I know several amazing science postdocs at Uni's in the UK, who are now at breaking point, falling out of love with science, and thinking of leaving academia 💔 all because of the current lack of support, increased workload and stress of their jobs.

"There is now a feeling international scientists are unwelcome in the UK." Impact of visa restrictions on scientists (amongst others) coming to the UK. The cost is crazy high, no wonder amazing scientists are starting to not want to come here to work.

Following evidence to the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee, BBC Politics East recently spoke to Dr Carolina Grandellis, Head of Earlham #Biofoundry and @talbotlabtsl.bsky.social about the impact of visa restrictions and costs on the UK’s ability to fill skills gaps with global talent.

"Queering data: the world of data implies fixed identities and truths - something incompatible with queer philosophies and histories. What can queer methods and practices tell us about resisting the world of data?" Speakers paid £150 plus travel expenses
