Independence is a big buzz in school and parenting circles. I have noticed that parents often feel pressure to prove how independent their children are, even as they hover over them, prompting their actions and ideas, and looking to successful goals achieved, arbitrary milestones reached or tasks managed to demonstrate their child’s independence. But is that independence?

I am one of thousands of researchers funded by the BHF. Just £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist like me, but every pound helps so I’d be so grateful if the Notre Dame community could help me reach my target.
