You know when someone makes that extra effort to share their reflection on a workshop series you did! One of the best feedback I ever received and for my longer running courses I will now add a reflection at the end…this is going straight into my Happy folder #ResearcherDevelopment #AcademicWriting

Our train writing retreat was such a great success - only for a high up person to question why we bought 1st class tickets (which is against travel policy) so now I have to write a debrief report explaining that we did write on the train and didn’t just travel…and why writing in standard class wouldn’t have worked for a retreat 🤦🏻‍♀️ just let us do our job #ResearcherDevelopment #AcademicWriting

Never would have thought video editing would become such a fun part of my job! I love it. Definitely more to learn but for now it’s great…#ResearcherDevelopment

3 days of planning for the year ahead with the GCU Graduate School Team. I’m so excited for the year and all the cool things we’ll be doing!!!! #ResearcherDevelopment

Video editing time and I’m trying to make the videos more engaging by adding relevant stock videos and not just my slides…#ResearcherDevelopment

To see other great initiatives have a look on the Vitae Platform of Practice related to #ResearcherDevelopment Concordat https://concordatplatformofpractice.vitae.ac.uk/

The #ResearcherDevelopment Concordat links to the UK R&D and Culture Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/research-and-development-rd-people-and-culture-strategy) and the Vitae HR Excellence in Research Award (https://www.vitae.ac.uk/policy/hr-excellence-in-research) - I'm a lead reviewer for the HREiR Award and happy to chat about it or to support mock panels etc

Next session: Concordats 101- there a few

Ethics application approved - going to spend the summer working on a co-production project with final year PGRs to design a structured writing programme for them #ResearcherDevelopment

What an amazing day hosting @thesiswhisperer at GCU, judging #3MT final and hearing interesting things about the post ac project. Followed by a great dinner, loads of discussion and so many new ideas…#ResearcherDevelopment is the best job

Using #ChatGPT to outline all workshops I’m planning - its not always perfect but always a great starting point #AcademicChatter #ResearcherDevelopment #AcWri

Fun new things I am happy to be involved in with Dr Kay Guccione - Expanding the Supervisor Development community! See blog for details and join us to chat and read all things

On the way to Millport to deliver my new #Editing your own writing workshop to #PhD students from the #SGSAH - using the train journey to practice one more time…#ResearcherDevelopment #AcWri #AcademicWriting

I love designing new #workshops for #PhD students and this one about Editing your thesis and knowing when to stop writing looks great. I hope the Phd students agree with me. #ResearcherDevelopment #PhDChat

Doing the Vitae #3MT workshop is always a highlight - it really puts the students out of their academic comfort zone but it is so important when it comes to communicating their research #ResDev #ResearcherDevelopment

I'm going to introduce a group of physics and engineering PhDs to collaging soon...inspired by @alisonmccandlish session to add some fun to this writing retreat...hopefully they are up for it #ResearcherDevelopment #AcWri

One of my favourite writing courses starts with favourite workshop: Explore your #writing #AcWri and I’m happy to deliver this at any institution https://transfer-rds.co.uk/explore-your-writing-session/ #ResearcherDevelopment #ResDev

Looking forward to this RD&Tea event about creating spaces for #researchers - physical and virtual #ResearcherDevelopment #ResearchCulture https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/rd-and-tea-creating-spaces-physical-and-otherwise-for-our-researchers-tickets-457067409927 I guess the time zone might not work for you @thesiswhisperer?

I had a fantastic time at Hogeschool Utrecht with colleagues from the Research Office planning a joint Development programme #ResearcherDevelopment #GrantWriting - and it gave me some ideas for my new job

Since January 2021 I have collated a weekly (ish) PGR Development update - I have now managed to collate the over 400 links on a Wakelet https://wakelet.com/@StephanieZihms
