Cultural competency training can’t provide the experience of feeling confident that a healthcare professional can, if required, (correctly) recognise and address one’s cultural background. Homogenous Wellbeing services are not transcendent to this but rather, fails its students.

Islamophobia is not only rampant in the Conservative Party, it’s rife within British politics more widely.
So if you oppose Islamophobia, speak out when Muslim Labour colleagues and I raise it, not only when the Conservatives are guilty of it.
Racism is not “contrary to the British tradition” — How many non-Black academics have been (unduly) credited to making any links between capitalism & slavery, off the back of this suppression? I wonder. theguardian.com/world/2022/j…

I'd love for all those going on about 'endemicity' and how this means the 'end of a pandemic' to spend a single week in a hospital in India, and see what endemic diseases do to people... the ignorance in scientific leadership in the UK is absolutely breathtaking.
Reflecting about the recruitment process at work & can’t help but feel that giving a 100% weight to the interview is unfair on many counts. Educators are moving away from high-stakes assessment — why not do the same with recruitment? Parity between the written & verbal ‘stages’?
I wanted to tweet more often this year but not sure I’m au fait with how to reconstruct and play by semiotics of this app. Wish me luck!
Family would disown me if I learned to cook from here — imagine ‘teaching’ the ‘mob’ how to cook — father owns a restaurant in one of the most affluent places in the UK & went to one the most expensive universities in the UK! Feels like entrepreneurial just connotes privilege
'I was at university, none of my mates were cooking, I could see [online cooking content] was not catering to a youthful audience anymore.'

Some excellent and much needed work for advancing research comms. Extremely grateful I got to be a minuscule part of it.
Our 3 Applied Comics Collaborations projects have been a joy - here's an overview (by @JimMedway) of this project's focus on finding ways for researchers & comics creators to work together (from home) appliedcomicsetc.com/project…

Women and colleagues from BAME communities are more likely to be precariously employed, more likely to see their careers vanish as universities terminate casual + temporary contracts. This is an equalities issue
