Over the years, I've learnt that the best, highest performing teams are those where everyone feels a sense of belonging & appreciation for the unique & different things they bring to the team. So I'm happy to post this blog & sketchnote on "things boldly inclusive leaders do". They build an inclusive culture through foundations of continuous learning, active listening, authentic communication & creating a psychologically safe environment for people to thrive: qaspire.com/what-boldly-incl…. Thank you @minettenorman for the principles & @tnvora for your powerful interpretation.

Here is the #BRACE and #RSET rapid evaluation teams’ publication for @NIHRresearch reflecting on the practice of rapid evaluation, which I drew on in our opening plenary at the @NuffieldTrust @HealthFdn #rapidevaluation conference birmingham.ac.uk/research/br…
Great way to start my new post at #BRACE @_HSMCentre learning about #RapidEvaluation from academics, practitioners, policy-makers, business analysts, ... at the @NuffieldTrust @HealthFdn conference

Policymakers should consider whether the National Child Measurement Programme is doing more harm than good. Our synthesis of families’ experiences reveals concerns about the programme’s impact on self-perception and food practices: qmul.ac.uk/blizard/ceg/news/… @tandfnewsroom

Read comments.. Science is our best effort creating knowledge deserving of authority&influence. BUT created by (clearly) fallible people, as a huge privilege, given disproportionately to white people, due to (institutional) racism #WithPowerComesResponsibility Thx @seis_matters
Today we join #ShutDownSTEM #ShutDownAcademia #Strike4BlackLives. We will not publish Nature today and will instead take time to focus on what we can do better, and plan how we can play our part in eradicating anti-Black racism in academia and STEM. go.nature.com/2MOuDak
You can't be a professional gardener & travel for a year at the same time. Modern focus on the present risks achieving long-term goals #HappyCareer or solving complex problems #ClimateChange. Complex phenomena unfold over time. Margaret Archer on #presentism #IACR2019
Ideas are like candles! Cultural ideas should not be seen as something with a price tag, losing value when shared. View ideas as candles instead: 'you can get light lighting your candle from mine, it won't make me have any less' - Margaret Archer on "the big lie" #IACR2019
Implementation journey of a digital social network intervention at @wessex_clahrc. Story told by @IvayloVassilev sounds so familiar! Looking at all #implementation #complexities from a #CriticalRealist perspective also at @CLAHRC_NWL ;) Discussed at #IACR2019
Super interesting talk from @sabrinaionata on understanding digital #FoodEnvironments to tackle over- & malnutrition. A basic need influenced by such a complex system! #FarmToFlush #ObesitySystemMap #IACR2019
The capability to know what you value after medical diagnosis -
an overlooked capability? Picked up via the presentation of @wessex_clahrc @cea_william by @KingsCollegeLon Nick Wilson.
Interesting & productive discussion at #IACR2019! #CapabilityTheory
Grateful to share my @CLAHRC_NWL @Imperial_PCPH work at #IACR2019 at @unisouthampton. Taking my #AppliedHealthResearch to the next level using #CriticalRealism. Learnt so much!
Great to hear @UCL_IOE #PriscillaAlderson speak at #IACR2019 about her amazing work on #MedicalConsent - Exploring consent at 3 levels of reality and the subsequent implications for practice. #CriticalRealism #CriticalRealismApplied #ThanksPriscillaAlderson
