It was incredible how many Autistic Researchers were there last night, and lots joined on the night after registration opened up. With so many autistic researchers, it is crucial that #INSAR listen to our feedback about the conference in terms of accessibility and programme content going forward.

Happy #WorldMentalHealthDay 🌍 As Disability & Wellbeing reps on the @qmulsbbs.bsky.social EDI Committee, we organised a PGR Wellbeing Event to share ideas on supporting wellbeing during the PhD and building community. Thanks to everyone who came, and to Ben from Advice & Counselling for joining us!

Three big sheets of paper on the floow with post-it notes.
The three sheets of paper explore:

1. What do you do to help maintain good wellbeing during your PhD?
2. What would you like to do more of to maintain good wellbeing during your PhD?
3. How can we create a sense of community among PGRs, and how can we facilitate these conversations around wellbeing/mental health?

6 flyers spread across a table. The flyers provide information and QR codes for QMUL PGR wellbeing support.

Had the pleasure of attending EUNETHYDIS (European Network for ADHD) in Bonn, Germany. Four amazing days of talks, debates, discussions, and connecting with inspiring researchers and fellow ECRs. Left feeling genuinely hopeful for the future of ADHD research. Huge thanks to all the organisers!
