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 🤣)
Day 27 of @lgbthm.bsky.social with @prideinstem.bsky.social a UK-based charity supporting LGBT+ scientists founded in 2016 by Alfredo Carpineti, a space correspondent at IFLScience, his husband Chris and Matt Young, a researcher at the University of Nottingham. @unisonlgbtplus.bsky.social #LGBTHM
Just a few more days to nominate people to our awards!!
Here's a list I put together for @prideinstem.bsky.social, although it's a year or two old. prideinstem.org/2024/11/18/t...
Dr Robin Hayward will be exploring the role of identity in communicating science, drawing from personal experiences in the field and from their work to create an LGBTQ+ inclusive toolkit for safe and equitable fieldwork #LGBTQSTEM #LGBTQhistorymonth
Eve Armstrong will be sharing her work on creating and running Queer Nature workshops. Join us to hear how they help people find comfort in and express themselves through the natural world in this hands-on session
#ostem #lgbthm26 #stemlgbtqu #lgbtqstem
Dr Katherine Holmes’ session brings something a little different: an introductory improv workshop! We’ll build confidence and science communication skills while having fun in a supportive, safe space playing games inspired by you and your STEM passions!
#lgbthm #ostem #lgbtqstem #STEMLGBTQU
Namkeen’s talk will explore how transgender and gender-diverse individuals navigate STEM-related spaces and the importance of inclusive ecosystems that value lived experience alongside innovation, with global perspectives from community-led advocacy

We're happy to share our first Research Spotlight! Dr. Janssen's publication was selected as an Editor's Pick in the Journal of Virology, in which they propose using viruses as gene-delivery tools in mosquitoes. Read the full paper here: tinyurl.com/3efv4vzs

If you would like to consider me - over the last 5 years I have done asexual in STEM advocacy, engaged LGBTQ+ folks with science and helped raise the visibility of LGBTQ+ scientists in education.
Thanks to @shaunoboyle.bsky.social for this very helpful resource when preparing prideinstem.org/2024/11/18/t...

Graphic reading 'the UK Government-commissioned 'Sullivan Review' of sex and gender in data and research collection threatens British research and trans inclusion. Here's why.'
📣 Today @felicitycallard.bsky.social and I have published the first peer-reviewed response to the 'Sullivan Review' of research and data on sex and gender.
doi.org/10.1111/tran...
The Review could threaten trans rights and inclusion, erode academic freedom, and undermine research quality.
In April, #PrideinSTEM turns 10! We will have a celebration for it, and we would like to recognize individuals who have had a positive impact on LGBTQIA+ People in STEM, here in the UK!
Do you know someone who fits that description?
Nominate them here:

and we could also ask EDI organisations to clarify on their website whether they are trans and non-binary inclusive! These are just my initial thoughts, I'm open to other ideas as well. anyone interested, my DMs are open! @prideinstem.bsky.social
a language guide, showcasing the work of trans and non-binary people (for EDI organisations to find speakers), creating a list of EDI organisations supportive of trans and non-binary people (so they know which events they can go to),
I'm looking for people who would like to co-create a resource helping EDI organisations in academia to be more trans and non-binary inclusive. Ideas include:
Join us for a one-day symposium celebrating Trans+ students and researchers in STEM at the Royal Society of Chemistry in London on 27th February!

The first review of The Edge of Space-Time (based on 1st pass pages!) is out from Kirkus and it's a strong one -- though I genuinely think The Invisible Enby and non-trinary neutrinos would vigorously object to being called queer slant-free "old hat" 💅🏽🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
