You spend months organising an engaging event, bringing together the brightest minds in academia. Once the closing remarks end, that incredible knowledge and energy leaves the room. I've come up with Conference Field Notes to help capture those conversations. www.andytattersall.com/conferencepo...

The latest Under Review podcast takes a honest look at redundancy and is a survival guide as to how you handle it should you face yourself in that situation. Listen and watch via the various podcast and video channels. www.andytattersall.com/under-review...

Had this idea in lockdown, half-built it, forgot about it, remembered it again, though might as well finish it.

Academics have a duty to defend open knowledge systems like Wikipedia. @lseimpactblog.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci... @richardnevell.bsky.social

We're launching a new @know-ph.bsky.social public health podcast that brings together voices and evidence from local government, academia and the charitable sector. The first episode drops next month and explores the important topic of modern slavery and human trafficking.

This.

Our @know-ph.bsky.social Deep Dive Coproduction workshop kits are a thing of beauty. Designed by the team, we use them as part of our coproduction workshops with local authority experts and I've made a very short video that gives you a sneak peek.

My latest piece for LSE Impact is a timely reminder, for academic social media quality is better than quantity. It's perhaps time to rethink your strategy and not just who you connect with, but where. blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci...

Honestly this advice changed my life. "Just say ‘I disagree’." You have do that, but you don't have to do more than that. Don’t make some elaborate argument, don't call the person scum, just make it clear that you don't think like that. And get your mates to chime in, too.

Pesky emails and meetings getting in the way? You just need to give yourself permission to duck out for 3 hours and join a community of fellow academics and PGRs. Join me for another episode of Write Club Radio - the coolest writing retreat on the planet. bit.ly/3TCXzsc #PhDChat #AcademicWriting

We've all been in these meetings more than once in our time... Sorry... More than once in a day

Anyone else getting Microsoft Word Paperclip flashbacks every time they write an email thanks to AI's grammatical suggestions on amphetamines? Thankfully you can turn them off, so normal service may resume and you can expect wonky emails from a human being.
