@ajordannafa It’s the paradox of “novelty” within confirmatory research methods that baffles me. Exploratory research needs to be proud on being exploratory; instead of the current weird mix of exploratory dressing up as conformity.

@MorrisCraig_ @CarlWoods25 Congratulations @MorrisCraig_ , looking forwards to giving it a read

Feeling so grateful for the reception this paper has received meaning it has now been formally published. Please keep your stories of how it connects coming as they inspire and motivate us to wander further together 🤝 ⁦@CarlWoods25⁩, Keith Davids 🙏 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

For any social science and humanities researchers wanting to upskill and expand their analysis toolbox, this is a great opportunity

Great to see retired athlete support being promoted. If you are a retired athlete, and want to discuss your own experiences for research with the University of Edinburgh, please follow this link: edinburgh.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5i…

Helping to promote the support available to athletes leaving funded programmes, BEAA CEO Anna Watkins shared her own story with @pasport 🗣️ "You don’t have to do this on your own," she tells today's generation 🤝 #BEAAWithYou | @uk_sport | @UKSportsInst bit.ly/44acSJu

For any retired athletes that want to discuss their experiences for research, we are still recruiting participants for interviews: edinburgh.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5i…

@uk_sport @UKSportsInst @GBEliteAthletes For any former athletes that wish to discuss their mental health experiences of retiring for research, we are currently recruiting for a PhD study with the University of Edinburgh: edinburgh.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5i…

We know that change can be tough. That's why we're joining together with @UKSportsInst and @GBEliteAthletes to raise awareness of the support available to funded athletes thinking about their next steps. Read more: bit.ly/3UbYPic #AthleteSupport

@cat_gaglianone Not at all a textbook, but I find Stack Exchange to be a great source of discussion about the use of statistics in research methods (the best posts will include references to the articles/textbooks used to inform their rationale).

Hi #phdlife I am at that stage where I am preparing for my VIVA. Do you have any recommendations for any good statistics book? Apart from Andy Field? Or any book that you think would be good for a Psychology VIVA ?

@LSEImpactBlog As a follow up - is it ethical to use AI if you can’t tell whether or not the AI itself is plagiarising the work of others?

Is it ethical to use generative AI if you can’t tell whether it is right or wrong? #HigherEducation wp.me/p4m9em-cUM

@TheStrugglingS4 Honestly, I think we need to be comfortable in publishing exploratory research; and justifying its value in providing scope for novelty. The current system demands the oxymoron of publishing confirmatory yet novel research… bad practice is the main way around it.

I'm sorry but there is still something wrong with the peer review system 😅

@AcademicChatter Self-funding a PhD,and living off tutoring wages, whilst trying to be productive… is soul crushing.

Paying PhD students would go some way to improving their mental health.

@kim_woods_95 @TomJenkinspix Brave and powerful piece that definitely highlights the complexities of mental health in elite sport. Thank you @kim_woods_95 for sharing

theguardian.com/sport/2024/mar… Grateful to be able to have the opportunity to share my story in hope in helping someone else 🫶🏻 Greats shots by @TomJenkinspix and write up by Donald McRae Thank you ☺️

@wellcometrust @EdinUniMentalH @ClimateCares @SamridhaR looks exciting for your work 🤓

Climate change is a threat to global health, including mental health. Research in this area is increasing but it lacks focus. That’s why we’re funding Connecting Climate Minds (@ClimateCares) to help create a shared vision for the field. Find out more 💡 wellc.me/48mkwRC
