Skip your sleep, it is 23:59 – an ALT 2022 presentation follow up
"Skip your sleep, it is 23:59", this is the presentation my collaborator, Dr Jim Turner, and I presented at the recent #altc22. This is a rather big and uncomfortable topic, as we are so used to following the status quo set eons ago, mostly by staff who are long retired and/or who do not understand… Continue reading Skip your sleep, it is 23:59 – an ALT 2022 presentation follow up

Working around diversity and inclusion is usually a considerable hustle, however, navigating around pseudo-antiracists is perhaps the most difficult. Yet it is very common and least easily identifiable. In the British culture, with the never-ending "thank you", "please" and "sorry", identifying and calling out pseudo-antiracists is taxing. In this blog, I provide key information on:… Continue reading Navigating racism with pseudo-antiracists
