Excellent points made by Nazia Nasir in @rcslt_bulletin this month - clearly outlines how recruiters can support neurodiverse SLTs through the interview process, both insightful and practical #speechandlanguagetherapy

[Mehreen Masoud @MehreenMasoud]

While assessing a student who uses an eye-gaze:

Me: "What are some of your good qualities"?

Student: "I get the opportunity to use this (wheel)chair and some kids dont".

I sure learnt a thing or two about positivity & gratitude today 👏

We had such fun filming the role of a #speechtherapist for #AHP careers. Great to showcase the #talent of SLTs @ZahraSaLT @MehreenMasoud @JaniceKHT Thomas, Sarita & Molly. @RCSLT @AHPleadership #SLTday

Last night we recorded our episode on racial biases with the amazing @imanvirjislt and @ULspeechtherapy - we can’t wait for you all to listen! 🤩🤩

Enjoyed listening to @SLTeaTime first episode and hearing other ethnic minority #speechandlanguagetherapists discuss their experiences with race and diversity in our profession. Looking forward to more!

Excellent question and answer. “We do not sell data” but we place the ads to the right audience. Important difference #Zuckerberg

[Mehreen Masoud @MehreenMasoud]

@Zahra_Hasan He smiled so awkwardly afterwards 😂

[ACLU @ACLU]

This is important: Zuckerberg doesn't talk about how poorly positioned users are to understand which ads they DON'T receive, given Facebook's facilitation of exclusion in targeting. #AskFacebook

[Jim Geraghty @jimgeraghty]

“If I understand you correctly, Mr. Zuckerberg, what you’re telling this committee is that this so-called ‘Facebook' is not actually a printed book of faces.”

I love my job - teaching super bright students and doing research with talented scientists. But I am taking industrial action to try and protect academic pensions. I am sorry for the impacts this will have - in this thread I will explain why I'm doing it. #USSstrike #UCUstrike

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

I've had this threat - allegedly sent by @CityUniLondon to staff - emailed over to me. This is surely illegal, and City University need to urgently clarify that their staff will be freely able to exercise their basic democratic right to strike.
