I had such a wonderful time working w/ Chamiah Dewey to design what we believe is the first-ever wheelchair-adapted lab coat! It’ll be used in the UCL Innovation Lab & hopefully made open-source. I’m really enjoying finding opportunities to adapt clothing outside my own closet!

My current hack to trick my ADHD brain to get started on something - stick a record on: I have until the end of the album to work on the thing, then I'm allowed to stop (I usually don't stop). This morning it's @PSB_HQ's new album which I picked up on Saturday.

Devastating news this morning for women, for immigrants, for science, for love. Hate, misinformation, misogyny, and lies have won. The US holds no longer the American dream for me. 😢

Had a lovely day in Leeds talking all things open research, EDI and evaluation logic models and surveys with some UKRN people. Now I could sleep for a week but instead I'll be up bright and early for some more open research chat - tomorrow's topics are training and comms.
