So she was first author on his key paper - in fact she's on most of his key papers, yet she didn't get the Nobel Prize, in spite of the fact they could have given 3 awards, not just 2. Explain to me how STEM is not institutionally sexist.

A special 🙏this week to SAS educators, many of who faced systemic (gradist and intersectional) barriers to become trainers of the next generation of medical and MDT colleagues. Clinical & ed supervisors, College tutors, DMEs, TPDs, Associate Deans, Med School Deans- keep 🌟.

Home Education: who’s going to tell the Minister that a large proportion of children with SEND “electively” home educated are nothing of the sort, but are at home as there is no place available to meet their needs, or they’re too traumatised to attend? #gHL947.r0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=2024…

And here he breaks down while explaining the absolute trauma experienced by smaller hospitals in particular - the "healthier" ICU patients were transferred out, leaving them coping with so much death. They felt so alone.

Very excited that my book 'The Autistic Postgraduate Woman: Navigating the Neurotypical University' is now available for pre-order from @PavPub. Foreword by the brilliant @DrAmyPearson. pavpub.com/catalogue-2024… #AutisticsInAcademia @WAARC_Sheffield @EducationSheff

Love this creative showcase of us in work today ❤️ we are pretty awesome @RCPhysicians 👏 congratulations Liverpool cohort of new consultants, you are an inspiration and already doing amazing things in the NHS #MedEd

We are battling through and not at this point… yet! But fear it happening!

Huw Edwards sentencing: As described on the BBC: “Emotional, as the court heard about his mental health problems…and an upbringing where his failure to get into Oxford left him feeling like an outsider at the BBC.” Ridiculous. There is absolutely no excuse for what he did.

@jamiesmart I thought it was a scouse thing, can only hear it in that accent 🤣

No one says pack it in when they’re angry anymore do they. Do they? Oh pack it in. It’s a dad phrase. It’s disappearing with the dads. Pack it in. Oh do pack it in. Great stuff.

My heart is broken💔: As friends & family know, my wife was pregnant with our 2nd child, & about to begin her 2nd trimester. A few days ago she had severe pains, & bleeding, and had to go to the emergency room. There, it was discovered that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Devastated doesn't come close to what that feels like. Unfortunately for people like us, because of the current laws in the state of Texas, that was only the beginning of this nightmare. Jess (my wife) had an "incomplete miscarriage", and what needed to happen, what was best for HER, and her health, was to terminate the pregnancy, and get the baby out. The doctor gave her a medication that would move this process along, and sent her home. Where, apparently we would be handling it ourselves. We were told it might take a couple of attempts before it worked. I'll let you decide how you feel about that. After a long, painful night of the equivalent of early labor, the baby was still with her. So, we went back to the Emergency Center to get the 2nd dose. A new doctor was on call. He was an older man. You could hear him in the hallway as he said, "I'm not giving her a pill so she can go home and have an ab*rtion!". Being well aware that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Then, he came into the room to say, and I quote: "Considering the current stance. I'm not going to prescribe you this pill". Then, just sent us on our way. The "CURRENT STANCE"?! Did he really just say that?! No one should ever have to hear their wife say: "Get this dead baby out of me!". Can you even imagine how that must feel? The pain, and the bleeding continued. So, we decided to go to another hospital, about an hour away. There was a female doctor on call there, and we thought we might have better luck. I should probably mention, the procedure to get the baby out is called a D & C. It's scary, & traumatizing, but sometimes necessary in situations like ours. Especially in emergency circumstances. So we get to the next hospital. They take Jess in, ask her a bunch of questions, do a new scan... confirm that the baby is still there, with no heartbeat, and then disappear... for hours. Only to come back in and keep asking the same questions over and over. It's becoming clear that they're primary concern is NOT my wife's health. Instead, they seem to be worried about the legalities involved. So, they decide it is not "enough of an emergency" to perform the D & C. They do, however, prescribe another, stronger, final dose of the medication for us to try again... at home. So, we go home to try again. Another long day/night of early labor pains. Only to discover my wife UNCONSCIOUS in the bathroom. Having to pick my wife's cold, limp body off of that bathroom floor, not sure if I was about to lose her, is something I will NEVER forget. She had to be rushed to the hospital. By this point she had lost so much blood, and bodily fluid, her body gave out. They were able to stabilize her, give her the fluids she needed, and we came back home yesterday afternoon. We were also able to confirm that our baby was no longer with her. Now, not only do we have to live with the loss of our baby... we have to live with the nightmare of what we just experienced because of political and religious beliefs. MY WIFE'S HEALTH SHOULD HAVE COME FIRST. PERIOD! God knows what mental and emotional damage this has done. If you consider yourself a staunch "pro-lifer" ... 1) You've never been through what we just went through, and 2) You should take a long, hard look in the mirror and reevaluate your reasons for supporting such a cold, barbaric, ignorant point of view. It's not that black & white, and it's never going to be. If you think your "Pray To End Ab*rtion" sign in your yard is "Christian", I suggest you revisit the teachings of Jesus and try again. If you support these laws that make ab*rtion illegal, and result in people being put through what we just were, you should be ashamed of yourself. I've never been so angry, or heartbroken... and the devastation I'm feeling must pale in comparison to what my poor wife is feeling.

@chezhedge @Dr_Tre_Crew @Newman_Uni Congratulations Dr Hedges 🙌🎉🎉
