The NHS issued a "flu jab SOS" earlier this month over fears that many will get sick this winter. “Vaccination is reducing the risk of severe disease following influenza infection at the moment,” says Prof John Tregoning (@DrTregoning) in @TheSun.👇 thesun.co.uk/health/3739379…

@aliciaandrz You are definitely worth hopefully you will be on the way up again soon.I look forward to your posts and often cheer me up when I am down

I’m going to be hospitalized Monday unless things improve, & I say this publicly to reduce stigma around suicide. but part of me also wants my estranged siblings to reach out & tell me they care—& wants everyone who loves me to tell me they care. am I a guest worthy to be here?

@MikScarlet Can you please show us some of the problems with design I find some wet rooms are good and others problematic so always good to see different options

Well after a couple of months with a wetroom I can officially say I've fallen out of love with it. Just not easy or safe for a paraplegic. A concept of what works by a non-disabled person. I know some of my issues are in the design of my wetroom but many are just intrinsic.

@sarasiobhan What are the mushrooms?

Peak shrooms and Autumn colours.

So proud of my wife, Nataliia! From Ukraine to the Bake Off tent - speaking English as her third language and never letting her stammer hold her back. Her swan tart was a true swan song - graceful, heartfelt, & beautiful. You made your family and Ukraine proud 💙💛 #GBBO #BakeOff

Most PhD students fail at research questions. (I used to be one of them) See, back when I started my research journey, I thought coming up with research questions was luck. Just throw something at the wall and hope it sticks. Wrong. After helping 100s of students with their research, I've discovered a secret 4-step question formula: 1. Start with scope Don't jump straight to questions. First, outline your broad area in 1-2 sentences. Example: "Virtual reality user interactions" This gives you boundaries to work within. 2. Identify the gap & problem What specific problem needs solving? Make it obvious. Example: "VR motion sickness during extended use" • Look for contradictions in existing studies • Spot practical problems without solutions • Find areas with limited research 3. Justify your research This is where 90% mess up! Ask yourself: • What's missing in current research? • Why does this need investigation? • How will this add value? Without solid justification, R2 kills your question. 4. Write down your questions Start broad, then get specific: 1. Write down every possible question 2. Pick out your main research question 3. Add supporting questions that help answer it It's logical. It's connecting. It's a kind of magic. I've used this exact formula to get published. Top journals. Top conferences. Top students. Bye, bye, random ideas. Hello, research systems.
