The pandemic preparedness programme at NIAD is to be cut in yet another inexplicable decision by Bhattacharya. Without the research that was done by institutes such as the NIAD that was already looking at coronaviruses we would not have had such speedy vaccine development 🧪🧵 #HealthPolicy
So did I!
@penarthkate.bsky.social we’ve also been up to similar here in Manchester: e.g. doi.org/10.6084/m9.f.... Very happy to chat if useful.

You can do this right now:
Think of a person who wrote a paper you love, whose work influenced or helped you, or has made your professional life better.
Search up their email address. Shoot them a quick email of thanks. It means so, so much. This is a rough time of year, share some joy.
Response from the APA:

Academic authors, here's a peek into the black box of journal publishing from an journal editor if you can bear it:
With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.
* “remember” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. It’s one of those “do I remember this or did I imagine it?” things…!
Oh wow! I remember* someone asking me this when I was a child doing such a drawing, and I responded with “that’s the air” when asked about the gap between the ground and the sky.
I’ve also thought about this quite often since!
Argh. Oh no.
Where’s the “do not like”, button?!
I also default to “folks”!
Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

This sounds like a very exciting packing list!
Really looking forward to getting cracking tomorrow!
FINALLY got around to reading “Unlocked” by the wonderful @peteetchells.bsky.social. A down-to-Earth, thoughtful, and evidence-based read on all-things-screen-time. Well done Pete!
(Psssttt… everyone… it’s 99p on Kindle right now…)

LOVING that coat 😍
A very plain brown-paper spiral-bound notebook, covered in brightly coloured alien-stickers
Just a *tad* older than 27 here, and this is my current work-notebook.
Oooof. Honestly… I don’t think I have the courage needed to watch it at the moment. Well done you!

A3. I’m very lucky to supervise psychology students’ empirical projects, and my students are interested in T&L questions. I discuss my approach to teaching - and how it’s informed by this research - in my own practice. Which then means students are more interested… and the cycle continues (so far!)
Yes! - We build (some of) it in to the Y1 “Introduction to Cognition” module for our UG Psychology, and its examinable material.
A1. They’re the skills that help learners engage with their learning; both the subject-matter and broader skills development. It gets quite meta, and needs to be tailored to where the learner is in their learning and what success looks like to them (while also being evidence-based!) #LTHEchat
Oh no… I’m sorry. Migraines are awful. Hope it passes soon and the migraine-hangover does one.
Welcome back to academia!
Ohhhhhhhh! How exciting!
