Today is Bi Visibility Day! Bi experiences are sometimes ignored, forgotten or misrepresented, both within the LGBTQIA+ community and the wider world. Bi identities are valid, wonderful and need to be celebrated. BE PROUD. BE VISIBLE. YOU ARE LOVED. #BiVisibilityDay

As I’ve said before, any serious attempt to ban conversion practices in Britain has to confront the fact that the NHS never stopped doing it. This draft bill not only fails, it explicitly gives “healthcare providers” permission to continue.

Full Statement: prideinstem.org/2026/05/26/s...

After the release of the new EHRC draft guidelines, we, the trustees of Pride in STEM condemn this guidance for the potential harm it poses to trans people in their everyday lives within the UK, and its lack of consideration towards improving the welfare of cis women here.

Both the cis and trans members of the committee stand in solidarity with our trans siblings at Pride in STEM, in STEM more broadly, and the wider trans community.

This is an urgent issue that affects all of us in the STEM community. Inclusive access and participation for trans people in STEM, from youth engagement to employment is, and will continue to be a solid foundation of Pride in STEM. We urge our community to object to this guidance as a result.

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.

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."
