Great to see my colleague Dr James Richards @leaveism sharing his ground breaking work on the role of trade unions in creating neurodiversity friendly workplaces. You can see some of that work here https://t.co/IMp0EIMBDw

Our #InclusionMatters project funded by @EPSRC has come to the end of its funded period. Here we share our thoughts on DISC and our thanks to all who supported us https://t.co/LIb4zragL7 @nadsn_uk @UCUScotland @HeriotWattUni @EdinburghUni

[DisabilityInclusiveScienceCareers @DisabilityIncl1]

This is a wonderful piece of writing from @SelmaBlair
on her experiences of accessing a diagnosis and the challenges of 'it's all in your head'
Many of our research participants have been told the same. https://t.co/Cth1aQEP1t

Please share far and wide! We want to hear from anyone who identifies as neurodivergent, neurodiverse (UK). Our work is funded by @nercscience and the findings will be used to create recommendations for funders, employers, trade unions #LoveHE #AcademicTwitter #phdlife #phdchat

We are running focus groups next week for #neurodivergent #neurodiversesquad early career researchers who work on environmental issues #geography #anthropology #humanities #publichealth #Sociology (or interview/email exchange) - please sign up here https://t.co/yAkoZzyfmm

Very early stages of data analysis led by @felisferalis but shocking finding that 37% of neurodivergent ECRs in our study are thinking of leaving academia. Such a loss of talent due to ableist and neurotypical working environments

[DisabilityInclusiveScienceCareers @DisabilityIncl1]

Are you a neurodivergent ECR based in the natural or environmental sciences? Come attend one of our focus groups (this Thurs and coming Mon) to discuss your ideas for making universities an accessible and inclusive workspace! Info and register here: https://t.co/lpaMf1hn1T

Are you a natural or environmental researcher identifying as neurodivergent? Do you experience autism, including Asperger’s, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and/or Tourette’s syndrome? We’d like to hear from you via this survey: https://t.co/bV9tMw1Ruk.
