Who's that on the list, us? Yes, we're heading to the one and only Dublin Maker this August. Join us for some mending and all the other maker fun 😁

Today’s reading, Situated Learning by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger. I believe this is where the term, Communities of Practice came from

That’s amazing news. Congratulations 🙌

I regularly think about your post and lip scrub

@clarewilk4.bsky.social I was just checking the reading list for the @scicommsuwe.bsky.social CPD course "Creative Science Communication and Public Engagement" and I couldn't help but notice your publishing date!

Future reading indeed! Congratulations to you & Emma Weitkamp on the 2nd edition

I had that with one book, Earth Lord by Michael Scott. Not sure wheee I picked it up but I remember searching my local library for years trying to find the rest. I think I got won the 2nd book and I was obsessed trying to find the rest

Just looked this up and yes, this is me 😬

I got to combine two of my favourite things - The X-Files and research - by chatting with @memorieschild.bsky.social about her work and scholarship in fan studies for the latest episode of Hey Danny, It's Mulder.

No! How mad.

This is the cat post I was referring to

Of course I’m not confusing you! He’s over on Mastadon

I was just about to say hello stranger, long time no see when I got intrigued by your cat post 😂

How’s things?

It’s the end of Science Week here in Ireland, and something positive I’ve noticed is that more organisers every year are including accessibility as an operational cost in their event budget. Still a lot of work to do, but it’s an important step in the right direction.

They cover a broad range such as culture, society, identity, impact, ethics, philosophy, equality, equity, inclusion / exclusion, disability, media, EDI, racism, LGBTQIA+, religion, social science, sociology, literacy, fraud, museum & silence studies @researchireland.bsky.social #ScienceWeek
