🧵ON PERIODS: At The Cosmic Shambles Network #NineCarols on Sat, I talked about how we are neglecting women's pain & bleeding. The continuing stigma and silence around periods is pathetic, wrong, devastating for women and economically nonsensical. Some facts. 1/23 theguardian.com/society/2022/d…

Dear NCBI National Library of Medicine in our institution Newcastle University in the UK we cannot access Pubmed or any other NIH/NCBI website anymore. this has been intermittently going on for months! Out IT says it comes from your side. can you please look into this! thanks a lot!

We have a funded PhD project in the lab in September! Joint with P&G, with time in their research labs too & a mini MBA. We will be looking for and characterising new glycoprotease enzymes #glycotime findaphd.com/phds/project/n… (UK students only, unfortunately)

Early stage PhD students - when your supervisor reassures you in the first year or so that all your data will come together in the end and you'll get more in the last 6 months than the previous 3 years altogether; trust us! Learning science isn't linear.💜

PhD applications are still open for this project on C. perfringens and how it uses different glycans. It's been a bit difficult to apply, but I've posted the exact link below now. If there are any students interested in enzymes/microbes/glycobiology then please pass this on
