#Dyslexia always affects my organisation. Colour coding, night before packing, & mind mapping are some of the techniques I've used over the years! Always handy to know where supportive people and resources are! Like the @BDAdyslexia #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek

During #DAW22 we wanted to share our Helpline service. We offer free information & signposting to anybody who may need it.

We’ve put together some examples of what you may call Helpline for. All helpline information can be found here https://t.co/ghkt1h7qGG

@Richard36825827 Hi Richard, thanks for the interest in this! This is my ongoing PhD research which is entering its 2nd year. So a completed thesis is a couple of years away

Coal Tips have (re)emerged as a worry in Wales after the Tylorstown landslide 2020. Yet, the risk perceptions of the tips are not well known. My research explores the social understanding of the tips & the role of Aberfan Disaster in the conversation

When on a long train journey, why not spend the time condensing my research into a single tweet. Maybe I should try emojis next? 🤔⛏️⛰️⚠️

This is fascinating, the way evidence and folklore have combined to 'rediscover' Cantre' Gwaelod. Wonder what other truths are found in folk stories or what will become the next ones?
