Why do I care so much about getting a copy of #Inferior into all schools? Because I don’t want to just tell girls they can do anything. I want them to read it, be empowered, and join our fight for equality. #thisgirlcan

"One of our biggest frustrations over the past year is that we knew enough to act early on". the fantastic @ScienceMagazine article on prof @j_g_allen (10.1126/science.373.6555.612) includes this great graphic on how to improve ventilation and make buildings healthier.

In 12 days you all donated enough to get a copy of @AngelaDSaini ’s #Inferior in every school in the 🇬🇧 and 🇮🇪. Thank you for helping to empower young people to challenge bias. Thank you @4thEstateBooks . I don’t have the words to express how grateful I am, so... 😅💕

The handedness of circularly polarised light is reversed when it hits off a mirror, so left-handed light becomes right-handed + vice versa. You can see that by looking through 3D cinema 🕶s at the light reflected off beetle shells reflected in a mirror. #ChiralCrew @ExRdFestival

UK academics: @UKRI_News have a call for proposals to improve the access of Black students to postgraduate research. Projects can be up to £400k and last for up to 4 years. Don’t just tweet platitudes.

“A rising tide, but not for Black students,” 1/3 of US physics departments graduated zero Black majors between 1999 and 2020. This week’s @ScienceMagazine explores how physics excludes Black researchers:

i really hate complaining but (like many) i’ve had a very intense few weeks/months giving online talks + workshops. they take ages to prepare + so much energy to deliver. i cannot tell you how upsetting/ deflating it is when the organisers don’t send a message to say ‘thank you’.

👋🏽 Twitter fam, I need you! This is Clarice Phelps, possibly the first African-American woman to discover an element (117, Tennessine). I’ve started her Wikipedia page () but NEED MORE REFERENCES. Can anyone @ORNL / @UTAustin / @UTKnoxville help?

the representation of girls in A-Level physics (< 25% in England) has barely changed in ~ 30 years, despite good intentions + endless outreach campaigns. we *really* need to invest in quality physics education, train career advisors + tackle stereotypes beyond science classrooms.

Many girls are told that some subjects are more suited to boys. One of these subjects is physics. Did you know that in 2020, only 2.6% of girls chose A-level physics in England compared to 8.6% of boys? This needs to change. 1/2
