The success of my active listening exercise in The Psychology of Leadership undergrad module today is debatable @NorthumbriaPsy

Reading the news coverage of the @UCU #FourFights strike, I get the impression that many people don’t know what University lecturers do (and why would they?), so here’s a thread on it. I’m a psychologist, so let’s start with the work of the average psychology lecturer. 🧵👇1/18

Really enjoyed recording this podcast with @BrownGenavee talking about my PhD research and general tips for any new PGR’s #phdlife #phdchat

I dropped a new space themed lecture on my students today. I love doing these 'narrative' style lectures, and it was a lot of fun but holy shit is a collosal amount of work ... I have basically screwed my life for the rest of term putting this together. https://t.co/Z7WxZzTo7i
