Here’s my research tip: If you’re in a senior role, support PhD students and early career academics as much as possible. Include them on publications. Invite them to be part of grants. Pay them to deliver guest lectures. We can all take steps to make academia more supportive and kind. #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

Got a special guest coming on for a Brew Rating today. I met Ollie 6 years ago and we have kept in touch since. He is all grown up now and is killing it in his sporting career. Looking forward to sharing what he is doing today. Cheers
