“Racism is a reality for ethnic minority researchers… Currently, out of 575 professors of chemistry in the UK, only one is Black – and in his 15 yrs as a professor he has every one of his funding proposals rejected.” @BBCPallab for @BBCNews

How could the humble bean improve #GlobalHealth & #FoodSecurity?
@nadradz explores how hundreds of forgotten and sidelined bean species could change the game - including one plant that produces its own beans & chips #WorldPulsesDay @FAO

Wrote this article for yesterday’s #WorldPulsesDay to increase awareness on forgotten legumes and why they are important for our food security. Many thanks to @KathyGrube and Imogen (from The Conversation) for their help and support in writing this piece!

We call this ciku in Malay (pronounced as chi-koo). My sister loves this fruit! There is also the Manilkara kauki which is native to Southeast Asia. We call it as ciku merah (red ciku) or ciku sawo (tan ciku)

It's a takeover with the Africans in STEM Chair. Join in the conversation.
Something unusual is happening with our twitter account next week - Sandile Mtetwa will be tweeting on our behalf for #WomenInScience day. Join us on 11th Feb to chat with a Cambridge PhD student.
A very nice work on linking ABA sensitivity to a splicing factor in early seed development. I’ve seen how @RuiMart24312878 worked really hard on this project. Do check it out!
Really proud of @RuiMart24312878. He put a lot of work into this and it's turned a really great paper. Congrats to the rest of the team as well! Great job folks.
It is like dismantling a wall for others to see the science. The wall can be any form of prejudice/ bias/ stereotype. Unfortunately, instead of presenting the science, we first need to break down the wall (extra work) that wasn’t placed by us so that our work can be seen

Aye, Captain. Steady as she goes.

“Destroying rainforest for economic gain is like burning a Renaissance painting to cook a meal.”
“I not only use all the brains that I have, but all I can borrow.”
We will miss E.O. Wilson: huge inspiration for most of us, key advocate for our natural heritage, a true hero.
