I wrote a very personal blog. It wasn't easy to write, but I think having a discussion around academia and mental health is really important!

Out later this week: Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder and Academic Research – An Incompatible Pairing? by Jenny Lange "I find it easy enough to discuss depression and anxiety, it’s much harder to outright say that I have been diagnosed with EUPD." Check out voicesofacademia.com

Been a while since I posted, leaving the shit show that's twitter. Here's me giving a talk in October on the quacks and charlatans of medicine for London Month of the Dead. #womeninstem #neuroscience #neuroskyence 👩🏻‍🔬🔬🥼🧪

I have been placed in a position where my reasonable adjustments for my long term disability have been utterly ignored, and I'm kind of being bullied out of my job. Gotta love academia.

Disgusted by the Home Office's treatment of my brilliant colleague @DoselineKiguru, whose six-year old daughter has been denied a UK visa. This decision needs to be reversed immediately. Please repost and share. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023...

Had a really cool time speaking for London Month of the Dead at Guy's Hospital Chapel, discussing research misconduct in science with a spooky angle! ☠️

Belated Halloween post, but is spooky season ever over?

This feels suitable for my first post; it's Halloween 🎃 season and I'm giving a talk for #londonmonthofthedead We'll be discussing the psychology behind the ‘mad scientist’, and thinking about what happens when science turns 'bad'. AND there's cocktails! londonmonthofthedead.com/madscientist...
