Fantastic event from the Open Societal Challenges Arts-Based Methods event today 🎨 We covered a wide range of research highlights, using creative ways to engage people. See #SketchNote summary. For more 👇 www.linkedin.com/posts/vickyb...

Interesting session on using inclusive language today. Language is fluid, meanings change. It can be hard to know the 'right' terms. Be confident to learn by asking & respecting people's preferences. Approach this with respect/humility & your willingness to learn will be welcome 🌈 #EDI #SketchNote

Happy #GreenFriday! 🌍 Are you sick of the #BlackFriday hype? Step away from the Altar of Capitalism (aka the checkout), get out in nature, spend time with loved ones, indulge in random acts of kindness, support a charity. If you must shop, support a small local business. Be yourself 💚🍃

Brilliant final day at #Communicate2024 with a strong thread of disability inclusion, decolonising the nature sector and achieving culture change🍃 #SketchNote from today's sessions 👇🎨✏️ #SciComm
