One last Thing before we go

23 Research Things in 2023 – how could we not?! We very much enjoyed bringing you new content, and working with so many expert colleagues across the University. 

Our contributors this year have excelled in introducing ways to work smarter, not harder. Some Things included not just an expert post, but also “bonus content” in the form of an interview: by featuring practitioners who engage with the Thing, we hope to have given you further insights into how a topic can be applied in real (research) life.

Our favourite Things…
