(1/2)🧵RT, lets have this conversation! Many #PhD students suffer (workload, bad supervision etc.) I want your ideas to build a toolkit for new starters, so they know how to prepare if things do go wrong. #AcademicTwitter what do you wish you’d known before you started?

Make time to decompress. When things get stressful, it's important to take deliberate breaks. When you're finding it difficult to focus, having a defined end to distraction time is just as important. I'd suggest organising 'walk and talks' with a lab buddy or two! #phdlife

You may know I had a terrible time with my PhD. Recently I asked #AcademicTwitter and friends what they'd tell their pre-PhD selves. So here's a toolkit for anyone looking to find a PhD, have just started, or are stuck in! PhD Voice - Independently Run #PhDLife #phdchat linzyelton628749128.wordpress.com/2022/01/08/how…

Nice to do the morning walk actually in the morning again! #babytimezone #park #fetch #dogsofinstagram @ Beeston, Nottinghamshire instagram.com/p/Ca1kQTHNDR7/…

We know that there are likely to be future #epidemics but do we have the tools and networks to combat them? Scientists from across our research centres including Centre for Clinical Microbiology UCL @HerpeZ and Royal Veterinary College (RVC) discuss what's currently available and what more needs to be done

Thanks to Darren Henry for raising this question for me. A small but significant change would support employees and employers alike. Nobody else should face the same worry at an already difficult time.

Have a think about signing up to this study: ourfuturehealth.org.uk/get-involved/t…

Great to have had the first Citizens Panel meeting for the TheResponseStudy. Looking forward to getting stuck in over the coming months.

An ideal combination!

On #WorldPatientSafetyDay2023, I'm pleased to think of all the potential improvements being made and hope that I'm playing my little part working with TheResponseStudy and more to come. #WorldPatientSafetyDay

Great to meet with Sarah Dyke MP 🔶 today, talking about #parentalleave in bereavement and improving #maternitysafety investigations. Hopeful that Department for Business and Trade and @dhscgovuk are able to keep things moving.

Great to see the updated shared parental leave bill published today. Thank you to Darren Henry for all the work getting it this far. Here's to getting the support from your colleagues and UK Prime Minister in getting it into action! publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill…

However, the Bill will still need as much support as possible to be made law. Find more information in the video below. The Bill can be found here: bills.parliament.uk/bills/3395/pub… #broxtowe #sharedparentalleave 2/2

Good morning Birmingham! A grey day but plenty to look forward to in meeting for the TheResponseStudy today. #patientsafety

Thanks to the team at Nottingham Trent University for helping Bernadette continue to make a difference, particularly to those aiming high in #biomedicalscience #careers

It was great to hear the progress on this campaign to protect people who find themselves in this situation. So much thanks for the continuing hard work of Darren Henry , Kevin Hollinrake MP and now Chris Elmore MP in taking this through parliament. #parentalleave #maternitysafety

In 2024, we're sharing 25 key achievements from the 25 years since the Unit formed🎉 First up: the multi-arm multi-stage (MAMS) design, which speeds up the evaluation of new treatments by addressing multiple research questions in one trial. Read more👉bit.ly/3RDILEA

Today the second reading of the Shared Parental Leave and Pay (Bereavement) Bill was debated in Parliament. This is an issue I have campaigned on since I first met my constituent, Aaron, at a constituency surgery in Broxtowe. 1/4

It was great to attend parliament today to listen in on and meet with everyone driving this Bill forwards. Thank you!
