So excited to see that we’re taking steps to making Science inclusive. The design of EEG is for straight hair and neglects to include those with coarse or Afro hair, which is basically BME people. Thank you Grovers lab for beginning to change this 🙌🏽.

For me, what made the difference, was that professor (my supervisor). I have never had anyone hold me to such a high standard. He believed in me, undoubtedly, and that was in something I had 0 experience in. Having that kind of person behind you is priceless. #Mentors

A while ago I spoke to the Gaurdian about BAME students doing PhDs, which has now been published - have a read! Disclaimer: first in my family to go onto postgraduate not UG.
