Owen @owenb5.bsky.social · 26/02/2025I think this is one of my favourite gifs ever. Alongside the ‘this is fine’ dog in the fire! 120
Owen @owenb5.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Great to hear of those being offered interviews for DEdPsy programmes. Good luck to all. If you were looking for some lived experience of the process of becoming a Trainee EP you might be interested in this PsychBites episode! 040
Owen @owenb5.bsky.social · 24/01/2025I think one of my favourite parts of doing thesis research was the deep level of thinking, the exploration about a subject and where the research could take it. Doesn’t always make it easy, however 🙂 020
Owen @owenb5.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Really enjoyed recording this episode with Dan. A lot of food for thought around what types of evidence we might be using in practice and what biases might exist… I’ll ignore the confusion Star Wars and Star Trek @psychbites.bsky.social, but I will prepare some essential reading / watching for you! 021

Owen @owenb5.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Oh for sure! My wife tells me that style/cuteness sometimes overrides functionality haha. She’s often right about that, even if I bemoan it in the early hours of the am 🫠 000

Owen @owenb5.bsky.social · 27/08/2024Happy to share that PsychBites podcast is now on Bluesky! Give them a follow if interested in educational psychology and looking for relaxed, bite size listening you can get into on your commute. 040
Owen @owenb5.bsky.social · 19/08/2024Hadn’t seen Rocketbooks before so thanks for sharing! The iPad does take some getting used to, I’m left handed too so that came with some different challenges writing on screen 😅 010
Owen @owenb5.bsky.social · 19/08/2024It’s really difficult isn’t it. Some of my favourite people, sports teams, organisations all update from there. I take some solace in that, whilst I can’t leave completely yet, I’m spending less and less time there. 010
Owen @owenb5.bsky.social · 17/08/2024Wob.com is brilliant for affordable secondhand books, textbooks and resources. Think about how to take case notes on the move in a classroom. Going digital is good - e.g iPad/Apple Pencil, or a good old 4 colour pen, pad and clipboard can save a painful wrist! 110
Owen @owenb5.bsky.social · 15/08/2024Thanks for sharing this Natalie, look forward to reading it! Timed well as I’m currently planning induction for the new AEPs in my team 🙂 130
