Just read Matt Smith's blog on a universal basic research income. I love the idea that academics could spend less time applying for money - with low odds of success - and more time doing, you know, research https://t.co/LvuAmEZZ92

@cerpintor They cancelled the Mercury Music awards tonight, so it's not looking good.

@mattpdawson But isn’t he just banging on about feelings and stuff?! (Spoiler: Genuinely excited to talk about this book with you when we go for lunch) x

[Lucy Pickering @AwfullySensible]

@mattpdawson Skip ahead. All the rest is just 🥱

[Lucy Pickering @AwfullySensible]

@mattpdawson When you read the bits about not pooing on the stairs and stuff I want you to remember the time Robert ended up having to give my L1 lecture for me and reading those quotes with a straight face

[Lucy Pickering @AwfullySensible]

@mattpdawson Matt, when have I ever said to you, “I respect your reading choices”, or “that book looks good but has a little too much about bodies in it”? This book has fart jokes!

[Lucy Pickering @AwfullySensible]

@mattpdawson I fully support this reading choice. About time you read something actually good!

[Lucy Pickering @AwfullySensible]

@chellaquint @MsMenstruation It was a really fantastic thesis, a brilliant read. And lots of exciting publications in the pipeline too. Keep an eye on that @MsMenstruation - lots more to come@I suspect!

[Lucy Pickering @AwfullySensible]

@DrSGreenwood @AnastaciaRyan Yep. Teaching with you and Anastasia was the highlight and yet another email over lunch the lowlight.

[Lucy Pickering @AwfullySensible]

@DiegoMalara7 @lindsaybucklin I wish!

[Lucy Pickering @AwfullySensible]

@DrSGreenwood I loved those signs! x

[Lucy Pickering @AwfullySensible]

@DrSGreenwood I suspects it’s intersectional, both fat phobia and misogyny (I just couldn’t get both points in the character limit!). The diss focused primarily on fat phobia and it was AWFUL. People were treated so badly. And in eg UK you can’t go find another, less judgemental doctor :(

[Lucy Pickering @AwfullySensible]

@DrSGreenwood I just marked a super depressing dissertation analysing tweets by women on healthcare & fatness the conclusions of which were 1) medics treated fat women’s unplanned weigh loss as unproblematically good & 2) responded to everything else with ‘just lose weight’. Misogyny sucks.

Super excited to see our first ethnography paper out from our @The_MRC @WASH_NTDs project from @UVRIug @IBAHCM @WCIPGLASGOW. Congratulations @agnes_ssali @MLazaaro @NalwaddaEdith @AwfullySensible. Thanks @trienekens for feedback & maps @elimin8schisto https://t.co/OUWRzBo2Go

[Lucy Pickering @AwfullySensible]

Super excited to be working on this substance use in the contemporary world microcredential with @DrSGreenwood and @joycefeminista!

@VvJota @fergus_mcneill @DrColinAtkinson @SusanABatchelor @sarahanderson26 @criminology You could try @QuirkosSoftware. Not quite open access but does awesome participatory analysis licences.
