Love this example of learning through doing :)

Lucy I share that worry too and funding widespread dissemination beyond journals is key to narrowing the evidence - practice gap

Trying to bring science to TikTok. Inspired by youth voices + a few great academics. @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social @amymccall.bsky.social in particular.

Interested in how I’m including imp sci considerations? Here’s an example where I used the CFIR model to help us structure our thinking about context etc as an output from what yp told us to think more about during formative qual research bmcpsychology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Highly recommend @deciphercentre.bsky.social training and big thanks to @drlucymaddox.bsky.social for recommending it to me initially!

How do we bridge the gap between research-practice in public health? In my @nihr.bsky.social fellowship, I attended training @deciphercentre.bsky.social @grahammoore.bsky.social et al. I’ve since been thinking much more about context and using logic models more fluidly as to🛠️ to structure this

Personally I’d vote Bluesky. And LinkedIn also seems to have more of a social media element now.
