In one of those classic academic pile-up weeks I am working on two ResearchFish returns, REC response, grant response and curriculum mapping work. Please send urgent cake.

@hypnojoo.bsky.social Happy birthday for last week, birthday twin!

Our observational study suggest that 'temporal status' rather than clinical priority guides decisions about when to take vital signs and other care seen as 'flexible' www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #VitalSigns #HospitalCare

Huge thanks to @loleenberdahl.bsky.social for writing this guide to being a Bishop in a world of Pawns open.substack.com/pub/loleen/p...

Incredible influx of folks from the ex bird place over the last two weeks. Great to see you all here!

@katiecoveney.bsky.social Congratulations on the new SHI paper, looks really interesting.

fundingawards.nihr.ac.uk/award/NIHR20... I’ve started to work on a new study 'Improving the care that people with #LearningDisabilities receive in hospital with @drjohope.bsky.social. It's now live & the protocol is on the above link. We are working on a EasyRead & widget PES with our PPI groups 😊

Completed first month of leading our new & exciting project to explore & improve hospital care for people with learning disabilities. We’ve had two fun PPIE meetings and another this week, plus lots of setup work. Still thrilled the NIHR are supporting this work www.southampton.ac.uk/people/5xgq7...

I am substantially redrafting an application and am using NVivo to sort everything into new boxes that will hopefully become new sections of a form. No idea yet if this is a great solution for a significant rewrite or procrastination…

Our new paper on doing research with people with profound #learningdisabilities is available free with @jo3grace @m_nind and @CatherinedeHaa1 www.mdpi.com/2076-0760/13...

Every academic carries a bag that holds: • 1 printed out article they intend to (but never) read • 1 book that they’re late to review • 1 notebook full of half-finished project ideas • 1 highlighter that doesn’t work • 1 USB that they’ve forgotten what’s on it • Business cards that are out of date

@rachelbrooks.bsky.social Congratulations on becoming President! Hope all good with you and in the department.

Sweetening the process of checking alerts for new papers with a little Motown on the side. Doing an hour each morning. Not actually a bad way to start the day (especially with coffee).

Interested to hear everyone’s views on this one… thesiswhisperer.com/2023/11/01/m...
