To what extent does the reporting of #user input in publications suggest their input is meaningfully shaping the development of #digital #sexualhealth tools?

Our team of international experts answer this question in our #openacces scoping review: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The #charette process described in this film reminds me of the power of deliberative #dialogue which we see in #codesign (albeit on a much larger scale).

Getting to know people whose perspective differs from ours is a transformative experience.

Forgot to vote yesterday 😮 but jumping back on the bandwagon with a vote for the Curlew.

In our house, they will forever be known as “Oolews” as my toddler christened them, “Look, there’s an Oolew!”

Today’s vote is for King Parrot.

Apart from sharing our name, I’ve always had a soft spot for these shy sweeties who are easily scared off from bird feeders by bolshy cockatoos and rainbow lorikeets.

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

I usually say writing and data analysis need chocolate 🍫 but today it was doing four #research interviews and a video reflexive ethnography session in three days…

So, basically, all research activities need 🍫…

…preferably in 🍪 form.

I just converted my chook run to a fernery so I can go and hide in there from the world.

Awesome.
That sounds like a really practical direction to go. All the best with it.

There's no point in our governments setting 'ambitious' emissions reduction targets if they won't actually take reducing emissions seriously.

Expanding fossil fuels and relying on bogus carbon credits is NOT taking it seriously.

The recent finding that Australians are marrying later and less but also divorcing less seems to suggest that choice is a key determinant of happy marriages?

Living together prior to marriage may allow for couples to choose not to stay in an unsatisfactory arrangement:

Divorce rates at lowest level in 50 years

Divorce rates are at their lowest level since the mid-1970s, according to a new report by the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS).

…This choice may be absent in couples with lower earning potential OR where the male partner refuses to do his share at home when his wife is working full time.

Are you doing/publishing any qualitative work to explore your findings?

Alicia King (she/her) @aliciajeanking.bsky.social · 15d

Fascinating work, Kim, which resonates with my experiences & observations.

I think CHOOSING to adopt a traditional OR egalitarian arrangement can contribute to marriage stability.

The 💩 hits the fan when women are EXPECTED to work full (and increasingly over) time AND carry the load at home.

May you have many more years together.
