Dr Clare Stevenson, Head of Science Coordination and Research Culture at the John Innes Centre and the lead for the new project, said: “This funding will help us to expand the reach of our current EDI training beyond research institutes into higher education, and help us to address priority EDI areas and behaviours to promote a positive research culture. “Our original BBSRC-funded Neurodiversity project continues to reap rewards, with Newcastle University recently partnering with us to roll out the training at their own organisation. To be able to build on that relationship, and work more closely together on a new project from day one, is really exciting. The new e-learning content will be co-created with colleagues across our organisations, ensuring it is grounded in lived experiences from a wider range of STEM disciplines.”

Delighted to get a brief chance to tell.het about the importance of Technicians and the Technician Commitment

Decided to join @bsky.app and see what the fuss is about. I'm interested in raising the profiles of people that are taken for granted in research and celebrating team science where different perspectives and strengths bring great results.
