Two different conversations with my disabled friends today. The systems need to change because nobody should be making their health worse just to get a degree. I am so much more supported in my workplace regarding my disabilities compared to my 7years in HE at multiple institutes

Do we need to change the way we view evidence? Is this one of the barriers to the mainstreaming of NFM? #FloodandCoast2023

So the main thing I have taken away from #FloodandCoast2023 is that people think there is not enough evidence around #NFM or #NBS however there is a whole truckload of evidence it just isn't the evidence they want i.e. not definitive numbers.

Having a great time at #FloodandCoast2023 @floodandcoast learning about NBS. However, where's the free coffee! Conferences run on caffeine 😅

I've had a fantastic time at #EsriUKAC so many different applications of GIS, and I'm excited to start using some of the spatial analysis techniques in my new role! Best of all, the accessibility has been amazing. I feel like a VIP! @esriuk

Poster is up at the @The_RRC conference- if you want to speak all things river restoration and flooding I'm the one in the wheelchair 😅 #Flooding

Just in case you needed to know this, there is a big difference between being sick and having a disability or long term health condition.

Had a great time in Dorking looking at some amazing leaky dams in an EA/PhD project. These LWD actually function as intended and are designed for the topography and with intent. Bonus for 2 ox bow lakes and a dog!

So I got a permit application at work today where they used bits of my PhD research from an RRC talk I gave 2 years ago 😅

The end of Women's league and Div 1 winners and Div 2 second place.

This is the wonderful Chris who has looked after me so well whilst at @EurostarUK

Being wonderfully looked after by @Eurostar

As always the staff at Stevenage train station were fabulous with the assistance even checking the lift was working at my destination! @TLRailUK

I think you can do better @ZARA I can't try anything on because the accessible changing room is being used as storage

Why did you study Geography and what do you like about Geography?

I'm not sure the PIP assessment service understands disabled people have lives. Second assessment that has now been cancelled 20mins AFTER it should have started.

Reported it to another senior male and told "just take them with a pinch of salt"

So I've been subject to a load of sexist behaviour. I really thought I'd be able to stand up for what is right in a situation like this being a strong feminist. Turns out I couldn't just sat there and turned into this boneless blob scared to say anything.
