One of (my) life's biggest disappointments is the inability to work in the garden when it's sunny. There's power and WiFi but I've never found a satisfactory resolution to the screen issue (and yes I've tried an umbrella, cardboard box etc). Good problem to have I guess ☀️!

British Sociological Association presentation done ✅ - a really enjoyable panel with important synergies around the politics of mental health. And it's great to be finally getting to share findings from the wonderful Men Minds Project.

Plans for a solid morning concentrating on writing have been scuppered by a very large wasp in my workspace. In April? Why are there wasps in April? A bee would be fine, but a wasp might call for drastic action. Send help!

Hi @dedoose.bsky.social or anyone here that uses #Dedoose When coding media I have this view on my screen. I have a lot of codes and it would be good to see more of them on screen. Is there a way to expand the code box on bottom right at all? Sorry for the basic question but I'm new to Dedoose!
