@IAPLL1 closing the PLL5 conference #PLL5 @SMercerGraz thanks conference organizer Imelda Brady. There’s even a Kazoo chorus of ‘For she‘s a jolly good fellow’.

[Jessica Mackay @JessBCN]

@IAPLL1 In his closing plenary at #PLL5 by Peter McIntyre calls for more Ns = 1 research. Research at group level may be generalisable, but we need to know what is happening at individual level. What makes an outlier exceptional?

[Jessica Mackay @JessBCN]

@IAPLL1 Brilliant closing plenary at #PLL5 by Peter McIntyre. 25 years of research into Willingness to Communicate

[Jessica Mackay @JessBCN]

@IAPLL1 @SMercerGraz introduces Peter McIntyre for the closing plenary at #PLL5. His presentation lived up to the description of the man himself - Witty, clever, generous and inspiring! And if Peter’s wife asks, he was wearing his jacket and smart shoes!

[Jessica Mackay @JessBCN]
