THIS is amazing news. @bbcstrictly - I’m a lil excited to see this in the UK. Norway were brilliant with doing this and @BirgitSkarstein was brilliant!👏🏾
It’s been announced that @bbcstrictly are going to have a wheelchair user this year. I’ve just sat, honestly close to tears, as I’ve scrolled through the ableist comments about how wheelchair users are not welcome on the programme but also in general society.

Honored to have moderated this session. I learned a lot! Several thought provoking comments and discussion points on the topic of how we will evolve at @NobelPrize week dialogue w/ Paul Nurse @francesarnold Tom Kirkwood @BirgitSkarstein
Take a listen👇
"Any evolutionist knows all solutions come from diversity."
'How will we evolve?' was a question posed at our Nobel Week Dialogue in December which led to a lively discussion from diversity to inequality.
