Oh yeah!! Excited to be on my way to the @ukcreativity researchers conference 2024 - looking forward to seeing old friends and making some new ones! #UKCR #creativity #innovation #research

The destruction of Earth is much like disassembling a car no one bothered to learn how to drive, and quickly selling off its parts to make a meagre profit. The biggest cognitive failure of human civilisation was seeing Earth as a collection of resources, raw materials and “parts” - when in fact, these elements were the blood, flesh and bones of a once fully functioning, living planet. #ecology #philosophy #economics #capitalism #anthropology

New paper in Creativity Research Journal finds creativity anxiety can hinder idea generation under pressure. People high in creative anxiety produced less original ideas, especially when prompted to be creative. doi.org/10.1080/104004…

How to create a culture for innovation - in a financial crisis? A workshop with CEOs & Directors of local govt with @LGAcomms Solace and @WMEmployers Most of how we need to BE and the things we need to DO are simple and inexpensive. Good job really when budgets are tight.

A big part of our @MSD_MMU is bringing the voice of sporting directors into the room… Delighted to have @ManMetUni alumnus @thelwell_kevin of @Everton join us again to share his authentic insights into the role and responsibilities of a #SportingDirector 🙌🙌🙌

Honoured to be able to contribute to this event. Supporting local governments is one of the most rewarding things I do… a chance to work with organisations that touch our everyday lives in so many ways 🫡

Good times at last night’s FA Cup tie for @Rovers v @NUFC - passionate crowd, end to end stuff and a nervy penalty shoot out to boot!

Helping the next crop of fashion designers learn creativity and innovation tools at the @McrFashionInst - thank for having me back again 🫶

What the actual f*ck are you talking about?? If you want to learn about learning… maybe study models and theories of… you know… how humans actually learn? Talk to educators perhaps? Of course not, a cursory case study of n=3 mega billionaires is a far better approach 🤯

Yes, I’m asking a lot of questions about that survey you are putting together. But if you want quality data to work with, you need a quality survey. #SurveyResearch #OHPsych #IOPsych #iopsychmemes #psychology #psychologymemes #psychmemes #APpsych (rerun)

I have to show this. This is Liverpool Lime Street Station. Have a look and then squint your eyes and look again.

Had a blast on the @MSD_MMU this week with cohort 9. Exploring the psychology of change and innovation. Hugely grateful to @sethrey1471, @TheCricketGeek & @MarkJChilton for awesome expert insights on purpose driven business, launching new products and driving Hi Po culture

Our new paper shows "control-default" brain hubs play a key role in creative thinking by integrating diverse cognitive processes. These hubs connect regions serving very different functions, enabling the cognitive diversity important for creative thinking doi.org/10.1093/cercor…

Come on @MidlandMCR… why do I not get to eat properly because I’m gluten free? No pastry on arrival, virtually no choices for lunch… paid the same rate as everyone else but left hungry and with little choice

A very comprehensive analysis of brain-behavior correlations (n=40,000), with a clickable brain atlas to see which regions correlate with many different traits and diseases: fmriatlas.org
