After over 19 years, I have left the University of Aberdeen. Sad to leave some great colleagues there but excited to explore new challenges and opportunities. Open to suggestions - get in touch 😊

Completely agree. It hugely reduces the value of the substantial time invested in reviewing grants. Just been on German and Portuguese panels, and many of best proposals were resubmissions, some improved massively following revisions based on reviewers comments.

Jen Gill@jengill.bsky.social · last yr.

This is a huge mistake. My experience on NERC panels is that resubmissions score higher and are more likely to be funded: the review process improves good proposals that should not be lost (along with the time spent on them).

What an amazing culmination of knowledge on Andean pollination biology, and a great team effort, led by the incredible @cristinaruedau.bsky.social

Eloisa Lasso De Paulis, PhD@elolasso.bsky.social · last yr.

Happy to be part of this effort led by CrisRuedas and the caminos network, which has just been published today. In it we review what has been done on pollination research in the tropical Andes and propose new lines of research. Pollination onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The transphobe position being expressed here is that autism sometimes causes people to falsely believe they are trans and that it's impossible to be both trans and autistic. This is of course false and is just another excuse to assert state dominance over trans lives.

FUCK OFF YOU ARSEHOLES. There is only so much professionalism, particular as a non-binary, autistic, individual, I can muster at the moment. Stop treating us as if we are "broken" as if we are "wrong". How hard is it to accept us as us? I want to cry at the way we are talked about.

NHS to test all 'trans' children for autism Every child referred to a gender clinic will be screened under new guidance following Cass Review ث Michael Searles Health Correspondent 27 April 2025 4:02pm BST The NHS will test all children who believe they are transgender for autism under new plans seen by The Telegraph. Every child referred to a gender clinic will be "screened for neurodevelopmental conditions" such as autism and ADHD under new guidance, to be introduced in the wake of the Cass review.

Right now in the UK being an ally or comrade to trans people will mean being willing to challenge and upset various people in your workplace, your sports club, the various institutions you are part of. Despairing or posting solidarity on social media won't help without also doing the hard stuff.

"Understanding and addressing barriers to LGBTQIA+ participation in bird ringing in the United Kingdom" Getting quite excited for ASAB this week and to present this project that has meant so much to me! if you're attending make sure to look for our poster and stop by for a chat about our work! 🪶🦆

Scientific poster that has been mostly blurred, but the background is dark blue and the title says "Understandang and addressing barriers to LGBTQIA+ participation in bird ringing in the United Kingdom", with a picture of the lead author (person with long brown hair, holding binoculars and wearing a black shirt that says "Nature is Queer" in rainbow letters
