University of Essex Senior Lecturer/Assoc Prof & Social Psychologist studying uncertainty & vulnerability in romantic relationships 🇨🇦🇬🇧 (she/they)
🍿 Heading to the movies this weekend? Yesterday, @uk.theconversation.com invited me to attend the premiere of The Roses. Is there anything we can learn from Ivy and Theo about breakups and divorce?

The basic principle is that reviewers are tired, they're rushed, they're reading your and 10 other grants on top of their normal workload.

Anything you can do to make it easy for them will help.

Here's a list of my suggestions.
As a grant reviewer, what do you really wish people would do/not do?

Not big things, like find a significant question/innovative method/be consistent with aims

Little things, like bold each acronym the first time it’s used.

We need a new model of fatherhood based on positive
masculinity.

We need to evolve the role of the #father in the family. But if we are going to change fatherhood, we first need to change manhood.
