Montenegro is both super beautiful and super hot! 🇲🇪☀️

And Dubrovnik wasn’t bad either!

A very interesting book by @anilkseth that explores the scientific enigma of consciousness and the research trying to understand this fundamental component of being human. Highly readable and highly recommended. #bookreview #psychology

Fab weekend of having fun, having nearly forgotten what it is like over the last 6 months!

However, Kagan’s critique is intended to spur action to redress any disciplinary shortcomings and he makes some suggestions about how to achieve this.

[Dr David Preston @davidp_ep]

Another Kagan book finished. A thought provoking journey through the methodological, conceptual and theoretical shortcomings of psychology, largely due to a failure to consider the contextual impacts of time and place. Measured and well evidenced as with all Kagan’s work.

Critical Mass is an interesting book that requires a committed read, but rewards the investment of effort. It looks at the application of concepts from physics to the emergence of patterns in complex large scale social phenomena. Niche, but fascinating. #bookreview

@bolton_jinks It was very tasty!

[Dr David Preston @davidp_ep]

Pleased to report I passed my viva today (with a few minor amendments). Celebrations slightly curtailed courtesy of train cancellations on the way home, so here I am looking a bit frazzled after today! #thesis #viva

[Dr David Preston @davidp_ep]

@NazamHussainEP Thanks for the recommendation!

[Dr David Preston @davidp_ep]

@easyJet Hi Zama, apparently one of your colleagues has sorted it. Thanks for reaching out, though. Much appreciated.

[Dr David Preston @davidp_ep]

@ExpediaUK @easyJet: one of you has made an error with the passenger details in my family’s flights next month, but neither seem capable/willing to sort. Any help would be welcome to sort this out. #bookingfail
