🌍 Inclusion in academia means valuing every voice - across borders, genders, and experiences.

With International Day of the Girl Child this month, I want to reflect on how we can empower future generations.

Imagine a young girl/woman just starting her academic journey.

What advice would you give her to help her thrive and achieve her potential?

Delighted to see this report published today. I undertook the research via my consultancy, Watson Research & Training, and much of the evidence was derived from the Dunhill Medical Trust & Chief Scientist Office studies that explored the medicine-related needs of older people with sensory impairment
