Just a gentle reminder to be kind & compassionate to yourself for the things that were said & done when you were struggling with your mental health. It’s not your fault. Please don’t punish yourself.
@theBrianaMills Working on a second pub focused on mental health but that data and literature is available through pro quest right now https://t.co/MEMiWDDVd0

The trauma associated with trying to publish parts of my dissertation has been unfathomable. Everytime I look at it, I fall back into one of the worst times of my life. I pray one day I can look back and say “it was worth it” bc rn all I do is cry
@smileitsjoy 275 pages. But mine was purely qualitative so the results made it substantially larger. My advice: keep it simple! A good dissertation is a done dissertation. Quality over quantity
For disabled people, inaccessibility is far worse than an inconvenience.
Inaccessibility is isolation.
Inaccessibility is segregation.
Inaccessibility is discrimination.
Inaccessibility is trauma.
Inaccessibility is exclusion.
Inaccessibility is ableism.
@brycetakenaka@AcademicChatter@OpenAcademics@PhDVoice 1) ImaginePhd is great for exploring non-academic positions/areas & provides TONS of resources to help guide & prepare you
2) Network early & often!
3) Take time for personal & professional development(reflect on values, interests & transferable skills, cover letter writing, etc)
@LauraSockol disability related content needs to be shifted from a medical model perspective to a social, and/or human rights model of disability. This shift can reduce the presence of ableism. Here is a great collection of resources: https://t.co/YmDrE9M4JJ
Being both easily distracted and time blind is really the 1-2 punch of ADHD.
“Ooh, let’s just look at this thing for a minute… aaand it’s been 8 hours.”
Our paper shows STEM professionals with disabilities earn up to $14k less and are less likely to be in leadership roles than colleagues that do not have disabilities. It’s beyond time to prioritize tackling the ableism and inaccessibility embedded across STEM! @JHUDisability
Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Created by the UN in 1992, today is intended to celebrate people with disabilities (PWD) and raise awareness about disability rights worldwide. On this day we recognize, support and celebrate PWD.
An inclusive & equitable world is possible but only if we respect & protect the rights of PWD. We must commit to a rights-based & intersectional approach to inclusive development: PWD are meaningfully engaged at the front & center of change as leaders and partners.
