A few more days left to apply for this PhD project (funded by Papyrus, to start Jan 2025) looking at the role of community-based interventions in helping prevent young suicides.

So what I can't figure out is if I'm subscribed to the outlook cal on my computer iCal, is there a way of also being able to see it on my phone?
i.e. Without having the outlook app installed on there - it's my personal phone, and would req me to install additional security software, etc
Great advice! Thank you :)
Great tips! Got my mock viva booked in for Monday :)
Hi! I'm a Research Fellow in Suicide Prevention Research looking at the efficacy of surveillance tech in public spaces. Would love to connect with other UK postdocs 😊
Also have my PhD viva soon! My thesis was on why we spread disinformation online (identity, beliefs and moral psych). Wish me luck!
What are your top viva prep tips?
1 month and 1 day to go...
