@ZenaKamash Good luck Zena, sounds like a very well thought through decision. Would be lovely to catch up soon xx

@SusannaASansone @OxfordeResearch @oxengsci Wonderful Susanna! Congratulations! 😊

To make this as accessible as possible to everyone, there is a PDF version of the book available for £4.99 (though the £30 hard copy is beautiful), and you can get the majority of the content free on the book website (just a few of the benefits of self-publishing!)

@SamKBurrell Hmm, I share my office with my son too... I see this issue looming in my near to middling future.

"...for the future, a more consistent approach to details in REF exercises would be very helpful: please pick where you want to go for dinner and send us the menu in advance."🙏Still haunted by the many and varied interpretations of 'indicative maximum'. https://t.co/q4iUuegm9I

What a devastatingly brilliant ad

Sticking my head above the parapet here. Have had the privilege of reviewing applications (sized £200k to £20 million), from 4 different countries' national funding bodies in the last fortnight. And here is my main takeaway... (there's a question at the end of this thread!) 1/n

[Ruth Kirkham @rumaryk]

Fascinated to hear Dr Jennifer Leigh's @DrSchniff career journey #nextgenerationimpact. There's not always an obvious path (and countless unnecessary, unfair barriers) and yet what a triumphant path for women and those with young families!

When you're promised the restaurant serves tons of gluten-free options but all you can eat is a jacket potato.

Causality and complexity in impact statements: Is it time to rethink a one-size-fits-all approach to writing about impact?

Excellent article by @JulieEBayley as we look past REF 2021. "We need to remember what impact is truly about and mentally and practically unbind it from REF."

[Dr Julie Bayley @JulieBayley.bsky.social @JulieEBayley]

As we near the end of this REF cycle, there’s no doubt the sector desperately needs time to heal. Too many people are exhausted and despondent, with impact too deeply conflated with assessment. My thoughts here, with thanks to impact colleagues and #WIASN https://t.co/MHQM5PPGbw

For nurses, the proposed 1% pay rise for NHS staff means a real-terms rise of just £3.50 per week.

Please RT if you think that's disgusting.

@KFenbyHulse Not just us then? Phew!

[Ruth Kirkham @rumaryk]

@josephmdurso @wendyntheo It is really annoying! But easily fixed. I'm no expert, but fixed my son's joy cons with a £5 pack from Amazon and a YouTube tutorial. Been working fine for the past 6 months or so. Irritating to have to though...

Such lovely words on @kmeddings's message board: https://t.co/eFaFxSVr1k. Keep them coming so we can all take comfort in her impact and give something to Kirsty's family to cherish always. People can also donate to Maggie's Oxford in Kirsty's name: https://t.co/53OvOma439. Pls RT

We are utterly devastated that our colleague and friend Kirsty @kmeddings has passed away following a sudden and aggressive cancer. Kirsty was a force of nature and a huge part of Crossref. Our hearts go out to Martin & their 3 children. Pls share memories https://t.co/eFaFxSVr1k

This @rosca_ninizullu interview truly extraordinary. Child refugee at 5, gang member at 10, nearly died at 15 after being stabbed 17 times. Prison at 18. Then he met Jack Merritt who helped change his life. Film w @SkyAndyHughes. Please watch
