Bluesky #youthinvolvement people! I am seeking young people (aged 10–24) to share their experiences as collaborators in health research for an upcoming book project. Participation can take part via chat, workshop, or writing (€20–25 voucher). Link to express interest: tinyurl.com/youthinhealt...

A visually bright poster that asks if you have ever been involved (or tried to be involved) in health research as a contributor? It asks if you want to be involved in providing feedback on an upcoming book, and outlines that participation requires you to be aged 10-24, speak english and have access to the internet. It outlines that taking part can involve a 1-1 chat, a group workshop or written feedback. The email to get involved is ResearchInvolvement.KH@outlook.com

More professional oversharing from me in the Irish Times today. Three years on, I look back at what I think I've learned from my miscarriage experiences.
It's paywalled, but I'll pull some of the major ideas below.

In hospital for my miscarriage surgery, I waited with two women checking in to give birth

There is compassion in good design. You wouldn’t have a wedding planner and an undertaker share a reception
