Firstly, thank you for a wonderful talk and sorry I've missed it in person! My question is what key advice you would have for an Early Career Researcher embarking into the research sphere of sex and intimacy. #OUtalks@OpenUniversity
@Stew4SNorthants @TweetingCollins Thank you for standing! Heartbroken to see the result, but positive to see the overall picture across the UK. Hope to meet you some day on the academic circuit :)
For anyone hiring cars avoid @green_motion99 at all costs. Out of hour phone number wrong, and charge you for parking tickets EVEN when cancelled. Plus no way of actually speaking to a human over the phone (discriminatory against those without digital capacity).
The importance of public engagement in science. Perhaps if we'd prioritised these sorts of research agendas we wouldn't have been in this situation. But also, for politicians at least, ignorance is higher on their agendas.
The more I hear from the Covid enquiry, the more I think that the PM and the majority of ministers did not have the intellectual tools necessary to understand scientific advice and therefore to be able to weigh it successfully alongside economics, social science etc. In my view this can be traced to educational failure - they weren’t taught or didn’t learn the basics of science alongside their chosen disciplines. This also applies the other way round to scientists of course. Breadth of knowledge is key, as well as specialisation / expertise, and I don’t think our system delivered that in the 80s and 90s when I (and they) went to University - whether it does that today is an open question. I think we need to be producing more polymaths.
