Only just heard the shockingly sad news about the wonderful Georgina Mace. I'd interacted with Georgina on and off for years. She was amazing. @UCLCBER is a credit to her. I'm floored. Georgina I'm going to miss you terribly. Thanks for everything.

Today I saw @drewpurves inspire an audience of GCSE students with his path from research to Microsoft to Google DeepMind and how he has been paid well to work flexibly on exciting projects with cool colleagues from diverse backgrounds and he gets free breakfast. FREE BREAKFAST.

@jonmsutton Thanks so much Jon! If talking about the fortunate career journey I've had, helped to encourage more young people, especially from underrepresented groups, into STEM careers ... then all good!

@markus_eichhorn @HannahJackson__ It sounds like it's your body's way of making sure you continue to give awesome talks! Whenever I have given a bad talk, because I wasn't nervous enough.

Is it normal to be unable to eat for fear of being sick because you’re so terrified that when you give a talk people will realise you’re inadequate? Does this ever go away, or am I destined for a life of pre-presenting hunger? #phdlife #sciencetwitter #impostersyndrome

@emble64 @BrentToderian Easy! A 'Roost' which balances on my lap and holds my laptop at near eye height, enabling me to work comfortably on my long train commute. Genuinely transformative for me!

@BrentToderian A trailer so small child + toys + snacks + books + blanket + shopping can accompany me out and about by bike. I was loaned one by a friend and then bought my own. Fun and life-transforming!

I’m not really into the idea of getting pleasure from buying stuff, but I’m wondering — what’s the one thing you’ve bought, made, borrowed or inherited in recent years that’s just been transformative in your life? Bonus points for answers that transform life for parents.

@seaotta Just teach. I.e. don't seek to impress. Instead seek to get your audience to understand what you did and why, and what you found.

One of the most pathetic—and dangerous—signs of our times is the growing number of individuals and groups who believe that no one can possibly disagree with them for any honest reason.

Great to see 1000 new AI conversion degree scholarships for people from underrepresented groups - a good step on the vital mission of ensuring AI opportunities for everyone. Proud of our work with Cambridge, Oxford & UCL offering scholarships in support of this. Lots more to do!

@ElenaBennett We'll music is personal of course (!) but Peter Gabriel's Secret World Tour live album, and Kate Bush's Aerial, are both long, and both benefit from repeated close listening!

I know that many of these suggestions must seem blindingly obvious and I hope not to have come across as condescending (particularly as I failed to implement many of these practices when I was an academic). Hopefully at least some will prove useful!
