I'm championing our project on role of health experts in Covid-related regulatory response (in the 'BLSS' list). If you're fascinated by the intersection of law, public health and policy, we'd love to hear from you :) https://t.co/dK4R8n0qhj

@JakeyySC didn't you invent this strategy (substitute 'pier' for museums)?

[Crappy Living @crappyliving]

I am very serious about a series of weekend writing retreats where I go to weird, melancholy towns, stay in a premier inn out of season, have massive breakfasts then spend the morning writing and the afternoon lording it in charity shops and local museums

@raulpacheco This collection is interesting - old now but not quite as old as Tearoom Trade. https://t.co/reyck3Ju1B

Fascinating work on noise pollution, trees /green space and urban health that should be of interest to our @BCUPublicHealth students

[Birmingham City Council @BhamCityCouncil]

🌳🌲Interesting article from @DrDavidGK today in which an academic has calculated that the noise-reducing benefits of #Brum trees have a health value of £4m - A THREAD (1/3)

Do you do research differently?
Do you/participants make things to make sense of the everyday?
Do you use #arts-based, #creative, #multimodal methods?
Do you collaborate with artists, writers, filmmakers…?
Are you an #artist/creative doing #research?

See below... ⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Kate Thomson @ThomsonKate11]

[Kate Thomson @ThomsonKate11]

Great start to our first in-person DigiDoc workshop - lovely to finally meet colleagues from Vietnam & Indonesia IRL & discuss doctoral studies for 'working' students. Thanks to HCMCUE for hosting #myBCU @CSPACE_BCU @CSCHaRR_BCU #GGP #UKChinaVietnamIndonesia

[Kate Thomson @ThomsonKate11]

@DrPetra Yep. If anyone has examples of institutions (external facing info) that explain this stuff well /inclusively would be great to see them while working our stuff up

[Kate Thomson @ThomsonKate11]

@DrPetra Great thread. I think we do well with induction info (including wellbeing, disability services etc emphasising how they serve doc students too, 'even' mature professionals, as many of our students are), supervision, current PGRs' tips, etc. But Web info pre app def cd be better
