It's been 6 months and I have still not even had a first decision on a manuscript I submitted...is this just stock standard now or is it ok to follow up? I checked in 2.5 months ago and they said reviews were due in soon...but...that was months ago

Senior researchers, what are you doing tomorrow? Helping DECRA applicants navigate their referee reports, that's what you're doing tomorrow. Book in some quality time with them now. Normally reports drop around ~11am AEST.

My joy today came in the form of a formal email from my research office confirming my ARC DECRA grant has been submitted🎉🎉🎉 As always, exceedingly low chance of success but I have to say I'm extremely proud of this grant. I put my heart, soul, sweat and tears into it. It is the best it can be.

I can safely say writing this #DECRA26 grant has taken more time and energy that every other grant combined... And for such a low success rate. I'm grateful to have an ongoing role so my career doesn't rest in the success, but man I'm feeling for everyone whose future is in this lottery system

Grateful to have a wonderful work team with a lot of trust.

It was an awesome break but I love being home with these two. #dogsofbluesky

Final touches on my presentation for #SMAANZ 😍

Always worth remembering this, it’s ok to feel exactly how you feel and ignore any sentence that starts with ‘At least….’ #grief #childloss

Just to drive home the point: Research into misinformation strongly suggests that you do not repeat lies, even to debunk them. Don't quote tweet or screenshot lies. Paraphrase or say someone said something false or objectionable, but repeating lies helps to spread them.

I'm finalising my slides for my first presentation at #SMAANZ - Sports Management Australia and New Zealand next week. So excited to present this research on behalf of just a brilliant team of collaborators. @aureliepanko.bsky.social @emmasherry.bsky.social Kavanagh, McLachlan, Hamer, Parker

As a grant reviewer, what do you really wish people would do/not do? Not big things, like find a significant question/innovative method/be consistent with aims Little things, like bold each acronym the first time it’s used. Add your pet peeves ⬇️ #HiddenCurriculum #Research

🥳🥳 Funded! Amazing news today that our project on creating safer sport communities in Australia was funded by the Australian Research Council. Led by Kirsty Forsdike, this three year project is going to be really transformative. So proud to be an ECR in this mega team 😍😍

The new International Olympic Committee – IOC consensus statement on safeguarding and interpersonal violence in sport is out! From all reports, the review was a massive undertaking, sitting through over 20k publications. bjsm.bmj.com/content/earl...

From former #Australian #Volleyball #Olympians, we hear the price they never should have had to pay to compete for their country. Speaking of their time in the AIS, they describe experiences of emotional & physical #abuse they suffered from multiple coaches www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

'Deep down I was broken'- Former Australian Volleyball players speak out about the physical and psychological abuse they experienced at the AIS. This is a hard read, but a reality we must face. These voices must be heard. #abuseinsport www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

My passion for doing #safesport research comes from a place of wanting to make a positive impact in practices, policies and experiences in sport, and to this day all my favourite moments have come not from publications, but from people sharing how our team's work has impacted something or someone

We. Are. Not. To. Be. Pitied. I ask you: what does a victim look like? What is ‘typical’ victim behaviour? Are we weak, are we broken? No - we SURVIVED. And sometimes, through everything, we find our core selves - and emerge invincible. #CSA #sexualabuse www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

This is an infographic from our research in Australian community sport, which found that 82% of respondents had experienced at least one instance of psychological, physical or sexual abuse as a child in community sport. 1 in 3 had experienced all three types of abuse. #safesport

"In some instances, coaches initially found by the center to have sexually assaulted athletes on multiple occasions were allowed to return to their sports without any official public record of the claims made against them.." abcnews.go.com/Sports/us-ce...

I have been doing prep work for a guest lecture on ethics around coaching technology and I am shocked at some of the stats I am coming across. Perhaps the most mindboggling one is a prediction ab how many data point will be captured per athlete by 2025. 230 million data points per athlete🤯

Remixing a #Thanksgiving classic here...pecan pie cheesecake bars. Does it get any more American than this?

It's a rough life being an adorable little puppy. #dogsofbluesky

In all the furor and chatter around the #MikeTyson and #JakePaul boxing match, what has stood out to me the most was how no one was talking about gender based violence. "Note to Netflix – Mike Tyson is a convicted sex offender." inews.co.uk/sport/boxing...

When I'm not posting about safesport, I'm usually updating on the antics of these two trouble makers.👀

First post- 👋Hi world- I am a Senior Lecturer/researcher who is passionate about promoting safe sport practices/behaviours. My work focuses on preventing violence in sports, particularly safeguarding children. Looking forward to finding my people on this new-to-me platform!
