*temporarily* COVID Info for Cardiff Students retweeted
Our former President and Captains have been Disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent PGRs - including a deaf-blind Team GB Paralympian/Cardiff medic. Please sign and support. This should be a given, not something they have to fight for.
Disabled, ill & neurodivergent UK PGRs have had to organise during a pandemic to call upon UKRI & research funders for specific reasonable adjustments during COVID-19.
This is exhausting & important labour they shouldn't need to do. Please sign & share.

WHO ARE WE?
👨🎓A group of Post-Graduate Researchers who started meeting weekly to discuss a national response to the @UKRI announcement that only 3rd year students would receive blanket funded extensions.

Arts students will be last to go back to university - @SianGriffiths6 in tomorrow’s Sunday Times #TomorrowsPapersToday
Excellent work from @GoldstoneRoss ⬇️
PhD students need better protection from Covid-19: the lockdown is affecting not only final-year students, and, says Ross Goldstone, without a blanket funding extension, many others will suffer and drop out

Clearly, trying to remedy an initial £20m black hole caused by marketisation, with increased marketisation, has proven not to work. Universities must undertake a structural shift in order to prevent further staff and students losing out. @cardiffstrike thetab.com/uk/cardiff/2020/0…
ATTENTION PGT students! It’s your turn to be shouted out!!
