@ValeMolecola @Peacock_Group Thank you @ValeMolecola!! It was great chatting to you!

[Kate Hadley @ka_hadley]

thank you to the CDT in Topological design based in Birmingham and of course everyone at @UoBChemistry

[Kate Hadley @ka_hadley]

Happy to have received a best poster prize at ISABC in Sweden! This is the 2nd time I have presented this work and my 2nd prize! 🌺💓🌸 However the real win is that people like talking to me about my work as much as I like telling them about it! 🥳 @Peacock_Group @brittonMRI

[Anna Peacock @Peacock_Group]

We've just published a mini perspective on our work into metallo coiled coils for use in MRI - which is perfectly timed with the launch of our new EPSRC Open Fellowship project in this area!

Also check out our pretty cool research which I presented for the first time! 😎@Peacock_Group @brittonMRI

[Kate Hadley @ka_hadley]

Happy to have come back from Dalton2025 having presented my first oral presentation, it was great to chat to such lovely people! To top it off I won the Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson poster competition prize for my pretty pink poster I presented as well! 🌸🌺Successfully week!

[Kate Hadley @ka_hadley]

What a wonderful early Christmas present from @molecularts_ !! Always such beautiful art! This is going to be my new calendar for the office! 🧪👩🏻‍🔬

[Anna Peacock @Peacock_Group]

Come and join us for a PhD exploring the design of new MRI contrast agents based on metallo peptides https://t.co/HPtgRI9Jl3 Please get in touch if you have any questions

but there are a large proportion of students who don’t realise their issues stems from dyslexia or are undiagnosed. I think it would be amazing if more courses and universities allow this to all students!(3/3) #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek #dyselxiaacademia #DyslexiaAwareness

[Kate Hadley @ka_hadley]

It is now officially dyslexia awareness week so here’s my 3rd post!
I absolutely loved my undergraduate degree! What I thought helped me with my studies is the fact that lectures were recorded and my lectures gave us access to printed lecture notes. (1/3)

[Kate Hadley @ka_hadley]

Relating to my previous post, this is not due to laziness or being disinterested. It’s just the speed at which dyslexics process information. It’s good that these issues can be resolved in reasonable adjustment plans… (2/3)

[Kate Hadley @ka_hadley]

This brings me to the question… should the use of audiobooks be acceptable to use in classrooms? (3/3) #dyslexia #dyslexicthinking #dyslexiaacademia

[Kate Hadley @ka_hadley]

Misconception two: ‘Dyslexia means someone is stupid/lazy’

Dyslexia is like speaking in a foreign language, it’s like someone who’s a non native English speaker having to translate from their own language. Does this mean they are less intelligent? Of course not (1/3)

[Kate Hadley @ka_hadley]

Many dyslexics are very hard working. They don’t learn in conventional ways. Forgetting to bring my English book to lessons left me with a few detentions… but what my teachers didn’t realise was that I was listening to the audiobooks so never used the ‘physical book’(2/3)
