📢 The Gender + Sexuality Data Lab is hiring a Research Assistant to join its project, ‘Box Breakers: Improving Organisational Data Practices for Minoritised Communities’.

We're proud to introduce Brainbow, a new Slack workspace for LGBTQIA+ people in neuroscience worldwide. Brainbow aims to provide a safe space, even for those in the closet (emails & names are optional). It also includes channels for communities within the LGBTQIA+ umbrella (eg, trans/non-binary) 1/2

Slack is a new way to communicate with your team. It’s faster, better organized, and more secure than email.

For those coming to our Pride Picnic in Green Park - look for and get in touch with @drcarpineti.bsky.social

Vital analysis of how the EHRC have misled global human rights regulators and parliament about the nature of criticisms of the UK and the EHRC from the UN independent expert on sexual orientation and gender identity.

TACC@tacc.org.uk · last mo.

The EHRC repeatedly suggested the UN Independent Expert had misunderstood its position. The newly released correspondence tells a more complicated story, showing that after reviewing the Commission's objections, he reaffirmed his conclusions instead of retracting them. tacc.org.uk/2026/07/03/h...

As I’ve said before, any serious attempt to ban conversion practices in Britain has to confront the fact that the NHS never stopped doing it. This draft bill not only fails, it explicitly gives “healthcare providers” permission to continue.

Nancy Kelley@nancymk.bsky.social · last mo.

I've spent years working towards a ban on conversion practices, hoping to see a bill published. Today, I just feel so profoundly sad. As many others have noted, the draft has a carve out for "healthcare" so broad it makes a mockery of the idea this is a 'ban'. 1/2 www.gov.uk/government/p...

We are at the emergency protest against the extremely discriminatory EHRC guidelines #TransRightsAreHumanRights🏳️‍⚧️

Today is #IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia). It marks the day in 1990 that homosexuality was removed from the WHO Classification of Diseases. Celebrate queer friends, and challenge discrimination. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna... 📸 Minus18

Pride in STEM is 10, so we had to throw ourselves a little party! prideinstem.org/2026/04/23/p...

Pride in STEM is 10 this month, and we are so proud to celebrate these 10 change-makers who were proposed and voted in by the community. Read about their work, their impact, and their commitment to improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ people in STEM and beyond, here: prideinstem.org/2026/04/01/t...

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

Senthorun S. Raj@senthorun.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility. Solidarity today and everyday with trans and non-binary folk who claim space unapologetically. As governments turn trans visibility into a matter of “ideology,” we must refuse to see trans lives as a debate and instead nurture trans joy, safety, and belonging.

🌈 Pride in STEM (@prideinstem.bsky.social) turns 10 this year! Join us on 17 April at the Royal Society of Chemistry for an evening of celebration, community, canapés - and cake. 🎟️ Get your free tickets before they're snapped up, and see you there! www.outsavvy.com/event/34281/...

Please help my colleagues, who are working on an important survey! #NaturalHistory

leland c. graber@bug4bug.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Do you (or have you ever) worked with natural history collections? Are you trans or non-binary? If you said "yes" to both of those, @rin-krichilsky.bsky.social and I want to hear from you! Please consider filling out our survey and please share with others! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🐛🦕🦴🌿 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

History doesn't stop at the end of the month, so we're not going to either. Dr Alfredo Carpineti (he/him; @drcarpineti.bsky.social) is the founder of Pride in STEM (@prideinstem.bsky.social), a charity which supports and promotes LGBTQIA+ people in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

🎬 As we continue our collaboration with @q-reatives.bsky.social, Liam shares with us what Black History Month means to him. Join us as we honor the legacy, brilliance, and ongoing contributions of Black queer communities in STEM and beyond. #BlackVoices #QueerInSTEM

Last Saturday, I was invited to do a talk at Norwich Science Festival's #OutThinkers: an event all about LGBTQ+ people in STEM. Thanks to @samfrowe.bsky.social for the invite and @prideinstem.bsky.social for sponsoring! (and sorry @drcarpineti.bsky.social for saying I didn't like physics 🤣)
