‘ #Trust always plays a role, including in #science.’
Professor by special appointment in Societal Trust and @facultyofphilosophygroningen researcher Leah Henderson argues for the importance of evidence-based science.
According to Henderson, ‘trust is the cement that holds society together.’
As head of the Societal Trust research group at the Rudolf Agricola School for Sustainable Development UG, Henderson will study trust in the coming years.

Sorry, I don't normally post memes, but I just came across this one I had saved to my computer and wanted to share it. I think it is so funny! (Ya, I know, I'm weird.)
Hey just a friendly reminder since folk are doing flu and covid vax rn to not forget about TDaP! Many places recommend a fresh boost if you have a tetanus exposure and its been at least five years since your last one, and it should be boosted every 10 years regardless. While people associate tetanus with rusty nails and barb wire fencing, it lives in the soil. So if you play in the dirt (looking at cavers, gardeners, outdoorsy folk in general) you may be due sooner than you think. Folk like us often have abrasions or cuts on our hands from doing things, and then shove our hands into dirt and mud. Keep that in mind! Plus it seems like every other winter there is a new whooping cough outbreak and thats the P part of TDaP so its an easy one to forget about but a good one to stay up on.
Now that you are protected, go flip some rocks! (And make sure you gently put them back!)

Protect science! What nonprofit are you lifting up today for Giving Tuesday? I’m choosing @aaasorg, but let me know yours in the comments.
Wow, big move by the CNRS

TLDR; Anyone looking for affordable #science #tutoring let me know.
👩🔬 <- My aunt is a wonderful human being. She is qualified as a #science teacher and over the last year has undergone quite an upheaval in life, relocating to a totally new area in the process. She’s now looking to get back to work via personal tutoring from the new year onwards.
She’s not in it for the money, preferring to help those less advantaged. If you know anyone in secondary education in the UK who wants/needs extra tuition let me know and I’ll put you in touch.
Ideally she’ll get some work local to her in the #Malvern area ( #Worcestershire) that she can do in person, but she can also do a few slots per week remote tutoring via Jitsi or similar.
Here's a superb seasonal science Storyboard from our friends at @KnowableMag, with stories on everything from how snowflakes grow to why being a Grinch is bad for your health.
