The wonder of Voyager: This is the most beautiful thread I’ve read in a long time.

Essential reading for all UK academics (and almost certainly applies elsewhere too) - thank you @masudhusain.bsky.social for articulating so clearly the risks that are posed to our core research and education work by this direction of travel

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? Please share far & wide! Interest form: forms.office.com/e/66FhcQjqRT More info: www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/new...

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."

Just back from a fascinating day discussing #humanfactors in accident investigations with the Royal Society of Medicine and the British Academy of Forensic Sciences - interesting to see key cognitive factors like distraction and vigilance decrements coming up so frequently @roysocmed.bsky.social

Whew! Popping back here briefly to discuss a very eventful few days. On Sat, a SNOW BUNTING appears at Hayward Regional. 😱 The bird is stunning & super-rare in the East Bay. Many birders go to see it. It's living its best life on a white/brown plastic culvert that it maybe thinks is snow? 1/

Absolutely stunning white bird with brown/black markings. In the background is a wide grey plastic sheet that's streaked with brown.

Absolutely this 👇. One of the best explanations about this describes how 'nice culture' can be as harmful as 'nasty culture'- and much harder to call out because it casts the dissenting person as 'not nice'. But 'nice culture' stifles cognitive diversity. www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-...
