annoyingly, I failed to get a picture of the best bits: the 🤖, the 🎁, 🐦, 🔥,🧢, 🐾 or 👠 so you’re just gonna have to tune in on Boxing Day to see for yourselves.

I just don’t get it. How can politicians face the shame of making such loud declarations about something they fundamentally don’t understand? Am I missing a gene or something? Explain it to me.

This is not an important study. Neither its findings nor its methods are clear. It is flawed to the point where it has no use. I’m sympathetic to David Davis not understanding cluster randomisation, bias in trials, t-tests and Kaplan Meier analyses, but...

In a strange twist of fate, it seems the first coronavirus patient to be infected in the UK is from Haslemere -the very place we used for our 2018 citizen science experiment: the BBC Pandemic. Here's a news piece from the time. Bit close to home, huh.

Y'know, if the tories had just given every single non-Tory voter in the country a £50 bribe, it would've cost £70m less than the DUP deal 🤔

I heard a good comparison: walking home as a woman is like visibly carrying a big stack of cash through the streets at night. You're hyper-vigilant & fearful of attack from passers-by. So strange that half of us know this feeling so well, but we still need analogies to explain.

Sarah Everard did everything right. Everything women are 'supposed' to. Bright clothing. Main road. Called her man. Every woman I know in Clapham doesn't feel safe at night. Not to walk home from work, to exercise, to walk to the shop. I wish more men understood this feeling.

I still consider myself a friend of the museum and will continue to support them wherever I can in their work making science accessible to the public. But being a good friend is sometimes about speaking honestly even when it is uncomfortable. That is what I am trying to do today.
