Being back at work is pretty brutal... a sunset walk helped. Changing light on the water, some geese, good clouds.

I bloody love #Birmingham! Great to see all the Ozzy tributes and just how vibrant the whole city feels. And still so very friendly 🥰

There is a lot of scarlet elf cup about at the moment. I love it, but its colour feels not very springlike 😅

Sam Oakley@drsamoak· Jan 16

The happiness I felt at seeing these first signs of spring was directly proportionate to the shittiness of the week. So it was immense 🤩 Getting outside is recommended...

Been reading about "Questionable Research Practices" - this paper made me ponder if these should be differentiated from "honest yet unacceptable" practices? And how we might improve "cultures of indifference and tolerance"... pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... #ResearchIntegrity #ResearchCulture

"In research workplaces, especially universities, some honest yet unacceptable research practices are superficially frowned on while others are tolerated or even encouraged as occupational realities. For example, while a student may be criticised by a supervisor for wrongly applying a fixed-effects model in a meta-analysis of complex health services interventions, other poor practices, such as lack of data sharing or failure to report negative findings,4 may be ignored due to perceived administrative demands on researchers. Finally, overhyping of results or salami slicing may even be incentivised and rewarded via the overesteeming volume of research output and impact for the researcher(s), team(s), department and organisation"

Resurrecting playlists from the early 21st century 😅 It still works! The Philips dock is the dodgy part here...

Restored some calm yesterday with an autumnal lunchtime walk. Too easy to get overwhelmed with the monster 'to do' list these days...

These days as we crawl towards midwinter...every year I forget how hard it is... Still beautiful out there, but hard...

In Dundee today for the Scottish #ResearchIntegrity network (SRIN) hearing about the work of UK CORI from @ralitsamadsen.bsky.social Always so useful to meet Scottish peers and get this kind of sector update!

Lunchtime walk was a much-needed break today 🌞

My son and his fabulous pals played their first gig tonight at Ivory Blacks in #Glasgow. They rocked it! 🤘🏻 And I was the proudest mother EVER 🥰 #Jackpot

Took this on campus yesterday... It feels like winter is arriving this week but I'm glad we're putting up a fight 😁
