I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
At the time, I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 55 now.
HIV treatment works and it means I can’t pass it on - we call this #UequalsU.
HIV changed. Tell everyone.

I’ve joined the Guardian World Cup Team. Sort of. One new World Cup related composition released every Friday (for duration of tournament). Think it will also be in actual paper on Saturday. Here’s the first!

On strike, again. Continued cuts to pension and year-on-year cuts to real terms pay are just not fair, particularly for my junior colleagues. The workload has become unsustainable. Something needs to change.

Beautiful vista of a butte and the Gediz Vallis Ridge beyond on Mars. This is the beginning portion of a wide panorama taken by the Mars Curiosity Rover on Sol 3658 a few sols ago.

I made a thing! It blinks. It tells time. It syncs up with thousands of #cheercolor devices around the world. It has @pimoroni and @Raspberry_Pi bits in it. Source code and laser cut files are available here: tnkr.in/5n5

Dealing with gender issues in STEM can be a real challenge when everybody who's in charge of fixing them is male.

@ElisabethBik these people took my rotation advice. I must be very innocent because I can't believe that anyone would do this. Is it common?

@ElisabethBik that's blatant. They haven't even tried to hide it. They could have shifted them or rotated at least...
