- Hey neurodivergent microbiologists: join our new global network ND in Micro!! We only launched a few days ago and we already have members in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Let’s spread the word and connect our global community!! #neurodivergent #microbiology #microbiologist #autistic #ADHD #virology
- We have a postdoc position available in which we’re using flavivirus replication/molecular biology to make refractory mosquitoes - in collaboration with the Trevor Sweeney lab at @pirbrightinst.bsky.social. Check out the advert on LinkedIn and apply by 12/6. www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...
- The Maringer lab stands with trans people everywhere. Remember: the judges involved urged politicians/media not to weaponise this clarification of terminology in the #equalityact in a senseless culture war. We are all stronger together #lgbtq+ #transrights #trans www.stonewall.org.uk/news/stonewa...

- To mark Autism Acceptance Month, here’s a delightful cat-themed comic from Tzipporah Johnston to explain the double empathy problem autistic and non-autistic people face when communicating with each other. #autism #autistic #neurodivergentinstem #neurodivergent doorinthewall.co.uk/wp-content/u...
- My mum works in a hospital and always impressed upon us that “you only get one chance at a good death”. The work in this article is so important for understanding how our demographics affect whether we get to die at home or in hospital.
