A slide that reads: "Building a reflexive qualitative approach to open research". Dr. Annayah Prosser

A slide that reads "what does openness and transparency in research mean to you?"

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I've been on a Scottish Open Qualitative Research tour this week! 💪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 💡 It was a pleasure to visit the University of Strathclyde and Heriott-Watt University yesterday to run a seminar and workshop session on Openness and Transparency in Qualitative Research!

Great to see the Climate Change Committee (CCC) calling for public figures to “lead by example” on climate change, citing our research.

CCC says leading by example increases public buy-in and behaviour change @thecccuk.bsky.social

🚨So, we've made this new infographic showing how it works...

"A substantial proportion of the articles provides little information about the risks and solutions of climate change..."

Great paper on how climate activists are portrayed in the media in Germany 🇩🇪

Keir Starmer says the UK can decarbonise without disruption – that’s neither true nor helpful It’s the government’s job to make it easier and cheaper for people to change their lives.

"Not everyone needs to change their lifestyle to the same extent.

Those with the largest carbon footprints – typically the wealthiest people – need to make the most significant changes."
