No, Anna described Rex as “well-knit” 😊 #TheArchers

I listened twice and you've said it too so it must be true - did Anna really call Rex "well lit"?! Anna?!! A 57 year old barrister? #TheArchers

Glorious when a friend messages to wish you a happy Frank Mills day, and to remind you to get #Lemonheads tickets with them next month. Can't wait. Evan is always full of surprises...

Finally! My turn for #TheArchers Live at 75.

Reading a publication of a realist review: "...however, the technique for identifying and incorporating CMOCs into theory refinement is not clearly defined in the extant literature." Made me smile. No, it never is... 😜 #Realist #Research #Methods

We are truly living in the future.

Transmission to those around me: either use the title 'Dr' or put 'PhD' after your name. You do NOT do both. Over and out.

Reunion time! My old psychopharmacology research unit, plus some extras. Amazing to be part of a work team that were, and still are, like family. And yes, we were all obliged to have some Sentia! 🍹 #Research #Psychopharm #Psychopharmacology #Psychiatry

Unpopular opinion (!) but I think I can understand Tom's reaction. Yes, it could be that he has awful ownership/entitlement issues. However, I think he thought, that despite everything, he still had a special profound connection with Kirsty. He now knows Kirsty does not feel the same. 😬 #TheArchers

I tried. All the right words, but not necessarily in the right order.

I'm 100% with Keira about not wanting the limelight. It's not easy to avoid in my line of work and it means I'll never get promotion, but it's just not the way I'm made. I'm slightly disappointed she relented and agreed to it, but also it'll make a nice Grundy moment at the show. #TheArchers

A fantastic day as always at the @chcr-uwe.bsky.social showcase conference, if I say so myself. 😊 Yes, it's a lot of hard work to organise, but it's great to see all the presentations and posters, and hear all the excited chatting and networking. Thank you to everyone who supported us! #CHCR2026

It must be about time for Hugo Spritz to get a mention. #TheArchers

#IWD seems a good time to thank @nihr.bsky.social for the recent policy regarding sex and gender in health and care research. Recognising difference by disaggregating is important to make sure healthcare works for everyone. www.nihr.ac.uk/about-us/who...

I'm still slightly disconcerted by the new #NIHR website font. #ImportantResearchOpinions

New research finds that young girls are more readily associated with objects than young boys.

The last two eps (4 & 5) from the last @academicarchers.bsky.social conference are so interesting. Making #TheArchers sounds like a logistical nightmare - I'll be tempering my complaints in future! Hats off to all involved. academicarchers.buzzsprout.com

There's a journal out there with a lot of faith in me... I'm late with one review but they've still invited me to do another. ☺️ #DontStopBelievin

No Azra, you really shouldn't be telling her all that. 😱 #TheArchers

Astonishing. Just a thought, but perhaps publishers should pay peer reviewers for their time and expertise, rather than expecting free labour. I know, silly me. Or, maybe this never went near peer review. I spent hours recently reviewing a manuscript for Scientific Reports. Did I waste my time...?

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?! & more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward? www.nature.com/articles/s41...
