Taking care of yourself is critical to your ability to care for others! Don't forget to eat well during finals, eh? To help, we're offering free “brain food” at our Edinburgh and Scottish Borders campus libraries through Friday 2 May, including protein bars and fresh fruit. #selfcare #heriotwatt
You can't care for others if you don't care for yourself! A huge part of being an advocate is demonstrating what SHOULD be done, not sticking with 'how we've always done it.' And that counts for self-care!
What have you done to look after yourself today?

Word cloud centering 'intersectionality' and exploring linked concepts
Let’s talk about #intersectionality — a term that’s shaped equity and justice conversations around the world. What does it mean to you? How do you define it?

So what's EDI anyway? Equity, diversity, & inclusion aren't just buzzwords. They're how we create a world where everyone can find their best way to thrive. www.hw.ac.uk/uk/services/...
