A really wonderful piece on Professor Andy Tolmie - in the face of questions as to whether #devpsych contributes to the science of learning- his work resounds YES!

I know the #nhs in #NI is under unbelievable pressure, but this is a shout out to the phlebotomy clinic in ards. Phoned on Tuesday, appointment today- in and out in a record 3 MINS- even with a lovely caring chat. Well done!

Seems the pause in #REF is much more about the prioritisation of people and culture - and its measurement. I hope that the next announcement is not a retrograde step.

Heading home from an exceptionally busy BPS Developmental conference Royal Holloway - my first as chair of the section. Thanks to everyone who came along- especially all the #ECRs making their first conference presentation.

As a Haemochromatosis UK person I get my bloods done regularly. They check your DOB. Cue nurses and porter singing happy birthday- & I got a balloon! (My midwife sis says this is gen only for paediatrics- I’m clearly special). NHS you are wonderful.

For all of you #REF geeks out there- check this paper that we published in Cogent Psychology- we scraped all the outputs to UOA4 in 2021, used a LLM to generate themes, and predicted (really well) unit GPA. Interested to hear thoughts!
