Question for Scientists: I am reading & hearing of a growing move to ditch the , , , **** to indicate statistical significance & instead annotate graphs with the actual p value. Are you already doing this in your paper submissions? Journal dependent? 🧪

Dear Lab Heads, Wondering if there are any novel strategies you use to avoid students & junior career people being last minute with academic tasks that need feedback. I'd prefer more carrot than stick ideas if they are out there. Thanks for your thoughts 🧪

On #WorldCancerDay, Feb 4th, especially thinking of the women who advise us on our research who have walked in the shoes of having #ovariancancer. In remission, currently dealing with recurrence and some who have lost their lives. I hope as researchers we will keep doing better. #WorldCancerDay2025

Took a few hundred years for the British royal family but a great decision. Women who have a platform, whether you agree or not with why they do, must be judged on what they say & do, over how they look. Especially important to send this message to younger people learning the power of their voice.

My lab, the Translational Oncology Group (TOG), acquired this little bear last yr. The students named him TOG Junior. TOG Junior has just returned from his 2nd trip to China where he acquired this lovely warm coat! He's had a backpack crocheted for him & is well & truly settled in as lab mascot 😀 🧪

Failure is always in the background of any creative project; when the experiments are not working or the results don’t seem to make sense. But for discovery, you can’t deny yourself the permission to fail, and we should better teach failure in all its glory.

Very much admire people who speak their truths, not just in the relative safety of like-minded office or corridor conversations, but publicly & directly where it matters & not without risk to self. This is brave. Adding this one to my reading list. #MariannBudde #LearnToBeBrave

Beautiful #MatsumotoCastle lit up last night. Worth braving -5C to stand & watch this changing vision. Built in the 1500s in Japan’s feudal era, it is only here today as communities of the past fought for it to remain. Kind of like when we fight for things we love today. #Japan #Nagano #traveller

Interesting list of 802 cities by population. Numbers 1, 2 & 3, Tokyo, Delhi, Shanghai respectively. Hits you like a brick that Tokyo has many more people than the whole of Australia. The sheer density of this city is breathtaking.
