Dr Michelle Phillips

Thanks for inviting us on this morning @BBCBreakfast to discuss the important role of music in our lives. The interview & film of @sim_manchester ‘Turn it up’ exhibition (@OwainWynEvans, Steven Leech & me) are here (2 hours 44) bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod… @MancCamerata @AminaFlute

Money should not be the only #KEF metric: England’s Knowledge Exchange Framework unfairly marks down an arts cluster whose impact is not directly reflected in cash, says @rncmlive’s @___Michelle____ bit.ly/3NOJu4g

🎵 Why do humans need music? 🎵 Music is a vital part of our lives, helping us connect, express emotions, and even manage mental health. We loved this article by @___Michelle____ on why music is so essential to our well-being 👉 whyhumansneedmusic.com

It’s time the Knowledge Exchange Framework gave credit where credit is due and admitted that art is doing its part, says Dr Michelle Phillips of the Royal Northern College of Music @___Michelle____ @rncmlive buff.ly/3AqSysT

@sibelian62 Wikipedia has some data here, which states it was updated 8 days ago: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_s… No Bluesky on there unfortunately…(yet?!)

@___Michelle____ Thanks, Michelle. I feel part of the problem is people leaving are being spread over 3 platforms so reaching the same people becomes difficult. Bluesky stated the UK had most signups of any country in 5 of last 7 days if that helps. Be good to have data on UK users on all sites.

I’m trying other social media platforms, and have joined #Threads and #Bluesky so far (plus #Instagram). Let me know if you’re on those and what your username is so that we can connect there! Any other recommendations?

Great, thanks, got you both on Bluesky John and Patrick!

@sibelian62 That’s really useful, thanks Patrick, and good point re making sure that X has some positivity. I’m sad to be trying other options, I’ve really enjoyed X over the years (and interacting with you and others!). Hopefully one of the other platforms will prove just as stimulating!

@___Michelle____ I'm staying on "X" for now so it retains some positive content. I have also joined Bluesky, as a reserve using @sibelian62.bsky.social. Friends are trying the other platforms but no one I know has yet decided which is the best alternative. Hope that helps.

Western University can take Marie Cure postdocs! I have a position in my Neuromusic lab (jessicagrahn.com) and I know others at the Centre for Brain and Mind would likely also post positions if contacted (uwo.ca/bmi). Get in touch! #MSCA @ESCOMsociety @FENSorg

@DanaSwarbrick @DanishQuartet @Music_Science_J @jokavuos @UniOslo_RITMO Congratulations! 🥳

. @DanishQuartet audience feels more absorbed during a live than livestreamed concert + embodied responses reflect absorption differently depending on social & musical features. New #musicscience published @Music_Science_J with Martin, Høffding, Nielsen @jokavuos @UniOslo_RITMO

New report by Uni of Warwick & the Campaign for the Arts pressure group: “In a summary of this growing academic deficit, the report claims: “Arts education faces critical challenges, from unequal opportunities in early years to course closures in universities nationwide.””

Wow! This is fascinating, and beautiful! Thanks @niceaunties, looking forward to exploring more!
