Incredibly honoured to announce I am one of three ECRs who have made it to the finals of the @FameLab competition
Genuinely the semi finals were full of talented & friendly science communicators
Can't wait to see the rest of the finalists in Perth later this year!
We’ve got our FameLab VIC finalists! Congrats to Matt Shaw (winner), Hannah Morgan and @Woah_Science_ (runners-up) who will all compete in the Perth Final in exactly 3 months’ time. It was tough for our judges to pick three finalists from a great group.

I'm writing a syst. review on Rett Syndrome - an X-linked disorder that the lit describes as mostly (but not exclusively) affecting 'girls'/'females'.
It strikes me that this language could be both more inclusive and precise - i'm currently using phrases such as 'XX-individuals'

,'XX-females', 'XY-males', or 'XXY-males' (individuals with Kleinfelter syndrome).
Would love to invite friendly discussion from #AcademicTwitter, patients and beyond on my approach - suggestions on how to best do this are very welcome!
