I’m looking for a little help with my PhD research: a service evaluation to understand how GPs assess and manage ppl presenting with #tinnitus & #hyperacusis. If you’re a #GP, your insights are incredibly valuable. The short, confidential survey takes around 10–15 mins. Scan QR or link in thread

Yay it's Godzilla Day!! Happy Birthday Godzilla!!

But a friendo from my friend - these little pocket buddies are brilliant, soft and tactile and the perfect companion for when you're off on a new adventure or when you need some comfort and reassurance #friendo

Osaka is quite the contrast after Kyoto! The view from our hotel this morning is spectacular, but only one more night before we fly home...

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

LOUDER 📣 “…analytic approaches such as reflexive thematic analysis are human research practices requiring a subjective, positioned and reflexive researcher and therefore the use of AI in such approaches is not methodologically congruent" docs.google.com/document/u/0...

A fantastic opportunity for healthcare professionals seeking to combine a clinical and academic career in mental health research! Fully-funded PhD @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social starting in Oct 2026 mentalhealthresearch.org.uk/fully-funded...

After a stressful start to the day (I lost my train pass between the hotel and the station) we have arrived in Kyoto! Grabbing a quick beer and lunch whilst we wait until we can check into our hotel...

Bullet trains, beer and beer teppanyaki! We've left Tokyo and are now in Takayama. Day 5 of 10 and I'm officially in love with Japan! 🇯🇵

Morning from Mt Fuji x

I've received an 'exclusive' invite to try Nature's new 'research assistant', which will burn down a forest to provide a 'summary of the paper' I'm reading and I have SUCH exciting news for them, that's called an 'abstract' and the actual authors already wrote it for me, no forest-burning required.

First ethics application has come back with minor revisions only! Great news, only I've already started my annual leave and won't get to amend my application for two weeks... Argh the frustration!!! #phdlife

Look who's coming to Japan with me!! #friendo Thanks @vimtotime.bsky.social x

Temporary road block in place #swans

Packing has started!!!! Squeeeeee #japan

A bit early for Trick and Treat isn't it? #swans

Have changed my supervision day from Wednesday to Monday which means an early start to get to campus - the week now starts with a shock!! #phdlife #notamorningperson

I like to party* 😎 (*and by party, I mean nap!)

Awful news coming out of Manchester. My thoughts are with everyone caught up in the horrific incident, and also with emergency services responding to the aftermath x

1/2 As Deaf Awareness Month continues, we’re sharing a moment of connection through music. Dame Evelyn Glennie and Lois, both profoundly deaf, engage in sound and communication in different ways.

2/2 Deaf experiences are diverse. Communication is personal. Listening means meeting people where they are. #DeafAwarenessMonth #IWDP #TeachTheWorldToListen #DeafCulture #InclusiveCommunication

“The long history of trying to ‘cure’ or eliminate autism has been a history of terrible abuse and dangerous sham treatments." I spoke to @autisticadvocacy.org's Greg Robinson and @drstevenkapp.bsky.social about the awful autism presser yesterday. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Hey! More lovely #buyastrangerabook day action. @sdharrison.bsky.social is offering to buy someone a copy of either "Cuddy" and "The Gallows Pole" by Benjamin Myers. If you'd like one, let us know! UK only

Quick lunch taken, & on to the lunchtime seminar - today's topic is Autistic experiences of auditory environments. V much appreciating guest speaker starting their presentation with a positionality slide & explanation! #nothingaboutuswithoutus #auraldiversity #neurodiversity #salfordaccoustics

Was supposed to be doing SPSS training today from 12-1pm, but no-one will let me into the meeting and I don't know the name of the facilitator to message them for help... Am taking this as a sign that it's not for me, and having an early lunch instead! #phdlife #spss #statistics #frustrating

I am begging people to please seek out Autistic voices if you want to learn about autism. You will find that rather than wanting our lives to be prevented or cured, we want appropriate supports for ALL Autistic people (including those with intellectual disability and other co-occurring conditions).

This is a sobering read, but absolutely underpins why I'm pursuing my PhD research!

Two very important graphs. Net migration reached record levels in 2023 - and has since halved. The vast majority of arrivals comprises students and workers. Arrivals in small boats and asylum seekers - less than 5%. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I've been trying hard to be consistent at this - so pleased to see my stats have improved as a result! #UseAltText #AltText #accessibleforall Check out yours here: cred.blue/alt-text

It's Welcome Week (also Welcome Back week) at university - so lovely to meet fellow PGRs at all stages of their research journeys, but also so very tired now! Have also been to the library 📚
