Addie - inky, pinky, thinky 😉

I heard someone say "dead wood is dead good" and it really stuck with me as being true

#ResearchAdvent Day 2: Values and ethics.

Openness. Positivity. Nothing about me, without me. Helping others. Sharing knowledge. Do good.

#ResearchAdvent Day 1: About me.

Hiya. I'm Addie, 2nd year PhD candidate at Uni of Salford. My interests are positive mental health & wellbeing, music for emotion regulation, hearing loss. I'm also interested in stakeholder/PPIE involvement and open research.

One of my favourite "slow news day" articles I've ever read!! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Oh wow!! Did you hear about the slug that was caught playing "knock-a-door-runaway"?

The image shows a close up of window 1 from a traditional (picture only) advent calendar. In the.window's picture can be seen some sheep in the snow. This is way better than chocolate!

Sheep!

Microphones Do I really need a microphone?

Yes! You might think you have a booming voice, but It's not about you & folks at the back may be struggling with the echo, or the hum of the air con, or using a hearing aid & induction loop.

If its provided, use the mic.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Raked not ranked lol! I've also topped up the bird feeders and filled two wheelie bins for the council's compost!

First nice weekend day in a while so I've been in the garden for the last 5 hours - I've ranked, hoed, weeded, pruned, planted poppies and daffodils, and generally given it a good tidy up. Now having a beer and contemplating a bath - what a way to end the weekend!

Can I be cheeky and say "yes please"?

Excellent choice

Very happy to pay full price for Forton Service Christmas cards - they've just arrived today and they're magnificent!!

I've had an Old Fashioned and now I'm feeling a little better... 🥃

I'm so tired #phdlife

The image shows a hand holding the most recent edition of The Psychologist magazine with its all black, night themed cover. In the background can be seen previous editions of the magazine as well as the Psychology of Music journal, a box for a 3d model of the ear, and a dragon plant.

Here's my copy of the Night Edition brining some much needed blackness to my desk!

That's an impressive costume!!
