1/6) This month @ladders4action learnt about card testing. This is where a small donation is made to test whether stolen credit cards are working. Unfortunately we recently found out our donate button was used for this purpose. Our site was not hacked and all data remains secure

1) @ladders4action has been working in the humanitarian, health care, charity, business & higher education space for 8 years. I started the org in the final year of my PhD, I'm really proud of of all that we've achieved. It's been a hard decision, but we will be closing in Oct

1/3) Here's a short clip of me and @ZJAyres comparing the ADHDer experience in academia to life as Buffy the vampire slayer (play and take off mute)

An exploitive part of academia is having to get another job offer to be able to demand my job compensate me fairly. Now more senior scholars flood an already full job market. This particularly disadvantages scholars of color because our work is often boxed in as just “race work.”

There are real challenges when it comes to dyslexia & academic study. However, what people often don't talk about is the dyslexic advantage. Hugely grateful for being an academic with severe dyslexia. The higher you go the more of an advantage it is. I hit my stride at PhD level

After years of thinking I’m not clever enough, I’ve finally achieved my degree. I’m not academic in the slightest but I had to prove to myself “I can do this”. Dyslexia won’t stop me!

@drhannahrobbins I only got to know you from a @ladders4action webinar on the UKRI Covid funding to black academics I attended and I loved you there! Many thanks for this piece, which speaks very close to my heart, as I am co-drafting an article on care ethics for women academics

@ladders4action website was recently used for card testing. The site was not hacked & data is secure, but there were some consequences. Some of our emails were not received & some genuine donations were returned in error. A sincere apology, we are working to resolve the situation

4/6) I'm working at restoring the website & repairing the damage done. I will sift through all the refunds and try to contact everyone who might have had a genuine refund returned. Please bare with me I will get this done asap but being a little nonprofit this is a lot of work

@Ladders4Action have a collection of SO MANY resources and (free!) events for researchers from a variety of disciplines. They're taking real action against the #SystemicRacism that does exist in #STEM and beyond. #Inspirational

Preparedness. Preparing for an event or disaster so the impact is lessened. Whilst typically we are encouraged to think positive and hope for the best, it is typically those who think about and prepare for the worst who fair better & survive when disaster strikes.
