    NEWS FLASH! It’s not a dislike of “hard maths” that puts girls off studying or pursuing careers in maths + physics. It’s outdated and damaging stereotypes that close doors on many talented girls and women. Ready to hear about some of our most inspiring women physicists? 🧵

    The Telegraph has corrected and apologised for another untrue claim about Imperial #COVID19 epidemiology. It's the 16th time they have had to correct or clarify false or misleading reporting on Imperial coronavirus research.
    Telegraph 'Corrections and clarifications' column, reading: An article "Looking back at lockdown: how we got it wrong" (Jan 15) reported that, following a ‘brief spike in cases during summer 2021’ Prof Neil Ferguson predicted that ‘Britain would soon hit one million infections a day'. The figure of one million arose from a potential ‘pessimistic’ hypothetical scenario among many that the Imperial group analysed, and they did not predict that this ‘would’ happen rather that it could. We apologise for the inaccuracy and are happy to correct the record.

    When Neil Ferguson’s Imperial model pointed to 85,000 Covid deaths for Sweden, the Swedish authorities has enough in-house expertise to identify why his model was wrong. Anders Tegnell, its state epidemiologist, explains how... spectator.co.uk/article/why-bo…

    Our @seis_matters has experienced abuse following the announcement of his selection as a lecturer of the @Ri_Science #XmasLectures. The abuse is vile and unacceptable. We're supporting Chris, and can't wait to see him take the stage this December and make history 💪🏾
