But more importantly, I hope everyone stays safe in the storm 🙏🏼

[Alys with a Y @AlysRoberts]

Really hoping storm Ciarán doesn't get in the way of the round table discussion @ColmanIsobel and I are sitting on tomorrow talking all things ‘Inclusion, Vulnerable Participants, and Protecting Mental Health’ at the annual @CamESRC_DTP conference 🤞🏼⛈️

[Alys with a Y @AlysRoberts]

The conference has been held online for the past few years and it will be great to be back in real life, but with that comes the challenges of getting there… The conference theme of ‘Researching in a New Digitised Era’ has never been so apt!  🌧️ 🖥️ 🚆 ⛈️ 🌍

Or if anyone knows where else I can find another #writingretreat in the UK sometime soon? Pretty scenery preferable but accessible within a tight PhD stipend budget essential 🙃@AcademicChatter @PhDVoice

[Alys with a Y @AlysRoberts]

I’ve just got home from a #BERA_Writing weekend at Aston university. It felt like pure luxury to be surrounded by writing peers and supported by wonderful facilitators. How about a @BERA_ECRNetwork writing weekend ? Cause apparently a thesis won’t write itself 📝 🥲 @BERANews

It’s beyond essential that these networks are looked after properly for years to come to ensure a future Wales which is open for debate and critical conversations 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 can’t retweet enough

An open letter, signed by 143 Welsh writers, calling for urgent action to address the financial precarity of news/culture periodicals and websites in Wales. The situation is desperate.
