Have a look at the thread below for some thoughts on how loss of parents can impact people in their early career 👇

[Dr Sam Strong ⚡ @samanthastrong]

My parents passed away when I was a teenager which obviously had a huge impact on my life, but losing them so young also led to a lot of unexpected challenges for the start of my academic career

Here I've highlighted a few of those challenges to help us best support our ECRs 🧵

Huge thanks to @The_AOP and @OptometryToday for supporting our #ECR showcase at @100Optical this weekend 🤩

We were lucky to have 3 incredibly talented speakers showcase their work - definitely ones to watch: @RCheloni @MEW_Neuro @megan_hv 👏🌟

[Dr. Sònia Travé Huarte, PhD @Sth_sonia]

@samanthastrong from @AstonOptometry introducing the ECRs and @VECCTR in @100Optical!

[Dr Sam Strong ⚡ @samanthastrong]

Just putting the finishing touches on my introduction to the ECR Showcase (for @VECCTR) at @100Optical and starting to get pretty excited..🤩

[Academic Chatter™ @AcademicChatter]

Never assume you're the only one that feels like they have no clue what's going on. It can look like everyone else is cruising and you're the one struggling, but that is DEFINITELY not the case. Things are rarely as they appear. This is why sharing experiences is powerful.

[Dr Sam Strong ⚡ @samanthastrong]

I'm chairing a session at @100Optical where @VECCTR have been able to provide a platform for ECRs to give an invited talk - so I was already pretty excited but the arrival of the merch has pushed me over the edge 😂🤩🌟

Featuring top advice from @megan_hv 😘

[VECCTR @VECCTR]

Starting to get excited about our first #ECR event at @100Optical in April!

Our slot is at 5pm on Saturday in the Optical Academy area - registration is free and it's worth 1 #CPD point for #optometrists and #dispensing optometrists 🤩
