An interesting article about the impact of consumers drinking less in restaurants - first time I have heard the phrases "damp drinking" for drinking less volume overall or "99% sober" for a mostly dry lifestyle with the occasional exception! www.theguardian.com/food/2025/oc...

‘It’s really good for the staff’: how restaurants adapt to customers drinking less

Always great to hear directly from the sector leaders about how to structure systematic change. Some key insights include: unlocking the potential of the sector, creating enabling conditions and understanding the history and power dynamics of exist relationships. #vssn2025 #vsvr25

Branden Bingle talking a bout the barriers for people engaging in health and social care research. Importance of ‘what’s in it for them’ reflects what we see in our research as well. Need to show the value of participation. #vssn25 #vsvr25

Always thought provoking @ruthpatrick0.bsky.social! Important to really think about realities of participatory work. We often see this in the voluntary sector: balancing the demands on the sector, the degree of support needed to join in research and articulating the benefits to them. #pppconf2025

Some insights from #scos2025 with Anne Theunissen and Grace Lordan getting us to reflect on different gendered aspects of work as well as Agnieska and Igor Postula having us consider the odd liminal spaces of managers. Lots of ideas of work to revisit.

Extremely important discussion about queerness and work. Some similar themes to race and work here. Eg inclusion, having to constantly educate, and various forms of conforming to pass at work. Thanks to Anne Theunissen and Grace Lordan #scos2025
