Introducing Rib:bit! Our brand new wearable sensing badge for research. Made to be very versatile for many research projects. Documentation to come. Developed by @johnvidler.co.uk Watch us send emojis between badges!

Making some card decks as "research probes" to help people understand their digital footprint and how third parties use it. With the help of 2 doggos. Help with conceptualisation might get them authorship credits.

I've recently started a project to provide stable identifiers for 'artifacts' (mostly maker/research/hobby electronics) to help combat link rot and aid discoverability. It works much like DOIs for papers, but is based on an open index maintained on GitHub - see hwidx.org for details :)

We have three new UCREL ( @ucrelnlp.bsky.social ) Corpus Research Seminar (CRS) videos out today; these were recorded some time ago, but our editor (me!) and approvals to release took a little while :)

Excited to be part of this and super timely given the government announcement to introduce digital ids.

The DECIDE Framework: Now published open access here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... @davidaellis.bsky.social @jntowse.bsky.social #EthicsInResearch #DigitalBehaviouralScience #DECIDEFramework #ResearchIntegrity

Now Published: The DECIDE Framework! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... Aims to enhance ethical discussions in digital behavioural research. We propose integrating ethical dialogues throughout the research process to address challenges posed by emerging technologies #DECIDEFramework

New paper by @bsiepe.bsky.social & WARN-D team out now in JoPACS, on the (lack of) relation between EMA selfreport and Garmin passive data. Guardian @theguardian.com coverage: www.theguardian.com/technology/2... Paper: psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d... 🧪 #PsychSciSky #StatsSky #EpiSky

Excited to share some new mobile technology in development! prosquared.org/2025-LSS-Pap... Watch this space! Feel free to reach out if you are interested in testing prototypes. @prosquared.org

When you present at a non-psychology conference and you need to introduce the field. @prosquared.org Hope I did us proud.

Getting hands-on at day 2 of the Device Prototyping Summer School with a PCB surface mount assembly tutorial! Delegates worked with the 'solder:bit' developed by Lancaster Uni's Devices Lab, which will be used to control a BBC micro:bit #pro2summerschool2025 @microbit.org @lancasteruni.bsky.social

It’s not everyday you get to solder a games controller @prosquared.org plz don’t zoom into the LCDs 😂

Our panel session on ethical issues in Cyberpsychology with leading experts is under way, with crucial questions being tackled such as the use of content on social media, AI, and public versus private content for data collection #cyber25

When should we have discussions about ethics during the research process ? Looking forward to presenting the DECIDE framework today at #Cyber25 @bpscyberpsychology.bsky.social

📣📋 JOB OPPORTUNITY! Research Associate: NABS+ Doctoral Fellow, Psychology, Lancaster University. Develop the next generation of computational/analytic behavioural and social science to address challenges in security and defence. Apply before 11 June: hr-jobs.lancs.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx...

🚨 Publication alert: Android log data are increasingly used in research, so @dougaparry.bsky.social and I have developed the first step-by-step tutorial on how to actually extract behavioral metrics from them. Read it now in Computational Communication Research: doi.org/10.5117/CCR2...

My first podcast! Talking about tricky ethical conundrums when doing social media research music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/fa6... Please follow the series! A lot more to come.

Lancaster University has been chosen by the National Police Chiefs' Council and @ukri.org as one of nine Policing Academic Centres of Excellence in the UK! The three-year award will go to a multidisciplinary team at Lancaster University, including @hshawberry.bsky.social and @drmcdaniel.bsky.social

Anyone know what this is ?

Want to hold ethical discussions in your university but dont know where to start? We have developed a format called "Cuppa Conundrums" which we have tried and tested at Lancaster University. See facilitator information here:

Applying theories from cyberpsychology to digital innovation. You can read my latest blogpost which outlines how cyberpsychology theories can help solve practical problems: lindakkaye.wixsite.com/dr-linda-kay... If you and your team are interested in learning more, I'd love to hear from you!

Meet Roxy. My research assistant. She’s only 11 weeks old but has strong views on research integrity and ethical practices.

If your NY resolution is to start a PhD programme, please check out the project I am advertising. Title: Shifting Patterns: Exploring Behavioural Biometrics and Contextual Variability in the Digital Age.

Been in the darkroom, making prints :)

Generating ideas for Cuppa Conundrums Sessions: a safe space for ethical discussions, focusing on new forms of digital data in research. We aim to develop a programme of conundrums that can be discussed at your own university. Let us know what you'd like to see in this programme.

Our spread for the last class of term 🍬

Had some blank playing cards left over from a class activity and found an old stamp ☃️. It is frosty season ❄️

Lancaster Folk: Please come along to our first Cuppa Conundrums Session, where we discuss tricky ethical conundrums that may arise when doing research projects. First Topic: Using Social Media Data in Research The libcal signup link: https://buff.ly/3AYS5yE

Hoping to direct more effort to microblogging as I always fail at maintaining normal sized blogs. Any tips at maintaining this alongside other academic commitments?
