Is this gender bias in automated descriptions or is it based on what the subject is most well known for? And if it is the latter, is there not a responsibility to adjust descriptors?
After all, Barker is presumably a sports television presenter because of her sporting career.

I'm not here often because I'm on the CModS account instead but this match and what it represents was brilliant and I'm so glad they're not stopping.
I played for the Y6 girl's team when I was in Y5 because I loved it and was good enough. At secondary, I couldn't play any more.

Hey gender and identity people; who am I looking for if I want an inbetween of Butler's performativity and an essentialist viewpoint? Who argues that the self is the product of both performance and an inner, essential selfhood/"core doer behind the deed"? #AcademicChatter

Although I've had to tweet about the #REF2021 results over on the department's twitter page, take a look at this depressing statistic

@zaynab_seedat @openinnovteam Amazing! Good luck ☺ I'm waiting to hear back about funding for a place in September so I will be watching your tweets with interest!

This week, I have started a 3-month internship as a policy advisor with @openinnovteam
Though literature and policy are different, the literature has still found its way to me!

@zaynab_seedat @UoYEnglish @ucu Thank you! You do too! 😁 Including the ones that got taken down, it was a very brave move!

@E_Maus @UoYEnglish @ucu Hi, it's nice to meet you too! I think you do such a great job with your Twitter account!
English
You might have noticed my tweets over @UoYEnglish were taken down.
I've never received any formal training for the role & have always used my best judgement
No training and no contract = casualisation, one of the things I am striking about

Forgot to say what my paper is about!
I'll be discussing how Ghosts (the BBC version) and What We Do in the Shadows (the TV series) reflect the "horror" of forced cohabitation in the covid lockdown with comedic catharsis. #IGA2022 #IGADublin #GothsAssemble

Ayyy I’ve been accepted for #IGA2022 in Dublin this summer! Also my first time in Ireland since getting Irish citizenship! Any fellow Goths going?

It's easy to want to fill an awkward silence. Often, however, a pause in conversation is time people need to think. When conducting research, and maybe just in normal conversations, try to trust the questions that you ask and avoid filling the silence after asking a question.

@GhostingDani @IGADublin2022 Sounds very interesting! Congrats ☺

Tweeting this again because seeing posts/tweets that don’t mention disability pay gap. Wonder why disability is frequently forgotten?
Prof. Bethan Evans@DrBEvans
Some summaries of @ucu action only mention gender & ethnicity in relation to pay gaps but just a reminder that there’s a disability pay gap too. #WhyImStriking I’m also striking because of the dreadful affects of casualistion & workload @ULivUCU2
