Rejecting 'fixer' and 'fixee' narratives, which limit collaboration and agency

Understanding that no single solution suits all, embracing the complexity of dis/ abilityPerson with short brown hear wearing a white top and grey trousers talking into a microphone in front of a PowerPoint which reads:

It was inspiring to hear all about what fellow PGRs are working on. The day was bookended by two fascinating keynotes. Plus pizza, win-win!
