An intro for anyone new here:
Hi!
I'm a journalist, author and editor.
My book Made Possible is influenced by my sister Raana (pictured!): an anthology on success, by people with learning disabilities: SUCCESS!
I chair Sibs, the charity for people who've grown up with disabled brothers/sisters. I’m an ambassador for the non-profit National Development Team for Inclusion.

Sharing this shot for the recent National Siblings Day: me on the right, with my sister Raana.
We were debating the merits of coffee and, typically, whether I’d get her another!
The sibling experience is unique - tricky, fun and everything inbetween.
The UK charity Sibs supports siblings and the unique relationship they have with their disabled brothers or sisters. Sibs knows this role needs to be recognised.

This study shows that the RNA-binding protein FMRP binds the Csw/SHP2 transcript, which in turn regulates presynaptic MAPK/ERK signaling and neurotransmission. This mechanistically links previously two previously unconnected cognitive disorders, Noonan syndrome and Fragile X syndrome.

Hello 2023.
The traditional focus on the new at this time of year isn't always ideal.
Continuity, familiarity and routine - at a gentle pace - are as valuable.
My family got back to a familiar festive routine after Covid/lockdowns forced a break..a gentle stroll along the seafront.
Here's a collaborative selfie by my sister Raana (I held the camera, she pressed the button).
Hope 2023 is kind and treats everyone well.

This final toot in my thread's public as I think it's important and a wider point about public interest journalism:
I couldn't write the kind of pieces in this thread without compassionate, supportive editors and - crucially - people sharing their time and stories, not easy when you're going through hell. That includes people/families who shape my reporting, but aren't always quoted.
End of thread!
