In Newcastle delivering ‘Parliament for Researchers’ #UKPfR training today - I was literally the only person using an umbrella this morning despite the sleet. Does one not use an umbrella in the North East? I’m so sorry if I committed a faux pas. 😳

Our event on 12th March is going to be fascinating - and hopefully we’ll get loads of ideas for how @UKParliament can embrace and support researchers from BAMe backgrounds! Please spread the word and apply for a place! 👇

Any ideas on how @UKParliament can embrace and support researchers from BAME backgrounds? Had experiences of engaging with @UKParliament that you could share? Want to learn more about how to work with @UKParliament? Please join us on 12th March! 👉https://t.co/ud8Zie5apm

The @ClaudiaWinkle of knowledge exchange...? I’ll take that ☺️ - thank you @LeapfrogMark! *changes email signature*

[Dr. Mark Shanahan @LeapfrogMark]

How do you communicate your research to @UKParliament? The brilliant @NaomiSaintHoP (the @ClaudiaWinkle of @UKParl_Research - in a really good way) plays the MP role as researchers pitch their ideas on policy reform. #UKPfR

[NaomiSaintHoP @NaomiSaintHoP]

Are you looking for some interesting and thoughtful advice on bridging the gap between academia and policy? Yep, thought so! Have a read of this excellent article by our @POST_UK colleague @MillerJDavid, published this week in @NatureEnergyJnl: https://t.co/0LbY6EWY2T. ~Naomi

[Jack Miller @MillerJDavid]

I wrote this Nature Energy comment piece on overcoming the policy/academic divide. Feel very privileged to have been given the chance, thank you @NatureEnergyJnl!

Trying a slightly different training day today - a #geography themed #UKPfR with @RGS_IBG, focusing on how geographers can feed their research into @UKParliament! Hoping I’ll learn something about geography too...

[NaomiSaintHoP @NaomiSaintHoP]

Thank you @EmeraldGlobal for an interesting session this afternoon - lots of food for thought on how we can work together to support researchers looking to engage with @UKParliament!
