At @uob-ieu.bsky.social we have put together a checklist for researchers to consider at the start of setting up patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE). The aim is to help anticipate topics that might be upsetting to contributors and to plan for other needs. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

The academics who helped breathe new life into Notre-Dame Five years after a devastating fire, the Paris cathedral has finally reopened, with the help of a vast team of researchers

'When Notre-Dame reopened on 7 December, it was thanks, in part, to the efforts of 175 researchers with expertise across a range of disciplines: acoustics, art, data, history, archaeology, anthropology.' Example of why blue-skies research matters for 'real-life' problems we've not yet imagined. 1/2

7 Reasons Why Science Communication Skills Are Crucial for Researchers Hey there, researcher!

Here are 7 reasons why researchers should care about science communication skills👇🏻

#SciComm #PhD #research #science

Not spotted the viral just yet but it’s just been so lovely to find lost virtual friends.. I’m assuming this is what it must have felt like to have been lost at sea on a ship for years and years and to then take shaky steps on land spying familiar faces.. don’t even know whom to greet first!

Perhaps folks would like to see a work in progress I've undertaken with folks all across European Research Libraries. We're creating a set of gentle introductions for library professionals to Digital Scholarship and Data Science Essentials through Topic Guides. libereurope.github.io/ds-essentials/

🎓 We've made a starter pack of university policy institutes like us, and people who work for/are connected to them – do give it a follow!

We'll add to it as more institutes join, and let us know if there's anyone we should add! ⬇️

Wholly a guess - but is this looking south from Dalmeny?

Here’s some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky It’s not just an Alf pics repository.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.

Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.
