I am passionate about campaigning for raising awareness for inequalities that impact the research community, specifically early-career researchers. I founded the campaign ‘The Lost Voices’ from a UCL Researcher-led Initiative Award in 2020, and continue to champion to bring these voices and conversations out of the dark.
