Our organising efforts are led by a radical idea of listening to evidence
We're supporting research by @GoldstoneRoss which will allow us to meaningfully look at inequalities between PGRs
Please fill in and share this survey on COVID-19 impact on PGRs socsi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form…

Throwback to February and running 7 hours of snowboard lessons in the cold and rain every Monday night with my beginners @CardiffSnow. Strange to say its the first December in 5 years I'm not in the Alps!
Let's send out some snow love to our very own Alexandra Adams. Our Team GB Paralympian is a DeafBlind skier and is set to become the UKs 1st DeafBlind doctor. Alexandra has been made homeless in Cardiff due to the pandemic & lack of support w disability. gofundme.com/f/jn5mg-tba
Good job we are a socially distant sport then!
🗓️ We're pleased to confirm that we plan to open the #CardiffUni campus in September and are working on meeting government guidelines. We're putting the safety & wellbeing of students and staff first, whilst also considering how best to support study.

📢 OPEN LETTER LAUNCH! 📢
Over the past few weeks we have been collaboratively writing an open letter with our collective demands, addressed to UKRI, UUK and various Ministers & Shadow Ministers.
You can find it here - please sign and RT! tinyurl.com/yczzllcq
ALT @PandemicPGRs SIGN OUR OPEN LETTER Written collaboratively by PGRs from across the UK. Asks include: Blanket Funded Extensions Equality Assessment PGR Representation Fees Suspension Pastoral Support Transparency & Communication Government Response
Our former President and Captains have been Disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent PGRs - including a deaf-blind Team GB Paralympian/Cardiff medic. Please sign and support. This should be a given, not something they have to fight for.
Disabled, ill & neurodivergent UK PGRs have had to organise during a pandemic to call upon UKRI & research funders for specific reasonable adjustments during COVID-19.
This is exhausting & important labour they shouldn't need to do. Please sign & share.

Answers please? We have ZERO clarity on how to interpret this. Our student group chats across schools, UG, PGT, PGR are very very stressed out and it's detrimental to mental health and wellbeing, especially now.
Hi again @cardiffuni @cardiffstudents @PostgradCSU @EducationCSU @WelfareCSU - can we have an answer or acknowledgment to our number of tweets yesterday about the no detriment policy or is the strategy to continue to ignore us? We’ve had so many worried people contact us
