I'm 100% with Keira about not wanting the limelight. It's not easy to avoid in my line of work and it means I'll never get promotion, but it's just not the way I'm made. I'm slightly disappointed she relented and agreed to it, but also it'll make a nice Grundy moment at the show. #TheArchers

It must be about time for Hugo Spritz to get a mention. #TheArchers

Travelling around Borneo, and what did I find? Helios by @lukejerram.bsky.social is in Kuching!

Spicy margs reach Ambridge! Blimey. #TheArchers

#IWD seems a good time to thank @nihr.bsky.social for the recent policy regarding sex and gender in health and care research. Recognising difference by disaggregating is important to make sure healthcare works for everyone. www.nihr.ac.uk/about-us/who...

Oh, it's Ellie Taylor's Safe Space?

I'm still slightly disconcerted by the new #NIHR website font. #ImportantResearchOpinions

Alarming, but not surprising. www.bps.org.uk/research-dig...

The last two eps (4 & 5) from the last @academicarchers.bsky.social conference are so interesting. Making #TheArchers sounds like a logistical nightmare - I'll be tempering my complaints in future! Hats off to all involved. academicarchers.buzzsprout.com

There's a journal out there with a lot of faith in me... I'm late with one review but they've still invited me to do another. ☺️ #DontStopBelievin

Festive funtimes, feels a long time ago now. Happy new year?!

No Azra, you really shouldn't be telling her all that. 😱 #TheArchers

Astonishing. Just a thought, but perhaps publishers should pay peer reviewers for their time and expertise, rather than expecting free labour. I know, silly me. Or, maybe this never went near peer review. I spent hours recently reviewing a manuscript for Scientific Reports. Did I waste my time...?

A few years old now but this is an interesting insider's view from @daraobriain.bsky.social of how to put together a stand up show, via Eddie Izzard. shows.acast.com/a18c2026-fb6...

Mwahahahaha... love being Reviewer 2! What will I recommend... 😇

Amazing news from @advancedntc.bsky.social - 75% less Huntington's disease progression in @nihr.bsky.social study: www.nihr.ac.uk/news/treatme...

I think BBC Radio 4 need to move Paul Sinha's Perfect Pub Quiz to a different timeslot. It's really hard to do the double hand clap in the theme tune whilst driving home from work. I barely managed it. Tsk.

Award now proudly on display in my office! 🙏

We are excited to announce the launch of our first ‘Ethnic Inequality Conference’ scheduled on 04 November 2025 at UWE, Bristol. Conference includes keynote speakers, posters and workshops from BNSSG Diverse Research Engagement Network. Further details, click here. www.uwe.ac.uk/events/inclu...

What an honour. How lovely to be recognised by my colleagues. 🥰

I'm lurking in the LEAP Festival of Digital Health 2025 highlights video - it was an interesting day.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTS-...

How lovely to have been shortlisted! 🙏 It's a pleasure to work with my @uwebristolofficial.bsky.social @chcr-uwe.bsky.social colleagues and I'm touched they feel the same! 🥰

Have they released tonight's episode early? #TheArchers @thecidershedpod.bsky.social

Hooray! I love it when the line "hello you two" makes an appearance. #TheArchers

Stand down, AC-12. #LineOfDuty

One good thing about posting on the work account is that no one knows it was me. Oops. 😋

Happy Valentine's Day to all our researchers!

I'm on the hunt for things to cover in Research Digest once again. If you're a UK-based psychologist and have published something nifty in the past 6 months or so, link me! I'd love to have a read.

Really interesting podcast with Gráinne Maguire about writing comedy. So much applicable to research and academia too - manuscripts, grant applications, ideas, proposals... 👍 open.spotify.com/episode/52VB...

Hi Bluesky! 👋
