In this section, I present some newer BlueSky ‘Skeets’ and older Tweets which showcase my projects with academia, third sector organisations and the community.
We were lucky enough to work with brilliant researcher, artist, and activist @nicmdickson.bsky.social from @uofglasgow.bsky.social and community groups in Glasgow to bring Robert and his challenges to life. Thank you to everyone who got involved🌟

Last week's @ncrm.ac.uk creative research methods course with @drhelenkara.bsky.social we explored using comics and animation in research - what a great session! I shared my use of Lynda Barry's 'Draw yourself as Batman' activity as an icebreaker in community groups. Such a fun way to engage 🙂
