University chemistry departments & course closures in the UK is leading to the emergence of ‘cold spots’ - areas where the subject cannot be studied within a reasonable travel time - says @rsc.org. Students from lower SE backgrounds could be affected the most: www.chemistryworld.com/news/chemist...

We want everyone in the chemical sciences community to feel welcome, supported and valued, so we're sad to see some people seize on yesterday's supreme court ruling with anti-trans messages. Today, we're highlighting our resources on allyship for trans colleagues and friends

Finally got around to something that's been on the to do list for ages today. Putting together a timeline of all the work @sciencecampaign.bsky.social did with many others to secure association to Horizon Europe. www.sciencecampaign.org.uk/about/achiev...
Horizon Europe Association - CaSE
Ahead of and since the UK’s decision to leave the EU in 2016, CaSE has successfully advocated for the UK to associate with Horizon Europe and other EU research programmes.
