What a perfect night for cricket

Supporting students in their professional and personal development will become a “primary focus” of higher education in the years ahead as artificial intelligence changes the university model, according to the next chair of the OfS. @patrickjack.bsky.social reports #AcademicSky #EduSky

For the latest episode of @sheffielduni.bsky.social Communicable Research podcast I spoke to Matt Franklin, Joshua Buckman and Rob Saunders to discuss the use of real-world evidence for mental health interventions. Listen on the @unishefplayer.bsky.social player.sheffield.ac.uk/events/realw... 1/2

Call for proposals for #OpenFest25 closes this Friday! Details below:

This looks like a really useful conference hosted by @britishacademy.bsky.social next month. The Ethics of Health Communication Tue 24 - Wed 25 Jun 2025 www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/events/briti...

Well, that's a wrap. As of September I will be leaving the University of Sheffield after a 27 year relationship to start out on my own - or at least give it a go. Lot's of work still to do here before I go, but if anyone is interested in working with me from the Autumn onwards, get in touch.

Got any enquiries?

If you are interested in working with communities to mobilise health evidence and knowledge, then please sign up for our next @know-ph.bsky.social webinar next week. www.eventbrite.com/e/working-wi...

I saw this ad last night and there are so many layers of wrong, but the thing my brain is really stuck on is: the sugar is just lying on the surface of the sauce? Just scoop it out! You could have done that in the time it took you to ask AI for its baffling advice!

Always sad to see a useful little curation tool go to the great Web in the sky.

This needs repeating indefinitely

WOW - how do these people lie straight in bed at night? IEEE is charging a 'Repository License Fee' (or should that be 'FEEE'?) "The RLF price is $1,275 for periodical articles and $400 for conference articles and is applicable only to AMs and not to VORs." bibliotheek.ehb.be:2580/repository-l...

That is one banger of a title:

"It should be completely normal to ask, 'so how did you actually get this amazing data anyway?'" says @stuartbuck.bsky.social

The garden project is coming on. Perhaps this will be my next career?
