2018-2020 was the most challenging time of my life (as detailed in the long thread below). Delighted that @NCanagarajah and his team deem it necessary to challenge my resilience just that little more in 2021 and ignore my contribution at such a difficult time. #NoOneIsRedundant
During this time I continued to give my all to my students and even came in one day I was feeling ill to see a student who had not been engaging, I was worried about losing them given their own mental health struggles. I know I contributed to this student graduating.
I carried out data collection in schools with the RA support of @CharliCampbell_ (one of our graduates who is now a PhD student at Loughborough on a related project) and a volunteer undergraduate who wanted to gain research experience. Tell me again my research is redundant.
I even submitted a £500K UKRI bid. But what I didn't do, is pursue a funding bid I had discussed with a colleague in the Health and well-being research strand. If I had, I would not be at risk of redundancy now #NoWebpageRedundancies
I'll keep fighting with the help of my colleagues, wonderful students @uol_psychsoc and powerful union @leicesterucu & leave this thread with a photo I took on this morning's run, where I thought about my mother 💛 how proud she'd be of me & the lovely messages from my students

In May my wonderful mother and amazing Oma to my son died. A long thread about, her, #mentalhealth #rheumatoidarthritis #cancer #NHS #carehomes #covid19 1/43 Marie Frosch stood at lake
I couldn’t have asked for a better mother, she embodied one of her favourite poems ‘Why god made friends’ 2/43 Image
And a former neighbour, about 50 years younger than her, captured her so beautifully when she wrote this 3/43 Image
