Great couple of days at #CSPARC25 some excellent debate and energising to hear so much passion for the profession. Here's Ellie supporting @acpivr.bsky.social motion re: including vestibular knowledge in undergraduate education. Pleased it's going to be considered further by @thecsp.bsky.social

Postural control can similarly suffer when conscious attention is directed toward it (“conscious movement proce...

Climate change: yes, your individual action does make a difference Global problems need global solutions. But what you do personally can shift what’s seen as ‘normal’.

1/2 Great research & article by @steveclimate.bsky.social
