So glad that @KatePahl and my article is finally out in Linguistics and Education. Its open access. Exploring the challenges of analysing co-produced data, and considering the lived and embodied reality of linguistic prescriptivism. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

I NEED EVERY SINGLE UCU MEMBER TO RT THIS
This is the biggest week in our history
Every single university takes strike action on Thursday and Friday
This week the balance of power shifts. 70,000 UCU members Vs 150 Vice Chancellors
Let’s leave nothing behind

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER TO RETWEET THIS
We are hearing that Vice Chancellors are asking UCU members if they plan to take strike action next week.
They have no right to do this and you do not have to answer them.
They are hitting the panic button. Stand strong.

So important to see such tangible examples of the importance of play. To see how designing play into health care & medtech is an attempt to put 'being human' at the centre of 'being a patient' & can drastically change the texture of terrifying or traumatic healthcare situations

That’s a wrap! The MRI playkit has launched. Thanks everyone who came today! @dubit @TITCHinnovate @SheffChildrens

Also I have an @OperationOuch obsessed 4-year old, so was in her good books when I brought home the MRI play kit she had seen on the show. She has been studiously scanning all her toys and taking a trip round @SheffChildrens in VR @dylanyamadarice

Alongside this promotion tweet, I also want to say it was rejected, redrafted, abandoned, and rewritten multiple times over a number of years. Scrolling on twitter always makes it seem like people have magically produced an article that moment😆

Looking forward to getting my hands on this. Was lucky enough to get to write a section in here about research as ‘artifice’, amidst other explorations of the realities of research collaboration
