What do you get when you mix science & drag? #ScienceIsADrag – an amazing event that centers the LGBTQ+ STEM community, “challenging stereotypes of scientists and giving a platform to academics that have been marginalized”- @heysciencesam. bit.ly/2Z14j0y

Science communication 💬 may be thriving, but is it changing hearts and minds? 🤔 Our Head of Communications, @markgfh argues that #science won't speak for itself - only people who appreciate it can do that wellc.me/2DYGe1r #TogetherScienceCan
Wrong, wrong and wrong! 100% #TeamCoffee DTC genetic testing company #23andMe predicts I drink less coffee than average. Talking about value of these services on @AlbertaatNoon today! @CBCHealth
