New article on participating in assisted dying: showing intended participation before it was available did not always lead to actual participation 1 year later. Find out the reasons why: @HealthLawQUT @BenPWhite @WillmottLindy tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Horrific to see the humanities and social sciences panels being disbanded. A dark day for many and a remarkably short sighted decision. Impact should not be measured just from core science beehive.govt.nz/release/mars…

Trying to be on here less and use LinkedIn for research updates. We'll see how it goes before I join another time sink platform because #limbicplatformcapitalism is everywhere
