Posted as a reminder as a few folk seem to have forgotten.
Research comes in many guises- for the love of god stop diminishing some work as more valid than others to be classified as research. Does it fit the definition, then it’s research. You are investigating something.

[Dr. Meg MacDonald @Megintransition]

Frescati definition:
Research and experimental development (R&D) comprise creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications

I've created a brand new museum …in the Metaverse! @meta Quest 3 and @UofGlasgow’s ‘Museums in the Metaverse’ project has digitised thousands of artefacts so you can see and handle them from home. It's pretty cool! Visit 'my' museum here👇#ad

Here @Lucy_Worsley tries out our first @UofGMiM prototype for an in-depth, 360 look at some remarkable objects related to #MaryQueenOfScots! “So the only question left is, what will you put into your museum?”. No surprise - Burnsiana #RobertBurns for me! @GlasgowBurns @UofGMiM
