Fascinating research by @_Zoe_Grose, who I've had the privilege of knowing since she was a child. It's been inspiring to see her grow and thrive. Please consider contributing or sharing
Hi all! I'm currently studying my masters in research looking at how eye contact influences the success of child therapy. If you have a few spare minutes to complete my questionnaire, or even just share it, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you :)

I LOVE it when I get a great brief... I'm really looking forward to writing this keynote for a conference in Essex. If anyone else fancies something similar be in touch with Ellie @SpeakingofBks - I think it will be a great session (that sounds horribly imodest.. sorry)

@JenKenward they do seem to have gotten sillier and siller over the years Jen! I speak of you often and this little kindness you've shown me - over how many years now? So many... I hope you have a good day today. You're such a special person.

I'm really enjoying the challenge of cycling every day (I've had to invest in warm clothing) If you'd like to follow along (join in?) I'm over on strava I'd love to hear from fellow cyclists - any tandem cyclists out there too?
