On Tuesday, I did some introductory research communication skills training with our researchers @uniofnottingham.bsky.social

We did an activity where they communicated their research using Lego - which sparked some very creative outputs! 🥳😎

Excellent advice for researchers including PhD candidates from Hugh @ithinkwellhugh.bsky.social. I'm a big fan of Hugh's TNT, The Next (tiny) Thing technique to get you started. Worth checking out.

Wondering where to start? All seem a bit overwhelming?
Start with the first step. Once you do that you've started and it doesn't feel so bad.
Open the document.
Make the first change.
Analyse that first bit of data.
Make a start.
