Great to see another organistaion considering the specific needs of those caring for young children. As with all things, policy like this will help some & not all, but the introduction of such approaches opens the door for future discussion about to how support all carers 👏👏👏

Fabulous to see @SoGLeeds researcher @AndreaL_Garduno present findings from her @WhiteRoseUC funded project integrating social science perspectives into chemical monitoring at the recent @Soil_Science conference - complete with baby in sling👶 @STEMM_carers
Had a great time at the @Soil_Science 2024 conference. Thank you @CarterL_J for supporting us to go in a way that worked for our family and to BSSS for accommodating us 🥰 #carersinSTEM
Thank you @FLFDevNetwork for the opportunity to talk about our work highlighting the challenges of balancing caring responsibilities and #academic travel. Excited to also share initial findings from our @STEMM_carers survey with @ljpally19 📊
Great to be at the @FLFDevNetwork discussing inclusive leadership as a collective of Lauras, we (the collective we) need to accelerate the implementation of policy change to improve research culture for all (inc carers) … “it might not always work, but we have to at least try”

One of our Lauras travelling to China … the juggle happened, but the science won over 🥼🥼
6 years since my last visit to @NanjingUnivers1 and it is still one of my favourite places to visit. A beautiful campus, great hospitality and interesting scientific discussions. We even managed to squeeze in time to see a greenhouse experiment 🤩🌱

Norway offers up to 2 hours of paid time per day for breastfeeding. Why do other countries’ parental support policies lag so far behind? go.nature.com/4hJfeWn
