The UK has sunk to new lows on trans rights in the last year but we’ll continue to fight for the right of all our trans and non-binary siblings to be free to be who they are.

Please help my colleagues, who are working on an important survey! #NaturalHistory
a graphic with a photo of Alfredo, a white man with tousled dark hair and a short beard wearing a blue hoodie and a black jacket, with a castle and a a twilight sky behind him. The text reads "Dr Alfredo Carpineti (he/him) is the founder of Pride in STEM, a charity which supports and promotes LGBTQIA+ people in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)."
A graphic with the text "Alfredo is an astrophysicist, science communicator and social activist. Born near Rome, he moved to London for his MSc and PhD, where he lives with his husband and their corgi. It was in London too that his passion for astrophysics began, as a child on holiday: reading about a hypothesis that a supernova killed the dinosaurs led to a book about space, a telescope, and ultimately, his own book. Invisible Rainbows, his first book, explores the universe beyond the light that we can see -- in infrared, ultraviolet, X-ray and the whole spectrum."
History doesn't stop at the end of the month, so we're not going to either.
Dr Alfredo Carpineti (he/him; @drcarpineti.bsky.social) is the founder of Pride in STEM (@prideinstem.bsky.social), a charity which supports and promotes LGBTQIA+ people in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
🎬 As we continue our collaboration with @q-reatives.bsky.social, Liam shares with us what Black History Month means to him. Join us as we honor the legacy, brilliance, and ongoing contributions of Black queer communities in STEM and beyond.

Last Saturday, I was invited to do a talk at Norwich Science Festival's #OutThinkers: an event all about LGBTQ+ people in STEM.
Thanks to @samfrowe.bsky.social for the invite and @prideinstem.bsky.social for sponsoring! (and sorry @drcarpineti.bsky.social for saying I didn't like physics 🤣)

Graphic reading 'the UK Government-commissioned 'Sullivan Review' of sex and gender in data and research collection threatens British research and trans inclusion. Here's why.'
📣 Today @felicitycallard.bsky.social and I have published the first peer-reviewed response to the 'Sullivan Review' of research and data on sex and gender.
doi.org/10.1111/tran...
The Review could threaten trans rights and inclusion, erode academic freedom, and undermine research quality.
In April, #PrideinSTEM turns 10! We will have a celebration for it, and we would like to recognize individuals who have had a positive impact on LGBTQIA+ People in STEM, here in the UK!
Do you know someone who fits that description?
