If you work in communication and primary care then please do consider submitting original research to BMC primary Care's “Communication in Primary Care” Collection. I’m delighted to guest edit this collection alongside Prof Russel Rothman, and we’ll be accepting submissions until 30th July 2026 👇

Conversation analysts can you help me out with a response to reviewers? Plz share any evidence that training developed from CA can (a)change healthcare professional behaviours (b)change health outcomes PLUS (c) any references of ‘good practice’ identified through CA being absent from guidance. 🙏

A fantastic fireworks display last night at @somervillecollege.bsky.social . They do this every year, but I’ve missed the last 4 since joining the college as I’m usually away at conferences. Great to finally be able to attend this year and definitely worth waiting for. 🎆🎇

The Global Tipping Points Report is clear: without urgent climate action, damage to nature could be irreversible. 🚨

But it's not too late to stop the destruction.

This report should be a wake-up call. 🚨

The #ClimateCrisis is already having a devastating effect on some of our world's most precious habitats.

Action must be taken now to protect what we have left, and turn us away from these dangerous tipping points.
Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’
Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

Well done Shafaq Aftab. When a reviewer stole her work and published it under his own name, she fought for a YEAR to get the journal to retract the paper. Just wondering why it took Wiley a YEAR to do this. 🧪 #academicsky

How about approaching this from the other side- how do we incentivise employers to make the adjustments necessary to help people with disabilities into work. Rather than suggesting that if sick people just tried a bit harder they could not be sick, which is what this looks like
