The inaugural lecture of someone you really like is a pleasure; I'm rather in awe of Professor Pam Alldred's lifetime of achievements and authenticity (including the stripey tights). "A good girl never goes anywhere without her politics" - Yass! Congrats! @AllPam @ntu_research

Reading this social psychology take on the weekend's events helped me... I was heartened to see the quick off the mark anti-fascist response. Sheffield in particular. @ProfJohnDrury 's blog explains why that response matters so much.

Yesterday I graduated my PhD. Wonderfully, it was in NTU's new gender neutral hood (no longer made to attach to shirt buttons/tie), designed by an NTU student of fashion: Georgia Stevenson, and using recycled plastic too. bit.ly/4f7CMD4 #ntupsychology

@theAliceRoberts So he'd only *not charge* for the courses with the most expensive infrastructure? Spoken like a person with zero understanding of university delivery.

I’m sorry, WHAAATT?! How dare this man tell us what subjects he thinks are valuable. Thing One: the creative industries are HUGE in the UK. Thing Two: we are HUMANS; not drones; not cogs in your machine.

@DrMaryKeeling @USC_MVP It was fascinating to hear your work. The bridging identities you mentioned make sense in coping responses to traumatic injury too.... and the concurrent impact on family identity change.

@GMclocklin 's developing @gihntu research into non-consensual sharing of nude and sexual images today at #icsih6 highlighted how much impact media portrayal has on survivors' intention to report.

In another great presentation, @GMclocklin talks about the causes of intergroup conflict between police and victim-survivors of image-based sexual abuse. @psychologyNTU #ICSIH6

Already loving @ICSIH6 : I'm in joyful student mode again, learning about applying biometric measures of allostatic load in social identity research. Thank you @EadaoinWhelan3 @grace_mc7 for content and @PsychologyNTU for sending me.

Being a trauma psychologist today meant taking a "break" from marking to attend a brilliant lecture on wartime (WWII) sexual slavery or "comfort women" by Dr Sachiyo Tsukamoto. Thank you @ntu_research ...the colleague conversations after made my week.

What a wonderful idea! I 💜 this collaboration. With cost of living, getting workplace-ready is even more challenging for our students than it ever was. This is a triple-winner: sustainability; employability; fairness to students from less affluent backgrounds.

It was fantastic to launch the Professional Student Wardrobe, in partnership with @WhiteRoseShop, at our City Campus this week 👗👔 It provides NTU students and graduates with free, professional clothing for career related activities 👏 Find out more 👉 bit.ly/3SWmgNa

Since my diagnosis 2 weeks a go I have learnt even more deeply that: 1. My kids are more phenomenal than I ever could have known or hoped for (yes, even more!) 2. People show love in many different ways 3. Intense 24 hr physical pain requires an inward journey like no other 4. We are so much more vulnerable than we can ever fully realise 5. We are so much stronger than we can ever fully realise 6. It's vital that we are met relationally when we use services because it creates an emotional calmness that reduces physical pain. They dance together 7. We don't talk about the humanness of illness enough 8. Illness can be a friend, a teacher and an ally #Gratitude #livingwithcancer #MYELOMA #livingwithmyeloma
