Research by @ErikaEHowe & Dr. Leah Bent from @UofG_HHNS found that heating the foot can enhance skin sensitivity & improve motor reflexes in the lower leg.

Most students don't need another thing on the CV. They need more money, more autonomy, and better working environments so that they can do what they're already doing with less stress.
I had to firstly;
- tell everyone how I was ‘really’ doing
Then;
- step away fully
Before I could;
- rebalance
- refocus and ultimately
- take time for myself and my family again.
I had this privilege and many don’t. Academia needs change 2/2
I nearly left my phd after 4 years part time work on it and here’s why;
- fed up of feeling static
- moving goal posts
- intentions to make a change became feelings of inadequacy,
- feelings of doing a bad job in all aspects, day job and home 🏡
Here’s what I changed 1/2
