@SMottershaw @ZJAyres Same experience here. Even after staff at one hospital couldn't remove it and I was sent to another hospital - just offered a hand holder. Poor nurse, not sure she had much of a hand left!

Incredible story, an anonymous, unfounded tip off claiming @SwailesRuth had been 'unkind' to non statutory EYFS guidance led to them being blacklisted from conferences. Hope there's no one at the DfE reading my tweets about the #RSE guidance then 😬

We are building a living Repository of Early Career Researcher Peer Reviewers to encourage involvement of ECRs in journal peer review. In this phase, we are focusing on EDUCATION and APPLIED LINGUISTICS. Please disseminate this Google Form widely: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Student MEQs out today, always make me feel a bit nervous. Actually cried (but in a good way), reading comments about how module helped students. Brilliant students, brilliant teaching team @StaddonRachel @emaslin94 & thanks to all @DUSofE staff who volunteered as guest speakers

The results of a Campbell systematic review led by our own Dr @aineaventin & Prof Maria Lohan on involving men & boys in family planning are now available on our website. Check them out here: qub.ac.uk/sites/involve-… #SRHR #Family Planning @INVOLVE_FP @qubSONM @CEDILProgramme

Check this piece on #RSE & the need to put politics aside. Thanks @gabyhinsliff @guardian for citing our Young People's RSE Poll. We agree that RSE needs trained specialists, & children and young people pay the price when we get it wrong. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

And so the cycle continues. Teaching on top of my full time job is exhausting, but elation at positive feedback from students encourages application for more teaching which is exhausting... ad infinitum

Maybe the photo requesting students are univetsity plants to trick me into agreeing to more teaching next year?

Every year I swear I'm not going to work into the early hours prepping lecture materials. Every year I do. Final lecture w. 1st yrs today, finished with applause & photo requests 🙈 Now I'm all mushy thinking see it's all worth it! Teaching is my vocation 🥰.. or addiction? 🤔
