This is just so sad and frustrating. My colleague @jjyerbury does #MND research. He also suffers from the disease himself. He books a cruise with @RoyalCaribbean, provides them with all required info months ahead and brings a support team. Only to be denied boarding...
@RoyalCaribbean It’s too late because we have missed our special family cruise

Not good enough @RoyalCaribbean. We told you in November that I have #MND #ALS and you decide as I am boarding that I can't go???

Took some time with my crew of clever and kind local women this morning. I see these women most days, we share the hubbub of daily life and help each other keep our shit together as curve balls land at the front door. 1/

Singing in our 2019 cohort of human geography honours students! What a welcome! Lyrics by the lyrical genius Gordon Waitt to the tune of ABBA’s ‘Thank you for the music’ (renamed: ‘Thank you for the honours student’!) #SingingAsPedagogy

Some weeks you just have to make space for a break from the screen and the noise and go camping on a Thursday night. My mind is much clearer today as a result!

Hear from some wise and inspiring ECR women:
In March is the @GeogSocNSW Postgrad Networking Event! 3 ECRs in geography will discuss what they wish they knew pre PhD & what life looks like post-PhD, including their experiences of navigating a rapidly changing academic landscape! @SusannahClement @LauraAH110 @alanna_kamp
