Hi tweeps! Remember back in March, I made a mega-thread of amazing #WomenInSTEM that you should follow, especially for #IWD2018? If not, here's the 'moment' I made from it twitter.com/i/moments/9718…
Well, today (19 Nov) is #InternationalMensDay #IMD2018, and I wanted to mark the occasion. So here are SIXTY men working in STEM who also happen to be some of my favourite tweeps. This is by no means an exhaustive list - please don't be offended if you're not on it!
PS: I have some actual (paid) work to do today, so I'll update the list when I can, in between all my other commitments. Please be patient 😊

Not all the correct answers have been given yet, but some of you are on the right lines...
One person has 4...
This paper from ‘96 is doing the rounds. It’s interesting but entirely unconvincing. 1/n
Any suggestion of the creators is speculation, as are motives. They are often called fertility amulets, due to exaggerated sexual traits. 2/n
They may be that, or dolls, or porn by some horny teenager. Sometimes they have small heads, and it has been suggested that that’s because we don’t see our own heads. 3/n
Final corrections of the #bookofhumans sent, including new refs from last week, and it's off to the printers.

Go on, have a break, you've earned it. THANKS.
