Just read Matt Smith's blog on a universal basic research income. I love the idea that academics could spend less time applying for money - with low odds of success - and more time doing, you know, research blog.royalhistsoc.org/2023/04/26/how…

Last chance to register for the Glasgow Uni Substance Use in the Contemporary World micro-credential, run by myself, @DrSGreenwood and @joycefeminista. To find out more go to: gla.ac.uk/study/microcre…. Funding available. #substanceuse #addiction #recovery

@DrJennie_Morgan @Sarah_May1 Yup.

@cerpintor They cancelled the Mercury Music awards tonight, so it's not looking good.

@mattpdawson But isn’t he just banging on about feelings and stuff?! (Spoiler: Genuinely excited to talk about this book with you when we go for lunch) x

@mattpdawson Skip ahead. All the rest is just 🥱

@mattpdawson When you read the bits about not pooing on the stairs and stuff I want you to remember the time Robert ended up having to give my L1 lecture for me and reading those quotes with a straight face

@mattpdawson Matt, when have I ever said to you, “I respect your reading choices”, or “that book looks good but has a little too much about bodies in it”? This book has fart jokes!

@mattpdawson I fully support this reading choice. About time you read something actually good!

@chellaquint @MsMenstruation It was a really fantastic thesis, a brilliant read. And lots of exciting publications in the pipeline too. Keep an eye on that @MsMenstruation - lots more to come@I suspect!

Woohoo! Watching my wonderful friend +menstrual activism+research contemporary @MsMenstruation presenting her dissertation! (Menstrual Dirt-you can read an open access pdf!) plus @AwfullySensible fab Ed. of my chapter in Down the Pan: New Directions in the Sociology of Dirt!❤️🩸

@DrSGreenwood @AnastaciaRyan Yep. Teaching with you and Anastasia was the highlight and yet another email over lunch the lowlight.

@DiegoMalara7 @lindsaybucklin I wish!

@lindsaybucklin @AwfullySensible is this your making?

@DrSGreenwood I loved those signs! x

@DrSGreenwood I suspects it’s intersectional, both fat phobia and misogyny (I just couldn’t get both points in the character limit!). The diss focused primarily on fat phobia and it was AWFUL. People were treated so badly. And in eg UK you can’t go find another, less judgemental doctor :(

@DrSGreenwood I just marked a super depressing dissertation analysing tweets by women on healthcare & fatness the conclusions of which were 1) medics treated fat women’s unplanned weigh loss as unproblematically good & 2) responded to everything else with ‘just lose weight’. Misogyny sucks.

Super excited to see our first ethnography paper out from our @The_MRC @WASH_NTDs project from @UVRIug @IBAHCM @WCIPGLASGOW. Congratulations @agnes_ssali @MLazaaro @NalwaddaEdith @AwfullySensible. Thanks @trienekens for feedback & maps @elimin8schisto journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic…

Super excited to be working on this substance use in the contemporary world microcredential with @DrSGreenwood and @joycefeminista!

THREAD/ As we reach the end of our project, here is a selection of some briefings we published about specific issues of concern affecting marginalised groups in Scotland’s lockdown. #LeftOutLockdown

@VvJota @fergus_mcneill @DrColinAtkinson @SusanABatchelor @sarahanderson26 @criminology You could try @QuirkosSoftware. Not quite open access but does awesome participatory analysis licences.
