I’m privileged to have family nearby. There are many young scholars who are not. In an inclusive discipline, one would hope we not forget the obstacles facing @AcademicDads and #academicmoms. #AcademicChatter #academicparents @momsinacademia @AcademicParents #polisci

Realise I’ve been quiet recently… I got ill and am now better. But still exhausted. Be kind to yourself. We run so close so 100%, when you need a bit more it isn’t there.

There's something magical about a grant form that starts with a 500 word box requesting how you will make sure you embed EDI in your programme. When the form is released 3 days before the deadline, during a school break.....

We've both been in my "office" at home since about 5:30am and are having a productive morning. I just wish my work looked as nice as hers. 💕 #AcademicParent #ECRChat @Momademia @ClaireCarswellx and @EvansNifty please note her pencil case! 🤓

Kiddo has RSV. Any and all tips for helping little ones cope while getting work done would be appreciated (note: we do not own a TV). #academicparents @Momademia

When they calculate "the cost of raising a child" do they include the cost of paying for services you used to do yourself? Asking for a guy who just paid $94 to have two small light bulbs replaced on his car.

Sorry I haven't been posting more... I've been trying to find a new source of energy to copy with two teenages in the house. Coffee just isn't doing it anymore. I look at the cans of engergy drinks the students have and I think they're on to something.... #AcademicDad

So I nearly slept through my radio interview on @2GB873 this evening to discuss @Voice_Literacy (because super symptomatic). Then miss 7 hung up my phone because watching TV on it. But we got there in the end #AcademicDad #BrainInjury
