I’ve had quite a few people ask why my sexuality is relevant to being a scientist. Having a rainbow flag doesn’t make me better at spectroscopy, but being open about who I am makes me a happier person and I have more energy for my work.

Fundamentally you have to ask yourself this: would you say the same thing to a heterosexual scientist if they mention their husband/wife? Should we all be banned from talking about our lives at work? No, of course not, so stop singling some of us out.

There is a toxic environment in STEM that attacks people for speaking up if they don’t match the look of a stereotypical scientist/engineer. Because I am a cis white male, I am in a position of relative privilege and get less abuse when I talk about these things.

Some of us are lucky enough not to have experienced real discrimination, but we all know someone who has. Quitting is a rational response, but every person driven away from science is the loss of another unique perspective that might have solved the next big problem.

For women and PoC in STEM, being LGBT+ just adds another layer of discrimination on top of what they already get for not fitting the stereotype. Our identities can be used against us, to dismiss our concerns and our successes, because we must be the exception, not the rule.

In 2021 my colleagues removed ~1400 pieces of plastic from the stomachs of 76 fledgling seabirds, and gave them to me to analyse at @NHM_London . It's hard to appreciate the scale of the problem, so I made these spirals to show how the plastics vary in size, shape, and colour.

I hatehatehate talking positively about myself for job applications. Why can’t I just write β€œI’m a garbage person with no idea what I’m doing or where I’m going but so is everyone else so please give me this job”???

We can remotely pilot the Curiosity rover around on Mars from the safety of our homes without the cats accidentally killing it, I’d like to think MPs are capable of voting remotely without incident.

I guess it's time for another tedious round of the "real scientists work themselves to the bone" debate. Pro tip: you can't do world class science if you're physically exhausted or you've quit because of mental health problems.

I just saw a tweet that judgementally asked what your 8 year old self would think of your life now. I’m part of a NASA Mars mission and I walk past the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum to get to my office. I reckon 8 year old Joby would be very pleased with that.

I’m still traumatised by when I accidentally flooded the nitrogen glovebox with air. I once knocked over an open vial containing my entire stock of a very expensive polymer. I have dropped more fragile samples than I can count. Some days I just know I can’t do labwork.

Being bi is feeling super awkward about your gay friends making hetero/straight/breeder jokes because you're currently in a relationship with someone of a different gender

I maintain that Grindelwald should have been exactly as Colin Farrell portrayed Graves, a dangerously appealing authoritarian rather than Depp's evil clown. We need a reminder what happens when society starts cooing over smartly-dressed bigots.
