Depressing findings from research by supported by @ukri.org (ESRC) "450,000 more 25- to 34-year-olds living at a parental home" cf the # expected at the 2006 rate. Unsurprisingly, it's higher "in parts of the country that have seen particularly high house price growth" ifs.org.uk/publications...

On tenterhooks for the first @ukri.org post...Will they go for cheeky humour, big news or a low key "Hi everyone"...?

@dankingdk.bsky.social and I have been wondering for a while if and when some of the major UK research funders would jump from X to BlueSky. Seems like it's starting to happen, with @ukri.org, @wellcometrust.bsky.social, @nuffieldfound.bsky.social, @nihr.bsky.social all creating accounts recently.

The @researchconsulting.bsky.social "review of the year" is coming up in 2-3 weeks. In the meantime, do enjoy a throwback to 2023.

Nice work @rschrobuk.bsky.social! A really helpful thread and series of replies as a kick-starter to Bluesky connections and all things 'research'.

Wellcome to Bluesky @researchconsulting.bsky.social! #research #consulting
