I finished my #crochet blanket for the doll my son is getting for Christmas last night. The edges are a bit ragged but I'm super proud of it! Practicing so I can get good enough to justify the extortionate costs for wool to make an adult sized blanket.

I've learned a new #crochet move to make waves and I love it. This will be a blanket for the baby doll my son is getting for Christmas. (glass of wine included as crocheting in front of the Christmas tree with a glass of wine is wonderful)

If you missed @thisinstitute.bsky.social's conference, THIS Space, you can now catch up online! Find out about: Over-testing and over-diagnoses Improving maternity care Access to general practice Responsible data science and healthcare innovation and lots more! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

My Spotify unwrapped is: The Chordettes (my 1 year old son) AC/DC (my 4 year old son) Master KG (my 4 year old son) Nirvana (my 4 year old son) Taylor Swift (me) Basically I'm the least cool member of my family

This is a great opportunity to get involved in research, contribute to data collection, and shape how important aspects of perioperative care will be measured! #surgerysky #qisky #medsky

Hey everyone! 👋🏼 This is happening tomorrow 🥳 If you work in #scicomm in the Cambridge area, please swing by - bring your colleagues! Looking forward to seeing you all! 🍺🍔

If you're in or around Cambridge this Thursday, join us at the Tram Depot from 6:30 pm for the next Sci Comm Social. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just curious about what sci comm is, you're very welcome. We're a friendly bunch and would love to see you there! #scicomm #pubengage

I'm fairly new to #crochet so I don't have a blocking mat. My son does have a toy drill set though. I bet this was more fun than a blocking mat.

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us at #THISSpace2024 today. Every session was brilliant, and made even better by all the interesting questions asked. I'm already excited for THIS Space 2025!

Our conclusion after 6 years working across the healthcare system #safety

I'm loving the #THISSpace2024 conference so far! Inspiring talks from @janekohara.bsky.social and Jo McPeake this morning, diving into diverse aspects of healthcare improvement. I'm excited to see what the afternoon sessions have in store!

I'm on a 1 work-day count down to THIS Space 2024 (I don't work Fridays). Buzzing! Can't wait to see all you #QISky & #healthsky folks online for @thisinstitute.bsky.social's annual conference on Tuesday 26th. It's going to be a good one! www.thisinstitute.cam.ac.uk/events/this-...

Our house looks over our community allotments. I love watching how they change over the year. Waking up in the morning to see people already working hard. But this morning they are frosty and still, with nothing growing. Still beautiful though

There seem to be a growing number of healthcare organisations setting themselves up on here. Please do let me know about any one I have missed go.bsky.app/a2U8nw

Adding alt text to images is super easy. There’s even a handy Bluesky setting to make it impossible to forget. Go to Settings > Accessibility and select ‘Require alt text before posting’.

As temperatures drop to freezing, the @mayorofldn.bsky.social and London Councils have activated the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP), which means that London boroughs and City Hall will be opening up emergency accomodation for rough sleepers.

We’re counting down to our annual conference and have created an event starter pack so people can easily find and connect with speakers. Might this be a useful tool for events going forward or do you think they’re likely to be a fad as people get started on here?

@nihrarcs.bsky.social webinar: 'the invisible labour of #PublicInvolvement' with me & Stan Papoulias, chaired by @elspethma.bsky.social. Thurs 5/12/24 15:30-17:00 Info & booking: url.uk.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/Fcz7CzBW2u... @arceastofengland.bsky.social @nihrarcs.bsky.social @penarc.bsky.social #PPI

"A levitating frog, a necrophiliac duck, taxi drivers’ brains" I love the IG Nobel prizes. At the very least, they are a good tool to keep in your back pocket for some sciencey chats with just about anyone www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Got the #DisabledInSTEM Starter Pack up and running! Can't wait to see the list grow and meet new connections! 💜 go.bsky.app/SwJ4rFX

This is WONDERFUL!

See you all in the morning, I'm off to the moon tonight 3......2......1......Blast off!

To welcome @markhamillofficial.bsky.social to Bluesky, here's a throwback to the time I met him - alongside Jamie Oliver and Jimmy Doherty - to discuss the science of Yorkshire puddings. It was, without a doubt, one of my more surreal days at work.

November 18 is the International Day of LGBQTIA+ People in STEM! Today more than ever we want to stress the importance of communities, building connections, and raising each other up. Let's keep leaving our mark for the betterment of us all! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #QueerinSTEM prideinstem.org/lgbtstemday/

Whether you're a sci comm pro or just curious about getting started, everyone is welcome at Cambridge Sci Comm Socials! Come along to our last gathering of the year to share ideas, catch up with old friends and meet some new ones. #scicomm, #sciengage, #sciart

THIS Space 2024 is next week! Who's joining us online for a day exploring healthcare improvement? Check out this starter park for a glimpse of the fantastic people who are contributing. Follow them, engage and get ready for a brilliant day next Tuesday! go.bsky.app/US8mxiS

Saturday lunch, served with roasted red pepper soup. Made while my 18 month old challenged himself to empty every cupboard in the kitchen. Lunch looks pretty, the kitchen does not

Have you seen @thisinstitute.bsky.social's series on major approaches to improving and innovating in healthcare? Covering topics from statistical process control and supply chain management through to culture change and design creativity, it's fully open access. www.cambridge.org/core/publica...

Does anyone else keep seeing starter packs and thinking "Wow! Who knew so many people were experts in that?!" or "I didn't even know that was a thing, so interesting!". I've imagined myself in about 8 different random but fascinating careers so far today.

Couldn't find a starter pack for #PublicInvolvement #PPI #Coproduction & participatory health and care research so I started one. If you're not on this and would like to be and/or have suggestions of others to add let me know. Or indeed if you know of a starter pack I've missed go.bsky.app/PWEAnFR

Health Foundation is here! Most definitely worth a follow

UK healthcare professionals - help a newbie out? This is one of the first projects I've contributed to in my new role at THIS Institute. Take a quick survey and make your mark (and help me make mine!). #MedSky #QISky #SurgSky

As a tiny action to encourage the spread of evidence-based thinking, I'm providing free access to the Science Communication Fundamentals chapter of my book Building Science Graphics (incl links to the work of many thoughtful people) 🧪📊 #SciArt #SciComm www.buildingsciencegraphics.com/science-comm...

"The poor doctors and nurses don't have time to read all of the important research" 🙁 "Let's summarise the evidence in short and simple blogs, so everyone finds them easy to read and understand" giggled the elves as they blogged & *skeeted* 🤓 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M51...

THIS Space 2024 is going to be such an interesting conference. Free and fully remote. Grab a cosy jumper, comfy chair and cup of your favourite brew and join us on 26 November for a day of discussing healthcare improvement.

It's been a long time since I could properly call myself a chemist, but I still get excited every year waiting for the Chemistry Nobel Prize announcement. My only ever Nature publication was a #ChemNobel tweet. That counts right?
