Does anyone know of a paper that describes or provides examples of how participants can be involved in data analysis / interpretation using creative methods? @helenkara.bsky.social @jpueblafortier.bsky.social

New! Self-study course 'Introduction to Research Ethics'. Free to LMIC scholars. Covers everything from understanding ethics and examples of good practice to what not to do. Also, I wrote it, so you know it'll be engaging and useful 😉 Please share #AcademicSky risingscholars.net/en/news/deta...

Brings back memories of being presented an award by Julia Neuberger in sixth form many years ago!

Are you a midwife who has significant experience of using interpreters to discuss mental health with women? How do you do that effectively? 🤔. Would you be willing to share those experiences and help help shape future good practice recommendations? 🤔 Contact me 4 more info…

This is a fantastic project led brilliantly by @rachelbenchekroun.bsky.social with some really exciting contributions. A real treat for anyone interested in #migration

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

🆕 Our new paper just out in the Journal of Advanced Nursing! What’s it like to be a midwife in Europe doing a doctorate? Big thanks to the 207 midwives & associations who took part 💙 Read here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #Midwifery #PhDlife #Research @ansluyben.bsky.social

This looks incredible!

As a new PhD student I'd like to have known: *Dummies guide to how publishing works *Academic etiquette incl. how to reach out to those working in similar fields *What to do during a PhD to give oneself the greatest chance of success in academia at the end of it all

Yesterday: Nigel Farage says Reform UK "will detain and deport absolutely anyone that comes via that route.. Yes, women and children" Today: Nigel Farage, "Deportation of illegal immigrants, we were not even discussing women and children at this stage. The news reports who said that were wrong"

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Absolutely outrageous that the Taliban claim that Afghanistan is a "place where everyone can live with dignity" and equally outrageous that Farage wants to do a returns deal with them. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #genderapartheid www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Why is Texas limiting midwives’ ability to care for women—especially in rural areas? Silvia Esparza calls on lawmakers to grant midwives full practice authority. zurl.co/t6rvJ

This is the Home Office behaving exactly as intended: The visa fees paid by a grieving widower to bring his wife to the UK are kept. Despite the face that she literally died before she made it to UK soil. We need to rip this broken institution apart.

This is a disaster for maternal health in Afghanistan

Choose the research method that suits your participants and answers your research question. Not the one that you’ve got a cool new Miro board for. Not the one you heard about on LinkedIn. Not the one you want to mention on your CV. That is all.

This year has been devastating for Afghan refugees. As Afghanistan is plagued by insecurity, economic collapse, and deepening poverty, both Iran and Pakistan have started large-scale mass deportation of Afghan refugees. zantimes.com/2025/06/03/n...

“There is a quiet violence, too, in the way the MOD dismisses Afghan testimony – as if Afghan lives are lesser lives, Afghan grief a lesser grief.” From @ianoverton.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/05/15/m...

The war in Gaza is not only the story of rubble and airstrikes. It is the story of the girl getting her period under bombardment, the mother bleeding in silence and miscarrying on cold floors or giving birth under drones.

This book looks amazing! Trying to get my hands on a copy....

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

When you hear Lyse Doucet it makes you realise how superficial is the rest of the BBC political coverage.
