My favourite annual "participation trophy" 🏆🥰

Grateful for the chance to review... and yes, as a Millennial I am still deeply validated by certificates.

‼️Coming up next week - still time to register to attend: events.teams.microsoft.com/event/e7fdca... @ncrm.ac.uk @bspsuk.bsky.social @elsa-study.bsky.social @britishgerontology.bsky.social @cra-soton.bsky.social

✨️New paper✨️from colleague at the University of Stirling.

Scaling home designs for healthy cognitive ageing: a realist evaluation perspective 🏠🧠

doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

It only took 4 years, flights to/from Canada, several train journeys (I write best on transport, okay?), a writing retreat in Langholmen Prison and 2 @britishacademy.bsky.social ECR Writing retreats - but WE DID IT!!!

Reviewers be kind please 🙏

Ignoring that it's almost 4years (to the date) that I submitted my PhD corrections... FINALLY finished and submitted my manuscript (one of my PhD thesis research questions) to Journals of Gerontology Series B!✨👏

Imagine putting a "mega-resort" by Loch Lomond, hike up Ben Lomond and look down at the... rollercoasters. I can't comprehend.

Scottish people have voted against it for a DECADE, but the most recent unanimous rejection was overturned. There's a protest outside Scot Parl tomorrow (29th) 11am. ❌🎢💚🌍

Still time to join the ERA committee - accepting applications until this SUNDAY 1st June!

We're recruiting for Mentor co-ordinators, Secretary, Incoming Chair & Volunteers.
