Most days my “difficulties” are pretty minor and are handled with helpful strategies. But today I’m just done. Today the feeling creeps in that there is only one way out.

It’s all well and fine to say “create a life you don’t need to take a vacation from”, but for some of us both options - a vacation and an ideal life - are not an option. So then what?

My /favorite part about being #disabled in #science is when I say "hey I won't be able to do this administrative thing using exactly the same process, but I have an alternate one that gets to the same endpoint" and that's somehow seen as The Worst Idea, so I get work taken away from me as a result

Hi I'm Isabel! I'm a scientist who studies infectious diseases in animals.

I do #SciComm when I can, write in #disabilitychat, discuss being #queerinsci and #marginsci, and I run a local #Indivisible group in my free time.

My handle comes from the way a barista spelled my name on a coffee order. I still wonder how I said it.
