Having been around for a little while, it's time for an #Introduction.

I am a quantitative social psychologist in #Birkbeck's Department of Organisational Psychology in #London. My research is mostly about intergroup contact and the (possible) benefits of diversity. I am passionate about open science and #rstats and am involved in building some research tools in that space. Looking forward to connecting here!

This is a great opportunity! #Birkbeck is a great place to do a PhD. https://www.bbk.ac.uk/news/birkbeck-offers-kathleen-booth-anniversary-phd-scholarship-to-support-representation-in-computing

Also a great way to commemorate Kathleen Booth, a brilliant computer pioneer who died earlier this year at the age of 100. George Dyson tells part of her story in his wonderful book 'Turing's Cathedral'.

(re) #introduction Hi! I'm Alexandra, a mature student of the #ancient mediterranean. I did my BA at #Birkbeck and am doing an MA at Leicester. My primary research area is the #Greek reception of #Roman spectacle, #gladiators, and their appearances in modern pop culture. I'm blogging my experiences with HE at www.ancientalexandra.wixsite.com/domus where you can find links to articles I've written for various #antiquity websites @antiquidons

It's a big week for the project. The SciConf group has teamed up with the artist Mariana Castillo Deball to produce a series of podcasts about the history of conferences. They will be 'unveiled' at a show in London this Friday, 18 Nov, 6-8pm, at the #Birkbeck cinema, followed by a drinks reception.

We still have some places left – they are free but you need to register, here: https://www.bbk.ac.uk/events/remote_event_view?id=34070

Hope to see some fellow Mastodons there!

I’m a student at Birkbeck. These cuts will be devastating for both staff and students https://www.theguardian.com/education/2022/nov/13/dismay-at-threat-of-devastating-job-cuts-at-birkbeck-university-of-london #birkbeck #highereducation

This is why Birkbeck is special. I hope we can continue to hear stories like this in the future.
