Boredom in the creative studio (2023)
Journal Article

Despite its high incidence in the workplace, boredom is yet to be examined in the context of the creative studio. This concern is particularly pertinent because creative personality types are reported to be more boredom prone than others and because,... Read More about Boredom in the creative studio.

PhD candidate? Why and how to develop a career plan (2023)
Journal Article

After several conversations with some PhD students/candidates, I was struck by one common thread – the lack of awareness or astuteness in planning or developing their own careers, and lack of confidence in seeking help.

Evaluating the benefit of early patient and public involvement for product development and testing with small companies (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction: There is a growing understanding of the benefits of patient and public involvement (PPI), and its evaluation, in research. An online version of the CUBE PPI evaluation framework has been developed. We sought to use the CUBE to evaluate...
