@AnEmergentI and I have been digging at how good UK research really is. And have come up with some worrying findings....

There is a lot of guff about how world leading UK science is, and James and I have worked in US, Switzerland, Korea, Denmark etc.... and shared a little scepticism.
So we asked "Is it *really* though?"
So we asked "Is it *really* though?"
Some of the "evidence" can be dealt with quickly.
1. Commercial university rankings.... ha ha ha!
2. REF results. At least this is based on some evidence. We quote the Russell group on how it allegedly shows 94% of their research is world leading etc... Total guff.

Interested in 𝘩𝘰𝘸 & 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 science advisers learn? A thread on my #PhD findings - looking at the learning journeys of UK science advisers 🧵👇🏻. /1

Science advisers learn on the job. Nothing has quite prepared them for the delicate balancing act that is being a science adviser⚖️(whether formal or informal roles). They have to simultaneously meet the expectations and standards of both academic and policy colleagues. /2
Advisers are regularly taken aback by how different the policy world🌍turns out to be, compared to the academic world🪐they are used to. This includes their respective professional values, norms, practices and so on. /3 
1/ For the no Italian speaking community: this week at the @EU_Commission had the pleasure to talk to Commissioner @GabrielMariya about education, research, innovation and much more. In this #Thread I want to report my experience and the nice exchange of ideas I had with her.
2/ What did I say?
That we need European guidelines to monitor and define PhD programmes and the figure of PhDs in the academic system. To date there is no definition of a PhD student at European level. #SciencePolicy #PhD #AcademicTwitter

3/ This implies that in some states PhDs are full-fledged workers, have maternity leave, sick leave, pay contributions... while in others they are equivalent to students on a scholarship. But the discrepancies do not stop there. #PhD #AcademicChatter
1/ Come sapete questa settimana sono stata alla @EU_Commission per parlare con la Commissaria @GabrielMariya di educazione, ricerca, innovazione e molto altro. In questo #Thread voglio riportarvi la mia esperienza e il bello scambio di parole che ho avuto con lei. #SciencePolicy
2/ Ammetto che ero emozionata come mai. D’altronde mica capita tutti i giorni di parlare ad una commissaria. Nonostante i giorni di preparazione, l’ansia ha giocato un piccolo scherzo. Mi sono inceppata! Ma è giusto così. La scienza mi ha insegnato ad imparare dai propri errori.
3/ L’inglese non è la mia lingua madre, ero davanti ad una donna con una carica politica altissima e volevo dire qualcosa che tengo a cuore. Era il mio primo evento politico e ho ancora molto da imparare. Questa volta ho imparato che la preparazione non è mai abbastanza.
Starting the conversation on #SciencePolicy and #Advocacy this morning!
How do we translate science at the bench to our policymakers?
How do we translate science at the bench to our policymakers?
There are two different types of Science Policy:
1. Science for policy: leveraging the scientific process in decision-making
2. Policy for Science: the rules and policies by which science can be done
Include science in the conversation!

How do figure out if you're interested in the integration of science & policy?
Start with informational interviews with people involved in science policy!

I was involved in getting the #oxfordvaccine @JennerInstitute manufacturing process and consortium up and running. Here is a thread of why there is an issue with doses, with some science and #sciencepolicy. The EU looks in the wrong to me.
To make the vaccine, you need to grow up a huge volume of cells, they make the vaccine, then the vaccine is purified. The manufacturing process is new. It relies on elements used before, but each new process has its own parameters.
That means each manufacturing site has to on board the exact process and get it running. Usually this takes many months, but is being done urgently for COVID.
Hello, #SciComm friends! Today I'm tweeting on how to talk to lawmakers about science! This info mostly comes from working in Congress and being a @sfntweets Early Career Policy Fellow. - @fancycomma

The good news about science advocacy is that it's pretty easy to engage your local Members of Congress on the important issues -- it's their job to listen! Science funding, especially biomedical science, enjoys bipartisan support in Congress.
The difficult part is knowing how to do #SciencePolicy or #SciPol effectively. That's what I'm here to help with today!
