Not everyone has the opportunity as an undergrad to do the kind of research that results in published papers. Because of e.g. the university they attend, they don't know they can (e.g. first-gen), or there aren't paid RA opportunities and they can't afford to work for free. So if "already published" is a hard-stop admissions criteria I'd be curious about the diversity of the PhD student population.

When Churchill was asked to cut funding to the arts in order to support the war effort in World War II, he responded “Then what would we be fighting for?” an apocryphal quote but when Ukrainian forces retook Kherson the people and the soldiers gathered together to sing and dance in celebration.
These images of Banksy's work also reflect how important culture is not just to Ukraine but to the civilised world. It's our turn to protect it from the marauders at the gate.

”Global Witness found more than 600 people at the talks in Egypt are linked to fossil fuels.
That's more than the combined delegations from the 10 most climate-impacted countries.”

Hi #ScienceMastadon !!! #Introduction
I’m a mucosal immunologist at the University of Oxford especially interested in studying antigen-specific T cells.

I also enjoy nerdy baking! Highlights below 🤓👩🏻‍🔬👩🏻‍💻👩🏻‍🍳

The cat sat on the grass
The grass sat on the worm
The worm fed the bird
The soil was Earth
That is my spin, now spun.
What fun.
