Couldn’t have got through the pandemic without watching Nicola Sturgeon explain things. And remember when she sent a video explaining the #covid rules to an #autistic child? Absolute legend. Completely #gutted about her resignation. And I’m not even Scottish.

The #Tories are in power, and a party that generally represents #privilege . To say that #NicolaSturgeon ’s assertion that she ‘detests’ them is akin to “hate crime” is an insult to people who have been murdered for being gay, being disabled etc. Some perspective needed here.

Why has #Mendeley stopped working? Please tell me this is temporary. Despite all warnings, I did not effectively back up my collections (I can’t be trusted with anything). This is a terrible situation. #phdchat

Please retweet this, I don't ask favors much but this one needs to make it to the ends of the earth and back.

I am looking for UK Autistic parents to take part in an interview study on autistic play who have a diagnosed autistic child aged 4yrs to 10yrs without a learning disability.
Interviews to take place after school holidays in August.

Asking #ActuallyAutistic parents - have you ever had a health or education professional accuse you of FII (fabricated induced illness)? I am working with a group of professionals to challenge policy. Your responses are anonymous. Please share!

Happy #WorldSocialWorkDay to all my colleagues working hard for social justice - including those in research, policy, practice, and the non-registered people who share personal experience to improve services for others (we see you too).

A Mother pleas for her child...🙏🏾
Can you hear her?

🚨Today we are releasing our comprehensive report on pandemic support for PGRs🚨

Falling Short is an authoritative account of the precarious position of PGRs within the HE sector and the failings of UK Research and Innovation and HEIs’ COVID-19 support policies.

Should UKRI be providing blanket funded extensions to all PhD students it funds, as called for by PandemicPGRs?

This will disproportionately affect disabled workers (and who spends £7 a day on lunch?!) theguardian.com/business/2020/…

A bunch of academic staff have written an open letter to UKRI about their latest abdication of responsibility for PhD researchers.

We need your solidarity - please please sign and tell UKRI their response is not good enough.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but your choice to give up your normal life for the last 7 months may have saved someone's life and I don't want you to think - for one second - that it wasn't worth it.
