Woken up in the middle of the night by a very strong whiff. What IS THAT?! Went back to sleep, thinking ‘Cats breath. Trip to the vets for a dental check up’. This morning I discovered a very pungent DEAD MOUSE, just tucked in neatly under the bed. What a treat.

Independent Research Ethics Committee – panel members needed!

You may already be aware that I have been involved in setting up a new Independent Research Ethics Committee (aka IREC). The aim is to offer ‘nose-to-tail’ ethical review, i.e. considering all aspe…

It makes it much easier when browsing again to check what you pulled from a paper, quick access to key quotes etc. Used to have be done through a linked app and manually attached, so it’s ace it’s now all within Zotero itself. And no “AI” summarising involved…
