Late to the party, but I did really enjoy recording these... In happier times!

Great to hear from Local Transport Minister @simonlightwood.org.uk “We’re looking to blend healthy, greener transport choices that give people greater choice over how they travel. That’s why it’s great to see this research showing areas with our e-scooter trials are now a safer place for cyclists.”

I'm chairing this here webinar, which is all about the learning from the community play Hard Evidence, which was co-created with survivors of #DomesticAbuse, alongside community theatre makers and researchers.

Interesting - and possibly surprising - findings from this natural experiment. Best evidence so far supporting the 'safety in numbers' hypothesis!

Nice article by @arc-southlondon.bsky.social (and quoting the fab @zoetw.bsky.social) on the rise of Bluesky for academics. Do give it a read and share it with your colleagues not yet on here!

Our paper about the lived experience of shingles is out. We found that for some people, linking it with 'low mood' or poor mental health was stigmatising, and resulted in shame and self-blame. Generally people don't know how debilitating shingles can be until they experience it.

I've been lucky enough only to stay in hospital once after having my daughter, but jeez the sleep was awful, and not just because I had a new born! So I'm really pleased that @bristolbrc.bsky.social is looking at this. A good night's sleep can't be underrated as a tool to help us heal after surgery

I think it's a while before the #AI robots will be coming for my job... Found out about a paper after it was published so stuck it in Chat GPT to get a draft news story. Asked it to include a quote from the authors (ie from the paper) but it made up an author - Dr Saira Ali - out of thin air!

I especially like the muscle wastage example @joelangley.bsky.social talks about. Instead of presenting the numbers in an infographic or news story, they created a 3D printed leg, and then one with 10% of its muscle removed. Also some shoes that replicated what it feels like to lose that much muscle

Delighted to be featured due to my very popular resource/ blog on how and why health research needs to involve communities ❤️ Involving us is the right thing to do for so many reasons! - understanding what matters to us - fairness - better science - building trust Nothing about us without us!

So you’ve decided to join Bluesky? Good for you, it’s a lovely place full of interesting, weird (complimentary) and fun folk. I’ve been here for a year, so I’ve put together this guide as a thread to help you orientate to the culture of the place. 🧵 [note this is a rewrite of a previous post] 1

Went to a brilliant @arc-west.bsky.social session on #blog writing on Friday, run by the brilliant Jarka and ably assisted by the equally wonderful @zoetw.bsky.social. (Loved Jarka's image of 'science writing'!) Really pleased with the blog I created on weight-based bullying - watch this space!

Decades of obesity policy have failed to make an impact. Could holistic modelling, which takes into account the combined and long term effects of interventions, help shift the dial?

Always a delight to work with Louise. I'm glad we can give her a platform and make her late night ideas into reality!
