Rose Acton
This week we celebrated the life of @RoseActon, our wonderful Zinc colleague who tragically died at the age of 28. Rose’s life was far too short, but it was packed full of achievement, love and inspiration.
Rose summed-up everything we aspire to be at Zinc.

Glad I had opportunity to share my (on-going) series The Cure with national audience @BBCTwo, exploring spinal injury, crossing into access/disability themes, inspired by my love of Old Masters, X-rays, using traditional oils & virtual reality

This a time where we need to call out people for their appropriation of other people's pain and silencing of minority voices. We see you @lcmcveigh and @JonnyGeller! Thank you @CandiceC_W, @renireni, @nikeshshukla and @MonaChalabi for calling this out #everydayracism

2 personal goals have been stuck in my head for years:
- how to make low-cost robotics incl. gripper to help people with disabilities to be independent (since '13)
- how VR can be used to give people with disabilities more freedom ('14)

Thank you NHS workers everywhere. I certainly would not have survived my car accident aged 2 in the 80s without their hard work and support for the last 38 years! Cambridge Uni, full-time work in the City, art exhibitions, VR short films - none of it possible without NHS!

Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most famous polymaths ever to live. But did the polymath mind die with the end of the Renaissance? A panel of British polymaths including Davey Jose whose spinal cord exhibition is on display at the NSIC will discuss below
