Liis Cotter and I recently ran a randomised coffee trial for staff in the Mercy and St. Michael's unit, here in Cork. I’m happy to see our poster featured at MUH's Clinical Audit and Quality Improvement Day, now published on CORA. Take a look - cora.ucc.ie/items/b171c8....

We look forward to welcoming early career scholars of francophone postcolonial studies to our campus in June! Make sure to send in your abstracts!

What I should have added in this piece is that even if all of this stopped right now, that doesn't pardon any past offences already committed. Criminal prohibitions of sexual abuse and expolitation are partly aimed at deterrence - and this only works if they are enforced.

I co-wrote an article that just came out! 📜
