People died alone and Tories are just shrugging and telling people to move on

A recent insightful comment by @MerlinCrossley@twitter.com highlights the magic of in-person #conferences, making many valid points about the value of in-person interaction (https://campusmorningmail.com.au/news/the-magic-of-the-in-person-conference) --> Based on @futuremeetings@twitter.com work, here is a (not super) brief Twitter thread response 🧵

How many of these layered protections have we abandoned? Is it any wonder the economy its suffering because workers are chronically sick?

If anyone presented the mass infection of kids with Covid in schools as an experimental design to a University research ethics committee it would be knocked back with horror.
Yet we’re happily conducting this experiment in the real world on a generation of kids. It’s just wild.

Hey, who is noticing that “post-pandemic normal” is a lot of “I’ve been knocked out by this cold for weeks” and “Sorry, we’ve had to cancel this event!” and “My kids are sick for the second time in two months!” and “Due to staffing shortages…” and “The ER wait was 10 hours!”

Inequitable access to freedom of travel frequently affects the ability to hold an inclusive meeting. We're looking forward to collaborating with @astronomy2024@twitter.com to try and design better #hybrid approaches!

"England" is also difficult, since I don't only identify with that geography, but perhaps it helps that it's named after a Germanic tribe? 'Earth' is the simplest term - except that means 'Ground' and is the least imaginative term we could have used to name our planet? (2/2)
I'm struggling to describe where I'm from. I can't say "United Kingdom" any more since it's not a Kingdom (Queendom?) and it definitely doesn't feel United (thanks Brexit). "Great Britain" is also difficult, is it really great nowadays? But perhaps Britain would work. (1/2)
Ah, @ColourfulCosmos@twitter.com, you seem to be there too? Any idea what's happening? :)
I'm virtually at a @RoyalAstroSoc@twitter.com specialist discussion meeting today. At least, some bits of it. Due to no schedule being circulated, I've managed to catch 2.5 talks, had to drop off for a telecon, and now seem to be connected back to the lunch break?

@i_jayas@twitter.com @royalsociety@twitter.com i just can’t even comprehend who thought this was ok. 17.6% of FRS from one university, 100% of them men. what is going on?

“…and reflects the Royal Society’s exceptional commitments to gender equality.” 🤦🏻♀️ https://twitter.com/cambridge_uni/status/1524022446780784642
The view the other way, normally you’d see Gran Canaria, but the edge of the storm is there. Tenerife is inside the windy bit!

"Under these circumstances we simply cannot agree to force participants to be present in Valencia to discuss a sustainable future for astronomy."
Preach it!
I'm on Youtube! I, erm, seem to say erm a lot while talking, will have to do better at that. Also, GroundBIRD! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgf0sSz1XC0&list=PL0b6j-KLIuQPi9YpWHaIYONNDRwVCaLzo&index=9
