A projected slide. White text reads: SCDTP is doing a podcast... today! A square picture of a light house on a rocky island. The lighthouse is shining a light in the dusk. White text reads: Speaking of Research The SCDTP podcast.

We had the opportunity to be one of the first guests on Speaking of Research: The SCDTP Podcast, talking about our research.

I was also asked (with permission) a very thoughtful question of how the Supreme Court ruling could affect my research.

Im glad to have shared my research with the rest of the #SCDTPimpact2025 group

I swear I don't always wear the same dress! 😆

#SCDTPimpact2025 Key elements from @tamsinbradley.bsky.social High quality evidence is start point. Knowledge of context in terms of what that evidence might impact. Knowledge of the stakeholder map and channels of impact. Relationship building is critical - not just organizations but people.

Still deep in our session with Prof Tamsin Bradley on the nature of research impact in ending violence against women and girls (VAWG). But it’s worth mentioning the lovely lunch we had just now out in the sun @cumberlandlodge.bsky.social 🌞
