Pleased to see this work published which I started while at Aberdeen. My first dabble with an outcome-wide design - would be interested to hear opinions...
Very pleased you've included her in your book!
So pleased to see others sharing appreciation of Lane-Claypon. I'd never heard of her until Uni of Lincoln named a building after her. Also worth noting she had to give up her job when she got married. And then was largely written out of history.
I have done work in pain epidemiology but I am not a philosopher, so probably no use to you. But it might be worth checking out the Philosophy SIG on the British Pain Society: www.britishpainsociety.org/philosophy-e...
Mmm. As a woman I feel I'd be even less rewarded for my thinking historically than I am now.
Still, the thinking is the reason I still do this job.
But also, I'm not sure I'd hire/promote someone whose application hinged on 'I thought hard a lot about things and want to do more thinking'.
The example is: if I was rewarded for all the thinking I do - sometimes about *really hard stuff* - I'm sure I'd be a Prof by now! 🤣
I wish my career trajectory reflected how much thinking (I think) I do.
Re-sharing my article again in the light of ever-increasing programmes of restructure and redundancy across the sector...

If you read the source article the 'international group of experts' are mainly arguing for an (insurance billable) diagnostic definition of obesity as a disease. The conflicts of interest statement is wild. I'll say no more.
Catchy
Can't decide if it makes me sad that we don't see this happen anymore
I feel like binge-eating fruit was a lot more of a thing in the past. I remember reading somewhere (a novel? letter?) about a woman eating a bag of apples in the bath. The ultimate historical indulgence.
If you would like to teach your students useful data skills, the entire PsyTeachR suite is available with a creative commons licence to reuse and adapt. We teach stats but our focus is on working with real data, wrangling, visualisation and reproducibility using R

This wins the R-versus-any-other-ware argument.
@richarddriley.bsky.social is the Santa of Statistics.
The stats and resources from literacytrust.org.uk/parents-and-... and www.plainenglish.co.uk might help?
Good to see you here. LinkedIn was no place for your humour.
Careful..

Every so often they invite the public to suggest names for new gritters. It's remarkable how much time you (I) can waste on thinking these up.
"even if data are quantitative and numerical, the ways in which they are analysed and, to a greater extent, the inferences made from this analysis, will vary depending on who the researcher is."
I LOVE this paper, which talks about reflexivity in quant, not qual, research

Imagine if you could do this as easily when people incorrectly cite your work in academia...
Not teaching in my current role, but yes, I have in the past. Mostly for historical context, sometimes taking more time to think through each point critically.
When working with clinicians I've found they've often heard of them already, so I feel placing in context is important.
Lessons from the pandemic really were short lived. That's twice recently I've been asked if I'm a skin doctor.
