Is it ever possible to take annual leave as an academic? The kind of annual leave where you don't have to deal with anything work related because you're on annual leave? Asking for a friend.... #AcademicChatter @AcademicChatter @academicvoices

My PhD student @elinorlim_ needs more participants for her study on autistic undergraduate or master's students (current or past) and family members of them. Relatives (especially needed) can sign up on their own.

Lots of complex factors can influence a student's experience at university. There is still work to do to better understand Black students' support needs and experiences.
We can do better.

It's #AsexualAwarenessWeek, and we're doing our part to educate and raise awareness about Asexuality. If you identify as someone on the Asexual spectrum, we see you, and we support you 🧡

We are looking for university students with vision impairment, adults with VI who have completed a university degree within the last 5 years, professionals form national organisations and university staff to participate in the first phase of our
@TPTgeneral project.

It's not okay to offer funding where the recipient uses their own money first and is reimbursed later. This barrier puts serious pressure on those in less privileged positions. Many struggle (silently) or lose out completely. Reduce inequity by offering resources up front.

MRes:
“you need to pay £750 up front” “but I don’t have it, I haven’t got my funding thru yet”
“can’t you just borrow it?”
“No, I can’t as it goes. I’ve been a student for 4 years, I’m skint”
Also found out what “bench fees” are.
Post grad academia sucks if you don’t have £££

Just to add to this - while I was welcome most phases of my training (didn’t eventually make it due to mental health issues), but I was not treated well by a number of qualified because I’m blind and use a guide dog for mobility. Was very disappointed as thought I’d be accepted.

Your academic journey is YOURS. It's unique, valuable and worthy. Remember, comparison is the thief of joy. Stay focused on your own path.
The Neurodivergent Student Network retweeted
Imposter Syndrome is not a reflection of your inadequacy. It often stems from high expectations, fear of failure, or comparisons with others. Remember, you have achieved so much to be where you are today. You deserve to be here.

I am helping to support a student project which has been co-created with autistic researchers exploring autistic experiences of cervical screening. We are looking for people to take part in an online interview to share there experiences. Thanks in advance #AskingAutistics
Myself and @UWEHealthPsy are still recruiting autistic people to share their perspectives + experiences of the UK cervical screening process, + how it could be made more accessible. Please see below advertisement and click the link! uwe.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/for…

It's #friday! Let me remind you that resting and recovering should be a priority to be more productive and focused on your #research!
Especially if you haven't done so last weekend!
Slow down, relax and enjoy your free time!

The majority of research done at universities is done by PhD students.
