“Heterosexuality and the gender binary assumptions lead to increased levels of discrimination and harassment of LGBTQI+ people, and ultimately their exclusion, unless they downplay their gender identity, sexual orientation or gender expression to fit in.” Excellent ally guide!

I’m overjoyed to finally to announce that I’ve signed a book deal with @alorentzen at @VikingBooks for my generational memoir, LEGACY: A BLACK PHYSICIAN RECKONS WITH RACISM IN MEDICINE. LEGACY is a book about racism in healthcare, but it’s also a call to action. Thread.

This is so worth 6 minutes of your day. @IanMcKellen responding calmly and eloquently to (at times rather inane) questions on the campaign to repeal Section 28. His beauty is slightly distracting but you soon get past that as what he says is so utterly compelling.
This interview is fascinating not just because of the content, but also because it shows quite how impoverished public discourse has become as a result of an editorial obsession with polarisation and conflict. Editors, directors, presenters, producers – please, please take note.

Exactly this. You get what you recruit and what you promote.
"Finding leaders with that empathy gene to care can be quite hard when we don't necessarily promote people based on empathy," says @MingYLong on class inclusion and leadership #ClassAtWork

Although I just started in March this year, my experience with @EPSRC Engineering SAT has been overwhelmingly positive and affirming for me. We need representation and a diversity of voices because we are trying to get things to change! #Apply

I just don't understand why opening back up as people get vaccinated also has to mean closing down all the accessibile alternatives created in the last year
