I remember Meera Syal saying on a tv chat show about twenty bleeding years ago about the lack of representation of poc on tv particularly in advertising. It’s taken this long to finally see a fair balance so that stupid women and others like her should just shut the fuck up.

Ever run researcher development sessions and noted a gender disparity? Our paper on this topic, simmering away since 2024, is out! Our fearless leader + heaviest lifter on this work is undeniably @drmeagantyler.bsky.social. * insert 'We're not worthy' meme * Thanks, @herdjournal.bsky.social! 🫰

Reflecting on an inspiring time at the @ncrm.ac.uk Improvising Methods Forum 🧵Stitching together ideas or engaging with stillness amongst among the trees, every moment sparked new ways of thinking 💬 A real highlight was meeting new colleagues and collaborators who made the experience truly special
