We wrote about what it's like to be disabled researchers with lived experience of what we research in a blog for The McPin Foundation! TLDR: lived experience is invaluable and should be respected in academia + good mentors are vital (1/2) #MentalHealthResearchMatters ♿🇨🇳🇨🇦🦇Disabled Pracademic 🦇🇨🇦🇨🇳♿
Thankful for the exceptional mentors who have helped + are helping me with this balance through my time in academia Catherine Preston Lynne Gabriel, OBE Lorna Hamilton Dr Brett Heasman (2/2)

This afternoon Dr Brett Heasman and I had a body doubling writing + thinking session to try to process and parse out some of the ideas we've had over #ISTP2024. I read this (super cool) paper and put together a plan for a reaction on how we might apply the thoughts to ED research.
Travelling to get to the conference itself is a whole other story - watch out for a video from Dr Brett Heasman and I on that soon. Interested to hear tips and experiences from other ND folks too! (10/10)
