Want to hold ethical discussions in your university but dont know where to start? We have developed a format called "Cuppa Conundrums" which we have tried and tested at Lancaster University. See facilitator information here: https://osf.io/uwr3e
Meet Roxy. My research assistant. She’s only 11 weeks old but has strong views on research integrity and ethical practices.
If your NY resolution is to start a PhD programme, please check out the project I am advertising. Title: Shifting Patterns: Exploring Behavioural Biometrics and Contextual Variability in the Digital Age.
Generating ideas for Cuppa Conundrums Sessions: a safe space for ethical discussions, focusing on new forms of digital data in research. We aim to develop a programme of conundrums that can be discussed at your own university. Let us know what you'd like to see in this programme.
Lancaster Folk: Please come along to our first Cuppa Conundrums Session, where we discuss tricky ethical conundrums that may arise when doing research projects.
First Topic: Using Social Media Data in Research

Hoping to direct more effort to microblogging as I always fail at maintaining normal sized blogs. Any tips at maintaining this alongside other academic commitments?
Thrilled to announce our new MSc course at Lancaster University in Psychology and Behavioural Analytics! We will be teaching a fresh interdisciplinary approach that fuses psychology, computer and data science when analysing digital data.
Happy to announce I will be PI on a SPRITE+ funded project called: Building a minimal viable digital identity from digital footprints. I have a team of wonderful comp sci collaborators and I can’t wait to share our work.

I wrote this a few months ago for the print edition, but here’s the online version of my Science Focus article about the problems with a relentless focus on correlation when trying to figure out if social media is tanking our mental health: https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/social-media-children/
Going to conferences has made me reflect on “what is my topic, what am I currently doing, what is my identity as a researcher?” All are useful for updating bios, and directing focus (which for myself is blending psychology with behavioural analytics) https://heathershaw.quarto.pub/blog/about.html
