Quite right 😊

I'm guessing academic papers and not newspapers 😭

Of course! That would require remorse and humility.

You can use zinc oxide tape, athletic strapping tape or kinesiology tape, that has more stretch.

Reads: The Fellowship from the NIHR gives me protected time over the next five years to lead major research projects in two rare neurological conditions, which will aim to improve rehabilitation for patients. I’ll bring on board a postdoctoral research physiotherapist to work alongside me. It’s a huge opportunity to advance rehabilitation research for people living with rare neurological conditions.

🎉 Many congratulations to Dr @gitaramdharry.bsky.social on being awarded a £1.6M NIHR Fellowship!
She will be leading research into two rare neurological conditions: CMT and CANVAS.

I find painting mindful and it refreshes my thinking. All so important for the day job ☺️

A key message is how we pay forward to those stepping onto the journey & I've contributed a few thoughts in the last chapter on how we share our privilege.
Supervisors & supervisees, I honestly think this is a great guide that's both practical & human.
Thank you for bringing it to life, Janet! 3/3

What I love in particular is the inclusion of chapters that focus on the person, such as health and wellbeing, being a care giver while in the PhD journey.
