Introducing Rib:bit! Our brand new wearable sensing badge for research. Made to be very versatile for many research projects. Documentation to come. Developed by @johnvidler.co.uk Watch us send emojis between badges!

Making some card decks as "research probes" to help people understand their digital footprint and how third parties use it. With the help of 2 doggos. Help with conceptualisation might get them authorship credits.

I've recently started a project to provide stable identifiers for 'artifacts' (mostly maker/research/hobby electronics) to help combat link rot and aid discoverability. It works much like DOIs for papers, but is based on an open index maintained on GitHub - see hwidx.org for details :)

We have three new UCREL ( @ucrelnlp.bsky.social ) Corpus Research Seminar (CRS) videos out today; these were recorded some time ago, but our editor (me!) and approvals to release took a little while :)

Excited to be part of this and super timely given the government announcement to introduce digital ids.

When you present at a non-psychology conference and you need to introduce the field. @prosquared.org Hope I did us proud.

Getting hands-on at day 2 of the Device Prototyping Summer School with a PCB surface mount assembly tutorial! Delegates worked with the 'solder:bit' developed by Lancaster Uni's Devices Lab, which will be used to control a BBC micro:bit #pro2summerschool2025 @microbit.org @lancasteruni.bsky.social

It’s not everyday you get to solder a games controller @prosquared.org plz don’t zoom into the LCDs 😂

Our panel session on ethical issues in Cyberpsychology with leading experts is under way, with crucial questions being tackled such as the use of content on social media, AI, and public versus private content for data collection #cyber25

When should we have discussions about ethics during the research process ? Looking forward to presenting the DECIDE framework today at #Cyber25 @bpscyberpsychology.bsky.social
