👏👏👏 this can mean the difference between being able to participate in conferences & missing out for so many mothers. #PhDMums @Momademia #HigherEd
As a first time mum attending academic conferences these past two weeks, I've been pleasantly surprised at the parents rooms available at the convention centres. It doesn't take much to be inclusive. #HERDSA2023 #anzahpe2023
