Cambridge introduced the ScD in 1883; Venn was admitted to the degree in 1884; doctors in Science and Letters chose their colours in 1889

this election is a great occasion for gown spotting: I caught a glimpse of one made by Bruce Maltby

I thought I was suffering a lingering cold - but it was cancer Anson Mackay, who lives in London , initially contacted his GP in January 2020 after suffering a symptom he assumed was the result of the aftermath of a cold.

It's not often I appear in the Daily Mail, but if this helps more people get vaccinated against HPV, then all to the good! #fuckcancer #cansky

See if you can spot the errors though 😅

As academic Bluesky grows, researchers find strengths—and shortcomings Platform fosters collegial interactions among scientists, but potentially limits interactions beyond the academic community

Scientists are starting to study—and debate—how the unique features of Bluesky might affect discussions of research and workplace culture, and efforts to engage with the public. scim.ag/428RTYG

Two photos of Anna, a young white woman using an electric wheelchair, wearing a blue lab coat that fits her well with tables and dry-lab equipment in the background. Text reads: "A team of researchers and designers led by UCL is looking for wheelchair users working in wet lab environments to user-test what is believed to be the first-ever prototype of a lab coat adapted for wheelchair users."

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users?

Despite a massive head start, BlueSky has now overtaken Threads in the US 👇

A promotional image about the Cambridge Scicomm Socials, indicating the date and place of the next event (Thursday 5 December, from 6.30pm onwards at the Tram Depot pub). The image has Christmasy vibes, with red and green colours, some decorations and a gingerbread man, and says "Come and connect with Cambridge scicomm-ers".

Good morning! ☀️ I assume a lot of #Cambridge #scicomm folk moved here, so a quick FYI that we'll have our next meet-up on Thursday 5 December, from 6.30pm onwards at the Tram Depot (CB1 1DY) 🎁🎄☃️ Fun jumpers totally optional! 😛 Please share with your skylines 🌆🦋 and co-workers, everyone's welcome 🤗

👋 new followers. This feed only really comes alive once a month or so

I am absolutely delighted that all my favorite climate scientist colleagues from social media are here on bluesky now. You will not regret following a single one of these smart and committed human beings who are fighting for a better future for us all.

A tale of two platforms:

BlueSky user numbers have hit a new record high in recent days, while the number of people deleting their accounts on X/Twitter has rocketed 🚀

November the 4th be with you!!

Happy the 4th of May!!

April the 4th be with you!!

I know the RSC poster competition is on LinkedIn, but might as well share my poster here too, in case it is of interest to anyone! #Chemistry #ChemSky #EduSky #Scicomm

Hello 👋

Hi 👋

I don’t really say much on here, so um… hello 👋
