Sending lots of love from the UK to you Beth. Life sucks sometimes own it's own and these current events just make it even harder. I want to believe this will pass faster than we think. Also, you are brilliant! And lots of people, like me, appreciate your work a lot ❀️

Had a fantastic time yesterday discussing our findings from the Ethnicity and Unequal Ageing project (www.ethnicityandunequalageing.ac.uk) with the team at @ageingbetter.bsky.social. Thank you very much, Jemma and the team, for the kind invitation and for taking the time to listen to us.

These structural barriers matter: they shape whose voices are heard, whose knowledge counts, and whose health is prioritised.

Takeaways:
* White men remain the most represented, though their share has declined slightly.
* Authors from Caribbean and Bangladeshi backgrounds are consistently underrepresented.
* Patterns vary by gender Γ— ethnicity, showing complex dynamics of exclusion.

Thanks for sharing that Michelle. I have a preference to put the blame elsewhere, and not use words that feels like we are labelling groups as they were defined by it - people are not vulnerable, society is making them vulnerable. So, I prefer to use 'being marginalised' or 'being minoritised'.
