More drama at the #hedgehog feeding and watering station. The road to hibernation is a challenging one.

A dramatic encounter at the #hedgehog feeding station last night.

Well, I installed a feeding and watering station for the local hogs and a wildlife camera to monitor activity. It would seem the local #Hedgehogs are enjoying it.

A rather relaxed and very enjoyable day on Cairngorm yesterday. Helped to burn off the single malt from the night before! #scotwinter

A leisurely, solo hike in the borders and a wild camp on Dollar Law. Just what I needed. 🌄🌌

Distressing experiences of death and dying in care homes during COVID-19 pandemic - Lancaster University Research led by Lancaster University has revealed that the exceptional circumstances early in the COVID-19 pandemic led to  distressing experiences of death and dying in care homes.

To iterate Nancy Preston, COVID-19 may not feel like a priority for many now, but the distress caused and its long term impact is something we need to understand.

In addition to the content, of which I am very proud, it feels like this is the first time I have found my own voice within academic writing .

It's almost time for Genetics Matters, an annual #RareDiseaseDay event at the Discovery Museum here in Newcastle

Meet scientists researching genetics 🧬 and learn about the science through hands-on activities.

Note it in your diary - 2nd of March.

Might be of interest to those who attended Hannah's presentation on this project at @nuqualsig.bsky.social #NUQualSIG2025 yesterday 😊

NUQualSIG annual symposium today and it was fantastic! Fascinating to hear about the creative qualitative research happening across Northeast England. And just lovely to indulge in a day talking about qualitative research. Thank you to my fellow organisers and the presenters 😊💐 See ya next year.

We are looking for ways to best support networking opportunities for our community. To support this work, we would like to learn more about existing opportunities and how networking needs can be met. We would be grateful if you could answer a few short Qs via this link:

A wee pre-Christmas get-together in the Cheviots this past weekend. We were soaked and thoroughly buffeted, but that just made relaxing by the fire at the hostel all that more enjoyable.

*hot water bottle I mean, obviously :)

Fabulous stuff. I love winter camping, especially the mornings (well, when it's like this anyway). I like to use my 500ml nalgene as a water bottle - still tepid in the mornings.

More muted pls. Feels more like what the eye first sees (if that makes sense) :)

What is the question; what reflects your experience of nature? Vs What would you ideally want nature to be?

This is incredibly sad for the staff and students, and also the wider community. I obtained my doctorate from Dundee, so there is a personal sense of sadness too.

Higher education in the UK is crumbling.

Another weekend away from the hills. Thinking back to a couple of years ago and a braw time in the Cairngorms #ScottishWinter #ScotWinter #hiking #Munros #Cairngorms

Very this!
