Se nos olvida que cuando se habla de esa época en la que "con un único sueldo vivía toda la familia", para que entrara ese sueldo hacía falta el trabajo a tiempo completo de dos personas (solo que una no recibía ni dinero ni reconocimiento)

Sometimes I wonder if we prefer focusing on STEM recruitment rather than retention because recruitment lets us talk about how exciting and impactful our field is, whereas retention requires us to look at our own culpability in creating environments where people don’t thrive.

We received feedback from a grant application that included "While your impact metrics & thoughtful approach to addressing systemic issues in AI are impressive, some reviewers noted the inherent risks of navigating this space without alignment with larger corporate players,"

For my doctoral thesis I explored the lived experiences of masking black autistic girls in UK schools and looked at how racism and ableism work in tandem to influence such experiences and how societal structures and systems marginalise and oppress groups deemed 1/3

Quienes realmente creen que el precio de la vivienda se baja "construyendo mucho" no tienen ni idea de cómo funciona el mercado de la vivienda. Eso no ha pasado nunca, porque el sector inmobiliario se autorregula para construir a un ritmo que no haga bajar la tasa de beneficio.

The Covid nurses I know tell me that their N95s have kept them Covid-free while they’re “doused in Covid all day” in the Covid ward. One reported only catching it while forced to snack quickly indoors due to no food breaks. ⬅️ That’s the problem, not respirators. Anecdotes like

“High-grade masks evidence weak, Covid inquiry told” by a woman who hasn’t read and understood the evidence, and who was trying to avoid any blame for the hundreds of thousands of COVID deaths and millions now with Long Covid because she failed to recommend the correct FPP masks.

It's important to recognize that poor mental health in the #phd isn't something that just pops up. It is fostered by environments that prioritize productivity over well being, competition over collaboration. The institution absolutely plays a role in this. x.com/karlerikmohlin…

For me it's like saying that double glazed windows don't insulate more just because there is "evidence" showing no differences in real buildings despite better performance in labs. That's evidence of poor installation procedures, not of similar performance.

1/ I’m doing a MA in Social Work because I want to improve how disabled people are treated in Ireland. I never realised how difficult it would be to be in a course where students and lecturers constantly and confidently say awful things about disability as if it’s common sense.

2/ In a lecture on ‘social work in practice’ today ABA was put forward as a good theory for social work with disabled people. When I raised how insulting that was my comments were disregarded.
