Great to see 18 UCD Staff from across our campus become fully ASIST Trained in Suicide Intervention. Another piece of the puzzle to protecting our UCD Community and communities beyond. It was amazing to join together with a group of people committed to supporting mental health.

Did you know that the @DeptofFHed is currently doing a sweeping review of how PhDs are done in Ireland? The National Review is an opportunity for Ireland’s PhD researchers to outline the many problems they face and have their voices heard on the issues that impact them most. 1/6

[HEA Access @HEAaccess]

Really important point made by Professor Pól Ó Dochartaigh - the barriers that exist for disabled postgraduate students not only negatively impact students but also represent a huge loss of potential and talent for society

On world mental health day, it's important to remember that policies designed to keep people out of poverty, prioritising safe affordable housing, effective social welfare, free medical care & cultivating a culture of acceptance are far more important than general platitudes

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

On this day in 1951, Henrietta Lacks died.

Her cells were taken without her knowledge in 1951 (HeLa cells) and became one of the most important tools in medicine. They became vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, in vitro fertilization & more.
