“Our entire research process is informed by lived experience & by involving those who have been labelled as having reduced cognitive ability” – Here’s @dorotachapko's @wellcometrust article about our project & how the research world could be more inclusive https://t.co/q9QNAZ6fLp

Quote of the day:

"It is increasingly difficult to find an aspect of lived experience that is not datafied, measured, quantified and analysed."

- Abeba Birhane (a PhD student a University College Dublin) at Black in AI

[Dr Aida Suarez-Gonzalez @Aida_Suarez_]

I'm in a tiny rural fishing Chinese village. I look around and think that none of the neuropsych tests I use in Europe would work here. But I'm still a clinician. I have knowledge. I have skills. I should be able to assess anyone anywhere but, am I?
