Get so tired of STEM businesses/courses/departments saying there is nothing they can do about gender balance, it's 'naturally' that way. Glad to see this is now officially a comedy excuse!

I so need a "sleeping-not-dead" folder! 😂

TIMELINE CLEANSE

I would also suggest that a woman demanding to be paid what she's worth is still considered a "talking point", whereas a man making the same request is not news.

I'm a Medical Physicist, a Positron Emission Tomography specialist. The technology, in its current form, is almost exactly as old as I am. It's so exciting to see new developments year on year on year throughout my career and work on implementing and optimising them.

Similarly, I'm not that bothered about the box at Arsenal, but in general I don't mind that we're questioning what the PM gets for free and what he doesn't. Makes a change from Johnson constantly freeloading and everyone just shrugging.

The IgNobels are often mocked but they are often genuinely revelatory. An excellent example -

Nah, utter tosh. Science impacts every area of society, it is just as political as any other field of human endeavour. Well done Scientific American for seeing what is at stake in the forthcoming US presidential election, and backing the candidate who accepts facts and data.

Have finally made the jump to bsky with same username - this account will still be held open and updated infrequently. Also on LinkedIn, instagram and working on Threads... linktr.ee/drheatherwilli…

This isn't an AI fail. It's a human fail. Check the settings, check who emails are going to, check if you still want it to keep recording. Using AI responsibly means, among other things, putting guardrails in place and checking they're working.

"There is more to know than what you can count"

Factcheck: Maternity pay has existed since 1911 & is essential for women to make informed, supported reproductive choices. It is also currently at a level where 71% of women worry 'a lot' about money during maternity leave and 35% of new mothers skip meals to afford to live.

Great to see data to back up anecdata...

“Women are not some piece of collectively owned community property the disposition of which is decided by majority vote,” Fulton county judge Robert McBurney wrote.

So she was first author on his key paper - in fact she's on most of his key papers, yet she didn't get the Nobel Prize, in spite of the fact they could have given 3 awards, not just 2. Explain to me how STEM is not institutionally sexist.

7 Men. All science Nobels this year went to men. Well done men.

Popped back on to Twitter just to block all the people who think I don't deserve to call myself Dr or Consultant Medical Physicist, and think I somehow got this job without understanding IRMER compliance. I mean, for real?! Some of you *seriously* need to spend less time here.
