SLDO Director leads new study to develop pioneering cancer detection technology
"We know that conventional mammography equipment presents significant technical barriers that unfairly affect women with learning disabilities. To address these challenges, supported by the CRUK Early Detection and Diagnosis Primer Award, we will develop an innovative Smart Bra solution utilising Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) technology"

Such needed work 👏

Avoidable deaths in adults with learning disabilities | Our research | Scottish Learning Disabilities Observatory

"...Young adults (25-34 yrs) with learning disabilities are 9 times more likely to die of treatable causes of death..."

Difficult to read. Shocking stats here in Scotland.

There is a lot of underdiscussed ableist bullshit in #academia ( #AcademicChatter ) this paper highlights. But there is an interesting and important thing there - at least 10% of academics in #STEM (with a PhD) have a #LearningDisability !
Don't let LD stop you from aiming high

(I actually think there is a lot of under-reporting there; high intelligence can mask for some LD)

💡 Exploring the Intraparietal Sulcus (IPS) and its connection to dyscalculia reveals its crucial role in numerical processing. Dyscalculia, a learning disability, is linked to impaired function in the IPS, affecting the Approximate Number System (ANS). Understanding Weber's Law helps explain how numerical distinctions are made. Enhancing awareness can improve educational strategies for those affected. #Dyscalculia #NumericalProcessing #WeberLaw #IntraparietalSulcus #LearningDisability 💡

You can follow these hashtags or similar ones and try asking there too. Best to get varied perspectives since no one individual experiences everything

When I drop my housemate at uni (she works there), we'll often pop past McDonald's so she can get an iced coffee. I'll use the app to order for her, especially if I have points to get it for free.

The app gives an order number made up of 2 letters and two digits for you to tell the drive through person... which means looking at the code on my phone and remembering it to tell the person, harder than it sounds for someone who has adhd, dyslexia and dyscalculia.

So, I make up images...
LR36 - 36 lesbian rogues
TH95 - 95 tiny hitlers
MB42 - 42 monkey butts

...I'm dreading the day I forget to translate it back to the code and just yell FIFTY FOUR OTTER DICKS at some poor customer service person trying to do their job.
