As social secretary for the university's kickboxing club I'm organising a charity event for humanitarian aid in Ukraine to not feel as helpless, and I'm so grateful for people in the committee as well as others I know in Aberdeen who've been amazing in helping make it happen ♥️🇺🇦

Update: the event was absolutely amazing, we raised 650£ and I still can't believe it! So incredibly thankful to everyone who helped make it a reality. Слава Україні! 🌻

Watching the Eurovision Song Contest tonight? Fun new research by Daniel C. Richardson & colleagues covered by New Scientist which predicts the song winner based on its propensity to elicit physiological synchrony newscientist.com/article/232035…

I absolutely love Eurovision and am so, so happy they won!! The vote counting had me so stressed :D My definite favourites this year, same as Go_A last year 🇺🇦🏆

Nobody: Scientists: Well, it depends

Somehow I've also been lucky enough to be part of this project! It was incredible to work with such amazing researchers as part of the wonderful patient public involvement group. Big thank you and congratulations to everyone involved! 🎉

Tiešām ļoti vienkāršs process, pati biju pārsteigta, tā ka balsojam, balsojam

Thanks so much to our fantastic #ACHDS-PPIE-Group for another great session yesterday. In person for most of us over a coffee and cake! Great insights for ensuring we do the best research (1) ..‘be honest and upfront about the limitations of the data’...

Check out this fascinating paper published today by an amazing team of researchers! 📃🧠 So lucky to be even a small part in its creation!

So grateful to be working with the amazing people at Trial Forge who are doing some very important work on improving clinical trials!

Including older people in health and social care research: new recommendations based on the NIHR INCLUDE framework just published. Read more at trialforge.org/2023/06/includ…

If you are collecting ethnicity data in a trial, have a look at the recommendations from the INCLUDED project on how to do this well: trialforge.org/trial-forge-ce…

Quite so.

Fascinating research on trustworthiness perception of crowds by the amazing Fiammetta Marini !! Delighted to have had the opportunity to contribute!

Trustworthiness impressions occur not only on an individual level but also among groups of faces. This study shows that observers are able to extract ensemble judgments of trust from groups of faces as quickly as 250ms sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We've now got all the GRADE high, moderate and low intervention evidence from the Cochrane retention review on our site: trialforge.org/pathway/retent… Thanks to Bārbala Ostrovska for doing all this work!

Because of work done by Bārbala Ostrovska this summer, we have a lot more material on the Trial Forge website to help trialists design more inclusive trials: trialforge.org/trial-forge-ce… #inclusive

It's taken a while but the website now has the trial data collection material that Bārbala Ostrovska created this summer. This page still the old structure at present, so scroll down.. trialforge.org/pathway/data-c…

A new Trial Forge paper is out today: How should trial teams make decisions about the proportions and diversity of the ethnic groups in their trial? doi.org/10.1186/s13063… #inclusion
