Name a more iconic bridge. I’ll wait.

Took my mobility scooter to the supermarket. In news that will not shock any wheelchair users, it was shocking to me how many items, even those on shelves at a seated eye/shoulder height were so far back that you couldn't reach the items whilst seated in the scooter. #WhatAccesssibility #disability

Has anyone ever successfully used Autocrop in MS Word? If so please tell me your secrets, it never works for me. Always clips some important bit

Not Australian but this just rocks. Kids in bed? OK headphones on for 12 minutes youtu.be/Rz6__sLHPNA?...

I have two open postdoctoral researcher positions in my group. I am looking for applicants with interest and expertise in computational structural biology and research software development. These positions are part of GANANA, a collaborative European/Indian project Check www.uu.nl/en/organisat...

This account is for sharing info with US scientists, both extramural and intramural to NIH, about attacks on science in the US. Education is power, and we can help advocate for science and medicine together. 💪🧪 We are a team of NIH people. Please ask us questions you might have.

A mask is one of the most effective tools of the resistance. A well fitted respirator like an N95 protects from Covid, flu, H5N1, TB, measles & more. It sends a strong message to the government that your health is worth protecting & that you will not obey in advance. It makes activism accessible

Stop calling it the US government. They are not and have no intention of governing. They seek to rule.

Peter Dutton spks on “dark chapters” of the past, marking the 17th anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations. “We’ve accepted those chapters & apologised for them” No you didn’t, you didn’t have the stomach to say sorry & walked out. Fkn racist liar.

Search your camera roll for “bird” and post an image

Haven't seen much MSM coverage of the stealth expansion by Project 2025 from DEI to DEIA, especially out here in Australia. Calling on Australia to call this what it is: *Racism + *Resegregationism + *Sexism + *Transphobia + *Ableism + = Eugenics

Trump fires National Archives chief even though she wasn’t the archivist when Trump was found to have stolen classified documents. politi.co/4gvUVtA

I nominate Tiller for transport secretary

I have run out of patience with the apparent silence of most US science institutions (and not just US) in the face of Trump & Musk's rampage. There are of so many facets of that, but in this column for @chemistryworld.com I talk about the assaults on inclusion. www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/scie...
