⭐️Preprint⭐️

Our new preprint from @york_tap_lab is out, which looks at what makes it harder (barriers) and what could make it easier (facilitators) for people with chronic pain to take part in research studies.

One of the greatest barriers to Inclusion within the UK is the idea of “social class”. This ideology pervades virtually every part of British life, but is almost entirely ignored in Inclusion initiatives. Why is this? #inclusion #socialclass #EqualityOfOpportunity

@MMapness @AdultingADHD Depending on the meeting, I use a fidget, I craft or turn off my camera and clean or tidy while I listen. I find I actually remember what was said better when I do this last one!

@kayritchiepsych If you are incapable of figuring out whether or not you are at a party, then you are probably not competent enough to be running a country…

No food, no fuel, a social care crisis - it’s almost as if vast swathes of the UK economy was actually dependent on cheap foreign labour or something…#BrexitBritain #petrolpanic #welldoneBoris

Still a few days to go to apply for this fully funded PhD studentship!

[Catherine Preston @CEJpreston]

Just to remind everyone that there is still time (deadline 30th July) to apply for a funded PhD at @YorkPsychology with me, @bakerdh and @thisdrkmckenzie looking at how visual illusions can reduce pain. Please pass on, or get in touch with me directly if you are interested.

[Dr Julia Grace Patterson💙 @JujuliaGrace]

Right guys. The 2nd reading of the new Health and Care Bill in is 48 hours’ time, and it spells disaster for the NHS.

It will allow vast swathes of the NHS to be sold off. We need your help to make a LOT of noise over the next 48 hours. Watch this space 💙

Eating more or less in isolation? Why not take part in an online study into the influence of social isolation on eating and drinking, every 2 weeks? (University of Lincoln Ethics Ref: 2020-3458)

@backcastme @ExtinctionR You certainly can't grow carrots this way, but you can grow the leaves, which are also edible.
