So pleased to finally share this!
I’ve been part of an amazing project – and the result is this gorgeous book about a seminal era of #DoctorWho.
It was a great pleasure to participate and even more so to explore the #science (real and… not so real) of #ScienceFiction in a new way. Take a look – and, if you like what you see, grab a copy or tell a friend!

Maybe you all know this already but twitter allowed academics who are otherwise marginalised by white, male hieracrchies to enjoy reach and visibility. (Yes, I count myself as a beneficiary here).
For many who have 'odd' names that don't get cited as much, or people who cannot travel to present talks easily, or are not invited as often or speak in unfamiliar accents, it was a chance to let their work and message speak for itself.
We'll need to reclaim that possibility for everyone. #Academic
By popular demand elseweb I have created the group @sffbipoc -- for the #BIPOC #writingcommunity in #SFF to post items of mutual interest & to find and boost each others' work!
Self-promotion by #BIPOC members encouraged!
(Follow to get all the posts; tag the group for your posts to reach everyone following. I do not control it I only made it exist!)

#Introduction! I'm a recovering #scientist, now #science and #medicine communicator. I'm a #writer of things – facts, fiction, scripts, and more. Into #SFF/speculative fiction.
I like #music and tea and plants and adaptive #hiking and small-scale positivity and people who believe in #community. #Wheelchair user. #Immunocompromised. Slightly confused by Mastodon.
I will probably post a lot of science facts, writing snippets, and pictures of my #dog.
