Yesterday I had the opportunity to share details of a project I am working on at the Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) ECRG online research networking event. I want to thank the team involved in hosting the event for having me and for an intriguing event 😊

This month, I had the privilege of presenting on a topic I am interested in at the 77th OMEP World Assembly and Conference in Bologna, Italy. I'm thankful for the experience, and I hope to one day return to present again at another world conference.

Last week, I attended a PGR conference, where I presented a poster (a first for me) and received some insightful, useful feedback. I was also a part of the conference committee and chaired a parallel session, which was another first for me. I'm thankful for the experience! 😊

I found yesterday's National Neurodiversity Show in Liverpool to be very enlightening and insightful! I was able to speak with lots of professionals and learn about various services that are available for neurodivergent students and employees πŸ’‘
