I'd like to submit a proposal for an edited collection of studies with working-class people in HE with the intention to include voices from academics, students, Prof services, admin, ancillary workers & others. Would anyone be interested collaborating/contributing? #workingclass

When peer-review works, constructive criticism makes the original story so much more compelling. This is one such story: Biological and Genetic Determinants of Glycolysis: PFK Isoforms Boost Energy Status of Stored Red Blood Cells and Transfusion Outcomes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


For when you are preparing for the new year's presentations remember these handy tips.

Mini #tweetorial for anyone who wants to learn how to do a good PowerPoint presentation: Tip 1: Look and sound bored. Sigh a lot.



Merry Christmas everyone, and good luck for your grants! Thanks to @ErrantScience for being both happily festive and painfully accurate, all in a single panel.

I am very excited to share the final story of my PhD, online now as a pre-print in @biorxivpreprint, where we dissect the opposing effects of antibody-feedback and memory T cell help on recall germinal centers (GCs). 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
