Our feasibility RCT of prism adaptation for inattention/spatial neglect after stroke SPATIAL has just been published! Hooray! 🎉 Audrey Bowen Dr Matthew Checketts journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…

CAN ALL UCU MEMBERS PLEASE RT THIS THREAD. As members and branches discuss potential action in the #ucuRISING dispute, I wanted to let you know we have been working on phase 2 of the campaign.

DW. Prisms have been suggested for people with left visuospatial inattention for over 40 years. A good feasibility trial well written up found the trial feasible but insufficient evidence of potential benefit to warrant a big trial. A valuable study. ow.ly/fInw50Lnan4

I should be teaching students about the gender pay gap today but instead I’m on strike with UCU because the gender pay gap in universities is 18.9%, the race pay gap is 17% and the disability pay gap is 9%. We deserve better than that! #ucuRISING

We will not settle this dispute until concrete steps are taken to remove the 100,000 insecure contracts in universities across the UK. RT if you back that position. #ucuRISING

Solidarity with everyone out on strike today! Great atmosphere at the Manchester rally with @manmetucu!
