The daily struggle as everything transitions back to in-person *only* events, competitions…
Do I attend and risk potential long term detriment to my (already shaky) health, or
Do I not attend and risk undermining my career development, prospects etc?

Does anyone have any references for creative methodologies that are inclusive of one's disability/chronic illness (i.e as a disabled researcher with little spoons)? Big bonus if it's in anthropology or at least qualitative research. #disabledresearcher

[Prof. Bethan Evans @DrBEvans]

Can any @DisabledAcadem @chron_ac recommend a text to speech programme that works on windows that can cope with academic pdfs without reading all the headers/footers/web address along the side of the page etc in amongst the text

@jeffrey_gorman Hi Jeffrey, apologies. You should be able to DM now.

[Chronically Academic @chron_ac]

[Admin]: Hi all, we are looking for volunteers to help us with running our Twitter account. We feel that the team works best when we can share the workload, and so we would like to grow our team. 1/3

[Chronically Academic @chron_ac]

We understand that you are studying and/or working, have other commitments, and disability/health conditions. The volunteering would be quite flexible. Please comment below or DM if you are interested in becoming a volunteer or would like to know more. Thanks! 3/3

[Chronically Academic @chron_ac]

Tasks include monitoring the Twitter account, scheduling Twitter takeovers, and social media planning and strategising. We communicate with each other quite regularly so you would have support if you have any questions. 2/3

Advice I wish I was given during my PhD. Especially that if academia doesn't fit for me (being a #DisabledInSTEM #postdoc is *hard*) that's not my failure

The UK Parliamentary academic fellowships are now open! We need greater #representation amongst #policy makers, this would be a great opportunity for a #DisabledAcademic or researcher. #DisabilityInclusion #RepresentationMatters #Ableism #Diversity #DisabledInSTEM .@chron_ac

Ich bin auch Mitglied und Vorsitzende bei @chron_ac - wir haben eine Facebook und Slack Gruppe und versuchen so langsam den Blog und unseren Twitter Account wiederzubekommen

Forced medical leave also violates the Americans w/ Disabilities Act b/c it deprives disabled students of equal access to education & essential disability accommodations: https://t.co/c70G6l7VzT

[Adelaide @ADHDelaide]

Neurodivergent people, what did you learn about yourself this year that has helped you in any way?

[Doctor Disabled ♿️ @MrJasonOlsen]

Information people from marginalised groups should understand about Allies in #Academia &/or #Employment

A short thread.
