We must understand how minority views influence majority participation in online discourse. The authors study Republican supporters of childhood vaccines (the majority) and how they react when exposed to an online environment dominated by anti-vax Republicans (the minority) #Misinformation

Can epidemiology models explain how rumours spread? This analysis, using the Great Fear as a case study, provides a quantitative answer to "the unresolved debate between the role of emotions and rationality in explaining its diffusion." #BehaviouralScience

Read about Research Capacity in SLT/P a great study led by brilliant SLT @katiedooslt.bsky.social using behaviour change models (TDF & COM-B) to make sense of it! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We are delighted to have @drhelenslt.bsky.social join us this morning to discuss the importance of agreed terminology in speech sound disorders. Thank you Helen and thank you all for joining us! #iaslt #iasltcpd

New article from my PhD findings. Children aged 5-8 with CLP had lower visual and auditory attention skills compared with norms and these skills were correlated with language outcomes. Available open access @drhelenslt.bsky.social @cristina-mckean.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

"Gaza is 25 miles long and 12 miles deep.. onto that area has been dropped around 100,000 tonnes of explosive, thats more than was used in Dresden, Hamburg & London in WW2, over a much larger area" Emma Murphy was on a recent air drop flight over Gaza & describes what she saw

The people asserting that the climate crisis isn’t real don’t make a penny off it, of course.

Wonderful evening at @stephenunwin.bsky.social ’ book launch. @johnharris1969.bsky.social was marvellous and I could have listened to both men for a few more hours. Do grab a copy of their books - available in all good book shops.

We must end the genocide in Gaza & Israel's apartheid against Palestinians. Activists came together at our National Conference to discuss how Amnesty's campaigns must evolve to effectively hold our govt accountable for its role in the ongoing genocide & its lack of action to end Israeli apartheid.

Absolute madness for the police to be arresting protestors including an 83 year old reverend. Labour has made a big mistake and this will seriously backfire on them. The police aren't even investigating many actual crimes and we're regularly told the prisons are full.

Applause... and envy! 🏊‍♂️

@dysphasiapv.bsky.social has written the first autobiography by anyone with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and you can find out now about it 👇. #DevLangDis

obviously this is mental in and of itself but man alive it really does suck extra hard when you think about all the ACTUAL CRIMES the police just isn't investigating, because of "lack of resources"

Not only will I never buy or get inside a Tesla, I am baffled that they are still allowed on our roads. Deepest sympathy to anyone who owns one. Is this a case of miss-selling for a class action lawsuit??

The search for the most British thing imaginable is over

@drhelenslt.bsky.social recognises the MANY #SSD experts a Ross the #UK who took part in the @misltoessd.bsky.social Phase 1 study to achieve #consensus on #SSD #outcomes 🙏🏻 #ThankYou @icpla2025.bsky.social @nihr.bsky.social @bristol-sltru.bsky.social

Aw, thank you @drhelenslt.bsky.social 💙 Great to see everyone & also hear about all the impactful research & QI activity u are supporting!! The SLT Community are very lucky to have you!! 🤩 Thanks, again, @stephvanee-slt.bsky.social for the invitation (and my sandwich!!) 🥪 See you all again soon xx

@nesltresearch.bsky.social @stephvanee-slt.bsky.social & Helen Wood tell us about an important research step: replicating an exiting study with an extended population. Speech and language disorder in children with CL+/-P is way more complex than we first imagined.

@nesltresearch.bsky.social Did you know that children with CL+\-P are likely to have language difficulties as other children? Anna Kennedy tells us about developing an early language intervention for these children

@nesltresearch.bsky.social Good to hear from Dr Kate Hope about the Places study collaborations,the need to tailor interventions to places, be flexible and still maintain effectiveness

The brilliant @drlisa-ahp.bsky.social keynote @nesltresearch.bsky.social talking to us about how we can involve Multidisciplinary Teams in our research. Dr Lisa is the embodiment of the MDT as a consultant AHP at Newcastle Hospitals NHS FT

@nesltresearch.bsky.social Johanna Butler PhD study into practice. Presenting scoping review of literature for adult-child interactions (not parent-child) and ways of data gathering. Rigorously applied methodology

@nesltresearch.bsky.social Researching our practice with evaluation of new initiatives in speech & language therapy for children. Lots of mixed methods embedded in practice through QI, objective and rigorous. Using SLT students on placement from @nclslt to support projects. Excellent practice

@nesltresearch.bsky.social Anna Burhouse telling us about closing the research-practice gap in the PreCePT project for premature neonates in SW England. Lots of behaviour change and implementation science going on.

@nesltresearch.bsky.social symposium 2025 The brilliant Anna Burhouse from Northumbria Healthcare NHS FT on QI stressing the importance of teams (not the online space🙄) and people working together

@hcpc.bsky.social I’ve just renewed my HCPC registration for another two years. Having spoken to SLTs in other countries about governance and professional standards, I’m glad we have HCPC regulation to protect the public and us professionals.

We won, and we won big! 🤩🏆 Our 2024 #CommercialBreak campaign won in the Best Consumer Campaign category yesterday at the Sheila McKechnie Foundation awards. 🎉 We’re thrilled to see our activists’ voices take centre stage — and to see their power finally getting the recognition it deserves!! 😎

Over 50% of Bristol’s residents are non-religious (Census data). It's unsurprising that parents are outraged by the Trust misusing falling enrollment numbers in its own faith school to solidify faith school dominance. Local? Respond to consultation. www.hotwellsprimaryschool.org/amalgamation...

Hotwells Primary School is the only non‑faith primary in the local ward. Parents, pupils, and local residents are determined to save it, and so are we! Local? Sign the petition to save the school. It already has over 1,000 signatures. savehotwellsprimary.org
