IBS is so debilitating. Been ill this week, and infections always trigger a flare-up. Itโ€™s also been much worse since abdominal surgery. Absolutely crippling pain the last few days ๐Ÿ˜ข

Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices. However, this yearโ€™s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has shown that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same

I think the sign that you enjoy your job is logging on for 5 mins on a Saturday afternoon, not because you feel you have to or because anyone expects it, but because you are really interested in seeing the results. I havenโ€™t felt this way about work since my PhD ๐Ÿ˜Š

Sub 1:17 Oxford Half and 3rd woman. After a marathon 1wk ago, itโ€™s time to give my legs a rest! 3.5 years away from competing, but Iโ€™ve really enjoyed returning and found my love of running again. Itโ€™s different now, being a mum. I just want to make my son proud and inspire him

Going down with cold number 3 in just 6 weeks. Itโ€™s only October ๐Ÿ˜ข with the kiddo starting nursery in March this year we only got the tail end of the winter bugs earlier in the year, but I can just sense our first full winter nursery season isnโ€™t going to be fun for anyone โ€ฆ

Yesterday was my final day as a JRF Centre for Personalised Medicine, Oxford (+ bsky) St Anne's College. Itโ€™s been a fabulous 2 years, and Iโ€™ve been privileged to work with an incredible team. If youโ€™d like to pick up the baton, check out the CPMโ€™s previous tweets for how to apply for one of two available JRF roles!

Genuinely how do people afford multiple children? We pay ยฃ1800/month on a fulltime nursery place for 14mo old. By the time weโ€™ve paid the mortgage, utility bills and food shopping, there is nothing left each month and we both have decently paid jobs in software design and biotech

This might be the most obtuse pavement parking we've seen. Blocking the whole of the pavement and pushing pedestrians further into the middle of the road. Apparently this is a regular occurrence, says the submitter. Gwenyth Rd Littlemore

Deleting this platform from my phone for a little bit/forever depending on how I get on. Sadly it seems like one canโ€™t have an opinion without getting horrible replies, and the news is depressing enough without doom scrolling even more. On Facebook and WhatsApp if you want me.
