About Me

Dr Alice Howarth

I am a science loving PhD cancer researcher with a passion for science accessibility. I like cell biology, scientific skepticism and equality. For almost 5 years I have been an integral part of The Merseyside Skeptics society - a non-profit organisation which aims to promote scientific reasoning, nationally and internationally. I am co-host of the successful podcast, Skeptics with a K where I discuss topical science stories on a fortnightly basis. I am a science communicator to a wide variety of audiences from school age children to interested members of the public and academic researchers.

Feeling a little grey and snoozy today. Wearing my favourite little nubbin of a lipstick to cheer me up. This was from a Christmas gift set from Ted Baker and doesn't have a shade name on it. I look out for it in gift sets every year but can't find another to replace it. Eeking out the last few wears... #liptober

It might be colder here than Sydney but its bloody sunnier! #liptober - baby lips balm in Chai tea latte, it smells like cinnamon and I love it.

I'm regram-ing this amazing artwork from @drawingsofdogs because the world is shit and I want to be perfectly clear that I support the human right to self-identify. I will always do my best to use inclusive language, to consider the perspectives of people from all genders and to avoid misgendering people. I will make mistakes because I am cis and my experiences have been filled with privilege but this is important and those of us with privilege have a responsibility to be vocal in support and put conscious effort into understanding the experiences of others. Can I do more than be visible and vocal in my support and speaking up to encourage others to do the same? Let me know. Check out @drawingsofdogs insta page for the work of a wonderful human being who is vocal on important issues. And makes cool art. @Regran_ed from @drawingsofdogs - UK fans, you only have until Friday to fill out the government's consultation on reforming the Gender Recognition Act. This is basically the UK government asking, "Do you think that we should recognise trans people's right to self-identity?" And I hope the many cis allies among you will answer with a resounding, "Yes!" (I also hope that you find other ways to be an ally in this atrocious time in the British media's attitude to trans identities). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Head on over to @stonewalluk and click on the link in their bio. That will take you to a simple guide to help you fill out the consultation. Stonewall are also rightly pushing for the GRA to recognise non-binary humans. The butterfly one might be my favourite drawing I've done. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Image description of the first image: a beautiful, hand-drawn butterfly with purple wings is in flight against a pink background. The butterfly is talking to a snail. The butterfly says, "Hello, I am a butterfly." And the snail replies, "Hello caterpillar. You are a caterpillar." Underneath, the caption reads: transphobia.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #transisbeautiful #transrights #transrightsarehumanrights #nonbinary #enby #gender #lgbtq #lgbtqia #queer #lovetrumpshate #bemorekind #bekind #exerciseempathy - #regrann

Yesterday I got home for Australia. Then in the evening went out to celebrate the lovely @stitchemm's upcoming birthday. I wore two new lip colours - Natio lip colour in Graceful and their smoothie lip colour crayon in tea rose over the top. Cos I couldn't come back from Australia without new lipsticks... #liptober

At night, the supertrees are the location of an incredible light and music show. The trees themselves are weird and modern and brash, but the show was memorising. I may have done a little cry. In addition to all of those modern touches, Singapore is covered with beautiful trees. And even one or two old buildings. #singaporeatnight

I mean seriously, Singapore. You look incredible by night. These photos are entirely unedited and with no filter cos why would I tamper with those beautiful colours? #nofilter #singaporeatnight
