I am nerv-cited to be presenting this poem tomorrow at the BERA Early Career Researcher Network conference! 👻💪

Had a wonderful time at the BERA Early Career Researcher Network conference, getting to hang out with Dr Emily Oxley who gave a fantastic keynote 🤩 I presented a poem on the ups & downs of the 1st year of my fellowship and distributed #mentalHealth handouts, both available @ osf.io/9kcwv ⭐️

Great Idea for Poster presentation...!!! Via Caroline O'Donnell/O'Flaherty Lab (Linkedin) #scicomm #scienceoutreach #sciencetalk #scienceposter

Looking forward to reading my fellowship reflection poem tomorrow and linking to some mental health resources for ECRs osf.io/9kcwv

If you're finding your #research or #writing hard this doesn't mean you are stupid. It could just be that it's hard. In fact it is hard. So hang in there. #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc #gradschool #PhDforum

False positive and false negative are lovely, self-explanatory terms. I see no reason for anyone to ever say Type 1 and Type 2 error when strictly better alternatives are available. And I refuse to look up which is which.

This week I shared my #research fellowship reflections #poem at an event for early career researchers. Core message: It's not just you and things will get better Full 4.5 min recording, written poem & #mentalHealth resources @ osf.io/9kcwv/ #AcademicChatter #ECRchat

It's a good job I don't wear heels ⌨️ They even have a carriage return 😭

#TurboTyping was back at @EurekaMuseum last week! 🎉 We showcased our typing mini-games during the 'Let's Get Digital' #HomeEducator Days, discussing our research and the benefits of #TouchTyping for young learners ⌨️ Check out our TikTok debut! 📱✨ #TypingSkills #SciComm

Thanks to The Leverhulme Trust, especially AH, for the warm, positive, and personalised responses to my updates. It really helps normalise the challenges we face as researchers and people. Not every funder feels safe to be open with, but Leverhulme does. #ResearchCulture #GreenFlag

a truth for writers by Sean Thomas Dougherty:

Rebecca Leek Ruth Swailes Dr. Aaron Bradbury Froebel Trust Ian Cushing I actually despair. Play - the bedrock of discovery, debate, compromise; the physical gym of proprioception; the melting pot of creativity; the foundation of learning. The springboard of life.

“…we fear that without a more compassionate shift in how researchers engage in critique of each other's work, academic progress may suffer, with marginalised scholars being pushed further out of the discipline”

An antidote for: If you've got too many people coming to your door, saying, "A quick stats question; it'll only take a minute" ...

Me today. We know that numbers and capitals are slower to type than lowercase, but who actually SAID it? 🔍🤦‍♀️

Excited to be invited to the University of Leeds Research Impact & Engagement Awards for my #TurboTyping project for 'Emerging Societal Impact'! Highlights: 🔍 Feedback from pupils 👩‍🏫 Co-design with educators 🎮 Gamified research on typing learning #MotorSkills #DigitalLiteracy

🚨 New #preprint: The #TypabilityIndex is here! 🚨 The Typability Index explained 72–87% of typing difficulty variance across datasets and allows users to score new texts & create grouped text sets. Read here: osf.io/preprints/psya… Try the web app: emily-a-williams.shinyapps.io/the-typability…
