Nothing like seeing Lindisfarne from the train on a sunny day! If only the train was moving… Hopefully we get skates on, and I’m not late for the @wellcometrust.bsky.social regional meeting bringing colleagues working on their funded #ResearchCulture projects together - looking forward to it!

Thanks to colleagues from @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social and @ucddublin.bsky.social for inviting me to talk about the work that the #ResearchCulture team at @newcastleuni.bsky.social have been doing to evaluate and track change in culture. Great talks and lots to reflect on! #REF2029PCE

At @advancehe.bsky.social #EDIConf2025 listening to Prof Nicola Rollock, author of #TheRacialCode delivering a provocation about whether we view the current geopolitical challenges around #EDI as an oddity, or part of a continuation of injustice and oppression that continues to operate? #ThankYou

Connecting with #ResearchCulture colleagues and #EDI champions from across BBSRC Institutes (and beyond) at their first Research Culture Conference hosted at @earlhaminst.bsky.social. Learning lots, and feeling inspired to get going again on this platform and make more connections myself!

Coffee break in our discipline-specific #ResearchIntegrity training to researchers in our Biosciences Institute by colleagues from @babrahaminst.bsky.social emerging from a @ukri.org BBSRC-funded CONNECT project. Great to be #WorkingTogether and #LearningTogether to build #ResearchCulture.

Yay! In our #ResearchRetreat today and tomorrow. No meetings. Away from the office. A time to think, research and write with a group of great colleagues. And a chocolate bear if I reach my goal for the day… #ReleasingQualityTime

Sometimes, you need to slow down in order to speed up. It can be difficult to know exactly when, but I’m learning that when something’s not feeling quite right, it’s better to stop and discuss with people, find a shared sense of purpose, and move on more energised. #MyLifeInPostIts #AlwaysLearning

New book just out and looks like it’s going to be an interesting holiday read. Builds on Schein’s (and other’s) work on #OrganisationalCulture and already making me think about culture change from a different perspective…. #ResearchCulture

Next up is what is being billed as a ‘crazy workshop’ - if you know me and my fondness of post-it’s, you will easily imagine how I’m feeling right now… 😍😍😍

Not sure whether I’m most excited to have discovered Bluesky or that it’s snowing! I’m obviously looking forward to linking up and finding new communities for #ResearchCulture (and all the thinking, learning and discovery that’ll come from that), but I think I gotta start with snow 🥳 #OneSmallStep…
