Very pleased to have won an @SRHE Newer Researcher Award to explore attitudes to PhD research in #Nottingham
Looking forward to starting this project, which will help us better understand how to build community engagement into #highereducation #research @UfNCollab
Congratulations to the 3 SRHE newer researcher award winners for 2023: Rachel Handforth (Nottingham Trent) @Rach_Handforth Bing Lu (Warwick) @BingluAlice and Vily Papageorgiou (Surrey). To learn more about these three projects see srhe.ac.uk/research/latest-n…

Rishi Sunak being prevented from calling an election because he had to fight a no confidence vote would be the most Rishi Sunak thing that has ever happened.

Recruitment is open for my PhD project looking at what it means to be #workready in #mansfield & #ashfield. This is the chance to have your story heard & potentially improve experiences for local families in the future. Please share! For more details see 👇#nottinghamshire
Really enjoyed meeting other award winners @VilyPapag @BingluAlice last month. Would definitely encourage others to apply for the Newer Researcher award!

We've already received calls about people who've become trapped after attempting to drive through floodwater water.
Please don't drive through floodwater water.
The water is usually deeper than it looks.
A few inches can flood an engine.
A couple of feet can float a car.

Today the government have launched a survey on reproductive health and its vital as many people fill it out as possible to help shape reproductive health services. 👉🏿 theguardian.com/society/2023…
What a joy to spend the last 3 days at @Nottm_Contemp with @UfNCollab PhD students for our summer retreat. We've had amazing contributions from @ResearchersUoN @NTUYourLibrary @UoNCareers @NCCPE & I'm so proud to see our incredible students becoming civically engaged researchers!
Sobering evidence presented by @KalwantBhopal on the compounded disadvantage and entrenched inequalities for minoritised ethnic students within #highereducation #ReExcellence
A challenge from Steve Miles from @ManMetUni to end the parallel sessions this afternoon, in that a radical rethink of the structure of PhD is needed to enable research to have impact in communities #ReExcellence
Really interesting reflections from Paul Grainge from @UniofNottingham on how to establish equitable partnerships in university collaborations #ReExcellence
Fascinating findings being shared by @BekiHill from @sciencecampaign on UK public attitudes to research and development- especially the insight that people have a greater recognition of researchers rather than research itself #ReExcellence
Our very own Matt Young is now sharing how we've got @UfNCollab up and running using insights from the @EDEPI_ project to inform our inclusive recruitment process to doctoral programmes #ReExcellence
Very exciting to see Julie Sheldon of @LJMU presenting the competencies framework developed in the @EDEPI_ project as part of a move to reimagine doctoral admissions processes in a more inclusive way #ReExcellence
Lauren Russell of @EDEPI_ @TrentUni provides us with a valuable reminder of how the entrenched racial inequalities in HE affects the types of research that are prioritised and undertaken #ReExcellence
Really enjoying hearing about the impact of the conference for Black and minority ethnic ECRs that @toyinyacncay leads, evidence of the importance of building support networks #reexcellence
Wish I could be there to attend- such a difficult and dreadful week 💔
Nottingham City Council has announced they will be holding a vigil in Old Market Square tomorrow (Thursday 15 June) at 5.30 pm to mourn the tragic events earlier this week.

NEW on Wonkhe: Rachel Handforth explains how academics and the community can collaborate on local challenge-based PhD projects across disciplinary areas @Rach_Handforth buff.ly/40BOe0Y
It's an odd position to be in, having just rejoined HE and started work at an institution that has withdrawn from national @ucu negotiations, but sending solidarity to all those on strike to improve pay, pensions and working conditions #ucustrikes
Enjoyed recording this with @Tony_Bromley at the end of last year- a great opportunity to discuss the research that @HeadofWeather and I did exploring the career experiences of #disabled #scientists #DisabledinSTEM
