One year after getting my PhD, a middle aged white man asked, .“Is it Miss, Ms or Mrs?”. I said “Dr., actually.” . It was as satisfying as I’d expected it to be.

Baking tip.If you need to meas spoonful/multiple spoonfuls of a thick sticky liquid eg honey don’t meas it out using the spoon.Make an indentation w/ the spoon in your dry ingred&then fill that up.That way you don’t have to spend time cleaning the sticky liquid off @bakingmedics

“There’s no racism in the NHS”. Been asked twice this week “Where are you from?…No, where are you really from?” . Then, these messages were sent on the first day that I joined an NHS staff chat group. FYI I was the only Asian person in the group….I’ve left the group now. 🤦🏾♀️😳

The text time a man I’m dating says “I was going to bring/send you flowers but I decided not to.” I’m going to respond with “I was going to make you a luxuriously velvet chocolate tart but I thought I’d give it a miss.” . Men, please don’t do this. Just don’t say anything at all.

I’ve been a pharmacist for over 27 years and a clinical academic for over 7 years. I still often answer queries with. “I’m not sure, but I’ll look into it.”. It’s ok not have all of the answers. No one has all the answers.

The only thing that’s dangerous and unhealthy here is this persons views and apparent hatred of women’s bodies. Stigma and discrimination about body shape and size are deeply pervasive. Weight stigma is not helpful to anyone

This is extremely worrying !!. There are no other licensed parenteral alternatives to Pabrinex IV or IM available in the UK . NONE.
IM Pabrinex being discontinued, and IV Pabrinex out of stock for a year. No alternatives. So…what do we do…!? 🤷🏽♂️.

#TipsForNewDocs . Get to know your pharmacist.We're nice&can be quite helpful. Lots of us are available to speak to .on-call/out of hours. Lots of us are Rxers now, but not all of us so some of us might amend Rx ourselves, others might ask you to review Rx. We've got your back💜.

Academic conferences are wild. £1500 in fees, travel and accommodation. Speak about your work for 15 minutes. Listen to some questions that are more comments. Go to the plenary. Senior academic says something completely out of context. Over priced drinks at the bar.

When the wonderful people who supervised your PhD tell you that they now consider you their academic colleague it’s simultaneously daunting and fulfilling in equal measure.
