Can we stop medicalising student anxiety as a ‘mental health problem’. I'd be anxious if I were about to enter such an inhospitable world: with flat-lining wages, high inflation & job insecurity, unreachable house prices, careers for life gone, & massive students debt to repay.

Awesome blog post!
My quirky thing that gets me strange looks in the field is the fact I hear certain dusty rock textures as high pitched noises and touching them feels like being electrocuted! #ActuallyAutistic #fieldwork

As someone that thought they love science BECAUSE of its objectivity, this article featuring @palaeobak has given me a lot to think about. #DiversityinSTEM blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2020/1…

As the autistic geoscientist being discussed here, I'm super happy with how @NatGeo highlighted access issues neurodiverse students face without sensationalising disability. Oh, and the geology is awesome, but I'm bias!
