At the NHS we’re teaching designers how to code with the NHS prototype kit, instead of using visual tools like Figma.

Find out why in the blog post below! 🎉

Glorious.

Also, researcher's hair is pleasingly nest like.

All I want to do is make some nice food while putting in zero love or care, and compromising significantly on the required ingredients. Is that really too much to ask?

That's skyfall

"Most digital transformations don’t start with turning analogue processes into digital ones.

The challenge now is taking 30 years of hybrid manual and digital processes and products and somehow trying to make them better." 💯

Some of the best user research findings are things that seem blindingly obvious once you find them out.

Also shout out farming today which my gran put on incredibly loud at 5:45 every morning, waking up all house guests, before herself falling back to sleep until at least 8:30.

Am I alone in my enthusiasm? Or is it just that recommending a radio programme makes you sound 100 years old?

Great lives, from our own correspondent, life scientific. Also one off series like the coming storm, is psychiatry working, influenced.

Add to playlist, makes me feel smart, plus they are just so bloody enthusiastic about music

More or Less, makes me feel smart, plus Tim Harford' voice is just very soothing.

Potentially deeply unfashionable but I still prefer radio 4 to podcasts. So many great programmes, so little effort to find them.

This is why I am convinced dehumidifiers are next year's air fryers. It is simply impossible for me to resist recommending them at *every* opportunity

Fun take on why Bluesky works and Threads failed

Me again! This time not really answering you question. Are you sure you need a recruitment agency? Usertesting.com can be used quite effectively as a recruitment tool, or even cheaper, have you thought about building your own panel?

This is exactly the content I was looking for from my twitter replacement. Wouldn't get this on linkedin would you?

£40 - £60, but context matters a lot (as always)!

I would say this, but I honestly think meeting some real people with a problem and then actually fixing that problem does this better than anything. I don't think that happens nearly as much as we like to imagine.

Baader-meinhoffing the Dunning-Kruger effect big time at the moment

Couples Therapy - Series 1: Episode 1 The four couples are introduced to therapist Dr. Orna Guralnik. DeSean is fed up with Elaine, Sarah wants a baby but Lauren isnt ready, and Evelyn and Alan make a painful decision.

Let out a small involuntary yelp of excitement on discovering there is a new series of couples therapy on iplayer: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0b8knbw

Fun question! Cafe in an area with very low foot fall, maybe one or two customers an hour max. Serving a very limited menu with stuff like beans on toast. Clientele mostly ordering tea over coffee.

I *really* hope they have the national lottery voiceover guy on this as well

If you're confused by why The Guardian doesn't seem to know how to cover the far right, lemme tell ya something I learned not long ago.

Quick tread below

Apparently this is a "kramblekruff" of sand 🤷🏻‍♂️

Francis Alÿs: Ricochets | Barbican A new immersive exhibition celebrating the universality and ingenuity of play: Ricochets is the largest institutional show in the UK by internationally renowned artist Francis Alÿs in almost 15 years.

Just went to the Francis Alys exhibition at the Barbican. It was so great. Open for one more week. www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/202...

This piece on registers is a great read if you've not come across it already medium.com/desiderium-s...

Licence fee payers of bluesky, Aftersun is on iplayer. Highly recommended to anyone who went on holiday in the 90s or 00s.

I think there is another version of this though which goes something like, "we want our users have to do this [very specific thing] to meet our organisational goal/policy intent" and then user research uncovers how and why that specific thing doesn't meet the goal at all.

Anyone else into combining the dregs of a pot of houmous with some yoghurt to make a dip? Honestly, it's surprisingly acceptable.

Let more things be boring and small 🙏🏻
