1) @ladders4action has been working in the humanitarian, health care, charity, business & higher education space for 8 years. I started the org in the final year of my PhD, I'm really proud of of all that we've achieved. It's been a hard decision, but we will be closing in Oct

1/3) Here's a short clip of me and @ZJAyres comparing the ADHDer experience in academia to life as Buffy the vampire slayer (play and take off mute)

[Corey J. Miles @CoreyMiles__]

An exploitive part of academia is having to get another job offer to be able to demand my job compensate me fairly. Now more senior scholars flood an already full job market. This particularly disadvantages scholars of color because our work is often boxed in as just “race work.”

We are delighted to announce that the 6th speaker for the James McCune Smith Annual Conference is Dr Addy Adelaine @AddyAdelaine, international social worker and CEO of non-profit @ladders4action.

Great to connect with our postgraduates yesterday as we discussed how to identify & navigate power in academia.Thank you @ladders4action for running the workshop & enabling us to share personal experiences whilst thinking more critically about the structures of power we encounter

There are real challenges when it comes to dyslexia & academic study. However, what people often don't talk about is the dyslexic advantage. Hugely grateful for being an academic with severe dyslexia. The higher you go the more of an advantage it is. I hit my stride at PhD level

[James BSc (Hons) DipN RN NMP 🏳️‍🌈 💙 @JamieRN84]

After years of thinking I’m not clever enough, I’ve finally achieved my degree. I’m not academic in the slightest but I had to prove to myself “I can do this”. Dyslexia won’t stop me!

[Ladders4Action @ladders4action]

@drarunverma @nnriaz Thanks Arun @AddyAdelaine and @ladders4action is now based near Glasgow

[Ladders4Action @ladders4action]

@AcademicChatter I've just ordered a remarkable to take electronic notes - super excited

[Dr Addy Adelaine @AddyAdelaine]

@UKRI_News & the research councils are looking for new council members. The role is for up to 20 days per year, with an honorarium of £6,850. Closing date 23rd July - it would be great to see some diversity in applications https://t.co/7gXNDUl0SI

@drhannahrobbins @drhannahrobbins I only got to know you from a @ladders4action webinar on the UKRI Covid funding to black academics I attended and I loved you there! Many thanks for this piece, which speaks very close to my heart, as I am co-drafting an article on care ethics for women academics

[Ladders4Action @ladders4action]

@heidirgardner @ScienceOnA Thank you I was just writing an email to you now. It's been a nightmare to be honest and has already taken many hours of calls, emails, chats, complaints & hold music. We are getting there though, many thanks for baring with me and for the donation. I never knew this was a thing!

@ladders4action website was recently used for card testing. The site was not hacked & data is secure, but there were some consequences. Some of our emails were not received & some genuine donations were returned in error. A sincere apology, we are working to resolve the situation

5/6)We really appreciate everyone who supports ladders4action, your donations really help us to do advocacy and all the pro bono support work we do, thank you for your patience

4/6) I'm working at restoring the website & repairing the damage done. I will sift through all the refunds and try to contact everyone who might have had a genuine refund returned. Please bare with me I will get this done asap but being a little nonprofit this is a lot of work
