The daily struggle as everything transitions back to in-person *only* events, competitions…
Do I attend and risk potential long term detriment to my (already shaky) health, or
Do I not attend and risk undermining my career development, prospects etc?

Does anyone have any references for creative methodologies that are inclusive of one's disability/chronic illness (i.e as a disabled researcher with little spoons)? Big bonus if it's in anthropology or at least qualitative research. #disabledresearcher

Can any @DisabledAcadem @chron_ac recommend a text to speech programme that works on windows that can cope with academic pdfs without reading all the headers/footers/web address along the side of the page etc in amongst the text

[Admin]: Hi all, we are looking for volunteers to help us with running our Twitter account. We feel that the team works best when we can share the workload, and so we would like to grow our team. 1/3

Tasks include monitoring the Twitter account, scheduling Twitter takeovers, and social media planning and strategising. We communicate with each other quite regularly so you would have support if you have any questions. 2/3

We understand that you are studying and/or working, have other commitments, and disability/health conditions. The volunteering would be quite flexible. Please comment below or DM if you are interested in becoming a volunteer or would like to know more. Thanks! 3/3

Advice I wish I was given during my PhD. Especially that if academia doesn't fit for me (being a #DisabledInSTEM #postdoc is *hard*) that's not my failure

This excellent thread captures something I've seen so many times when mentoring young academics through career choices: the sense of guilt and failure that often comes with deciding to leave academia.
Academia is *built* to reinforce this sense. It's hard to fight it.

Forced medical leave also violates the Americans w/ Disabilities Act b/c it deprives disabled students of equal access to education & essential disability accommodations: insidehighered.com/news/2021…

Looking for grad stu perspective: I've been on leave for mental health reasons since Septemeber. I'm scheduled to return in January but how will I know I'm ready to go back? I walked by campus today and couldn't stop crying. Will that stop when I'm "ready"?
