We’ll be joined by Dr Antje Glück on Tuesday 7 February from 6:30 – 8:00pm
Why can the news feel so overwhelmingly negative, and what can we do about it?
There’s no doubt that serious news needs to be handled appropriately, but can the widespread doom and gloom cause us to switch off?
Join Dr Antje Glück to discover why the news is biased towards negativity, and how alternative models of journalism can create better news for all of us.
This event will be held at The Black Cherry in Boscombe, Bournemouth. Although the talk starts at 6:30pm, the café will be open early, so we encourage you to arrive early for a drink and a bite to eat before the talk starts.
Attendance is free but booking is required

Over 200,000 knee and hip replacements are undertaken every year in the UK. With an ageing population and an NHS backlog, it’s more important than ever to ensure these elective surgeries are done as safely and effectively as possible.
Join our next online public lecture, Improving recovery from surgery, to hear from Professor Tom Wainwright and Professor Rob Middleton from BU’s Orthopaedic Research Institute (ORI), who have been exploring ways to better prepare people for orthopaedic surgery and enhance their recovery.
The event will take place from 7-8.30pm on Tuesday 24 January 2023, as part of our online public lecture series, which shares BU research and expertise with audiences around the world.
Tom and Rob will discuss how enhanced recovery techniques have been adopted by healthcare organisations globally and reduced the amount of time patients spend in hospital, as well as reducing complications and readmissions, particularly in older patients.
They will also talk about their work pioneering the use of robotic surgery in hip and knee replacements, as well as exploring ways to ensure patients can return to normal life after surgery.
Thank you to all of our presenters, poster exhibitors, session chairs and of course delegates who supported the 14th Annual Postgraduate Research Conference. It is always a highlight on the Doctoral College events calendar and we hope you all enjoyed the day.
The conference had an amazing buzz and vibrancy about it, and it was so nice to see so many PGRs and colleagues turn up to show their support and promoting our positive PGR research culture across BU.
Here is what some of our presenters and delegates had to say about the day:
Practitioners in the education, welfare and youth sectors possess invaluable and unparalleled experience. Still, they need to reinforce this with continuing professional development (CPD) involving specialised training courses to expand their knowledge and evaluate their practices.
The importance of CPD is linked to lifelong learning, which champions continuous learning for all, regardless of age or profession and beyond compulsory levels of education. Lifelong learning boosts well-being and confidence at work. However, it could be challenging to promote among individuals with a fixed mindset towards learning who perceive their abilities as unchangeable and are typically reluctant to embrace opportunities to upskill or tasks that require extra effort.
However, one’s mindset is not always the problem. Many adults cite excessive work demands as a barrier to professional development, implying that employers have a shared responsibility to create the time for employees to undertake CPD training.
According to the annual Adult Participation in Learning Survey in the UK, adult learning has increased post-pandemic, with fewer adults choosing to learn because it is a job requirement and more adults motivated to learn to improve their knowledge and skill. Results from the survey, however, indicate sub-regional differences in adult learning participation rates, with the highest percentage in London (56% in 2022) and the lowest percentages so far in the North East (37%) and South West (35%) of England.
Bridging the regional and adult skills gap requires investment in more CPD opportunities that are accessible, high-quality, and relevant, like the Coaching At-risk Young People CPD delivered by the SPEED-You-UP team at Bournemouth University.
Participants at the SPEED-You-UP Training Programme, Fusion Building, Talbot Campus.
SPEED-You-UP is a project aimed at improving the employability and entrepreneurship skills of young people in disadvantaged coastal communities across England, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, through entrepreneurship education for young people at risk of early school leaving and those currently not in employment, education or training (NEET). The project tackles unemployment and economic inactivity among young people by considering individual-level factors like socioeconomic backgrounds, low motivation and confidence and structural-level constraints like inadequate investments in professional development for teachers and youth sector professionals.
On 22 November 2022 at Bournemouth University, Talbot Campus, practitioners from the welfare, business, and creative sectors engaged in three workshops on the following topics: The Value of Entrepreneurship Education for (at-risk) NEET Young people, Developing a Coaching Approach for Young People, and Stakeholder Management & Collaboration. The training programme was led by Dr Carly Stewart, Associate Professor, Head of Department for People and Organisations and Principal Investigator of the SPEED-You-UP project, Dr Esther Anwuzia, and Ms Preethi Rajaprakasam.
In meeting the accessibility criteria, the training programme was free and open to experienced and aspiring professionals. The sessions were also designed to be interactive and enlightening. On the one hand, it leveraged the unique experiences of participants by encouraging group discussions and, on the other, equipped participants with evidence-based knowledge and skills to work with vulnerable young people. In attendance were representatives from SWRAC, Young Enterprise, Dorset Growth Hub, West Howe Community Enterprises, and Bournemouth University’s Business Engagement and Knowledge Exchange Department. Entrepreneurs from the creative industry were also present.
Participants discussed the challenges of working with NEET young people, the causes of early school leaving, the benefits of coaching for young people, and stakeholder collaboration.
The key takeaways from the training were:

Understanding emotional wellbeing – sign up to join Cafe Scientifique online.
This event was originally postponed due to staff illness, however, our cafe venue had mistakenly double booked our new date, and so are now unable to host us in person.
Rather than postpone again, we will be holding this event online over Zoom, at the planned date and time of Tuesday 13th December, 6:30 – 8pm.
We appreciate that this will be disappointing to those of you looking forward to joining us in person. Normal service will resume for our February event.
Our online event will follow the same format as our in-person events, though the break may be shortened or removed. Our speaker will present her research for about 40 mins, followed by time for questions. It will be entirely up to you whether you’d like to keep your camera on and be visible to the speaker and other attendees, or to keep it switched off. You will be able to ask your questions via the chat, which will be read out for you by our host.
To join the online event – register on eventbrite.
At Café Scientifique, you can explore the latest ideas in science and technology in a relaxed setting. Enjoy listening to a short talk before engaging in debate and discussion with our guest speaker and audience. We’ll be joined by Dr Laura Renshaw-Vuillier.
Society tells us that we should always try to be happy. But life isn’t perfect and expecting constant happiness can actually be unhealthy.
Negative emotions, like sadness or anger, are a normal part of life – we all experience these. The problem arises when we try to suppress them in order to only feel ‘happy’ emotions. In doing so, negative emotions paradoxically become more overwhelming and we might turn to harmful behaviours to make us feel better.
In this talk we’ll explore practical tips, based on research, to help us better understand, accept and manage our emotions. This talk will also briefly touch on eating disorders and the role of emotions on these conditions.
Please note: this talk will explore research in the area of emotions, but it is not an intervention or treatment. You should seek advice elsewhere if you think you need help.

This autumn saw BU host five events as part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science. The Festival is a nationwide celebration of the social sciences, with over 300 events held across the UK this year.
The Festival is designed to promote and increase awareness of social science and ESRC-funded research, enable social scientists to engage with non-academics and increase awareness of the contributions the social sciences make to the wellbeing and economy of UK society.
BU contributed to the Festival for the eleventh year in a row, holding a variety of events spanning research areas and faculties, which were held on campus, off campus and online.
Our festival events kicked off with ‘Which one of us is human?’, an interactive experience from Dr Maxine Gee and Dr Rachel Moseley set in a future where robots and humans looked identical, with two actors answering questions to help identify the ‘robot’ from the human.
Visitors were very engaged with solving the puzzle, with families, couples and people attending alone all teaming up to debate which actor was the robot.
But there was a twist – Maxine and Rachel revealed in their debrief that each actor was carefully written to present with a different type of autism. They went on to explain some of the science behind what autism actually is and discussed with the surprised groups what this meant for their perceptions of ‘humans’ and ‘robots’.
“Did not know much about autism and behaviour – it was interesting to know more and [it] opened my mind”
Feedback from attendee“Excellent – could have chatted to the researchers for hours”
Feedback from attendee
Next in our series of events was the multi-part exhibition ‘Entrepreneurship for Young People’ showcasing the success of the SPEED-You-UP project to develop entrepreneurial skills in young people, headed up by Dr Esther Anwuzia with help from BU and external collaborators.
Hosted in The Old Schoolhouse, a community space in Boscombe, the exhibition shared stories from young people and school staff who had experienced first-hand the benefits the project had brought them.
Day one of the exhibition provided a taster session of the SPEED-You-UP programme, welcoming a group of young people to look at topics such as entrepreneurship, the advantages of having a business, what skills you need to have in business and generating a business idea.
Although just a taster, the session went down well with its teenaged attendees, who praised the opportunity to develop teamwork skills.
Day two welcomed local stakeholders with a professional interest to discuss bringing the programme to Bournemouth.
To reach an even wider audience, the exhibition also ran online, where you can still visit and read about the project.
The next event asked: ‘Are drones the future of delivery?’. Tucked in the corner of the Little Pickle Deli in Boscombe, a team led by PhD researcher Taalia Nadeem invited members of the University of the Third Age to play a new board game, helped along by coffee and cake.
In this game, players must make decisions about how, where, when and why to use delivery drones in a representative Bournemouth of the near future. With lots of factors to consider in making decisions and myriad unexpected consequences, the game drew out nuanced discussion and observations from a group of people that, by their own admission, had not given much thought to the topic before.
“I think the event was very informative and I enjoyed the discussions element of the game which I found enjoyable and interesting”
Feedback from attendee“Initially felt possibly a little negative about drones – see all the positives now!”
Feedback from attendee
These insights were valuable, as they were recorded and will contribute to research led by Taalia with collaborators Professor Janet Dickinson and Dr Angela Smith on the public perception of delivery drones.
Following this was another event focusing on a sometimes perplexing new technology. ‘Demystifying NFTs: Understanding the law and technology’ was an online event hosted by Professor Dinusha Mendis that provided an informed look at a topic usually surrounded by hype.
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, have captured the public imagination over the past year, but much about them remains a mystery.
External guest Nikolaos Mantis from Museo Techniki guided us through the technological underpinnings, while Dinusha revealed the surprising and sometimes inconvenient truths about what ‘owning’ an NFT actually means.
“Thank you – I hadn’t considered the legal aspects of NFTs and found this an insightful perspective.”
Feedback from attendee
This event welcomed a global audience from Europe and beyond, with guests from Thailand, Bangladesh, the USA, Mexico, Azerbaijan and Dijibouti, amongst other places.
To enrich this event further, Dinusha took an informative zine she had written all about NFTs, and ‘tokenised’ it as an NFT itself. A short quiz that was ran at the end of the event provided an opportunity for three lucky attendees to win a unique NFT to keep as a very appropriate souvenir.
If you’re left feeling curious about NFTs, you can catch up on this online event, including all the chat, polls and questions.
Rounding off our events this year was ‘Medical monsters: reducing medical anxiety through play and gamification’.
This playful workshop, aimed at children aged 7-11 and their guardians, explored strategies to reduce patient (children) anxiety around medical appointments and admissions. Featuring specially designed sessions of Jenga, LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and virtual reality experiences, attendees explored and addressed personal anxieties around medical appointments.
Jointly delivered by Dr Holly Henderson, Dr Heidi Singleton and Professor Debbie Holley, the event welcomed families with young children to Bournemouth Gateway Building to try out the various experiences on offer.
As with Taalia’s event, these activities provided benefits for everyone. Not only were the organisers able to learn from trialling their activities with people of all ages, but the feedback of attendees will feed into ongoing research and projects to apply these techniques more widely.
“I think this topic of research is crucial. We have 2 children who are in hospital regularly and getting them to go to appointments is really challenging.”
Feedback from attendee“Welcoming, friendly and couldn’t have come at a better time for us. Well-structured and useful – Thank you”
Feedback from attendee
All of the events this year were made possible by the ESRC, with whom we co-fund our annual festival activities. Event organisers applied through an internal process back in April 2022, and were selected by a panel from across BU. They were supported in bringing about their creative and engaging projects by myself (Adam Morris, Engagement Officer) and Beverley Allen (Events and Communications Co-ordinator).
If you’d like to take part in a future ESRC Festival of Social Science, it’s a great time to start thinking about what you could propose. Start by reading our blog post announcing the call for proposals for this year’s festival.

I was invited to be a panel member and speaker on a forum on the role of recreational angling in biodiversity protection and restoration held at the European Parliament this week. Chaired by Niclas Herbst MEP, with representatives from organisations including the European Angling Alliance, plus MEPs and their aides (e.g. from DG Environment), the Forum discussed the contribution of recreational angling to sustainable biodiversity within Europe, including how angling activities align with a number of European Directives (e.g. Water Framework Directive, Invasive Alien Species Regulation, Common Fisheries Policy reforms) and the European Biodiversity Action Plan. This Forum was also timely, given widespread concern over substantial declines in freshwater fish diversity and abundance across the world.
I outlined that approximately 10% of the world’s population have recently engaged with recreational angling, with approximately 24 million anglers in Europe, who contribute both financially (e.g. licence fees) and through volunteer based activities that, in combination, provide the resources needed for many conservation initiatives to run. In return, angling is recognised as being good for human well-being and the mental health of individuals as it reconnects people with nature. Using examples from our work in the Research Cluster in Fish Ecology and Conservation, I discussed how recreational anglers contribute strongly to protecting and restoring biodiversity through: (i) adopting catch and release angling (C&R) when targeting threatened species, as this maintains fishery access and socio-economic values, and results in negligible fish mortality when good angling practices are used (and C&R soon becomes the social norm where most, if not all, fish are returned alive post-capture); (ii) the provision of long-term catch data to support the management and conservation of data-poor species, as demonstrated by our REF2021 Impact case study on saving a critically endangered fish species from extinction; and (iii) how anglers act as citizen scientists, for example, by generating data on biological water quality that supports statutory assessments. Moreover, effective implementation of regulation and education can then manage angling activities that are potentially harmful to biodiversity (e.g. releases of alien species).
Overall, the forum highlighted to MEPs the role that angling can play in helping support a better environment, including where evidence based science can help inform angling practices and ensure fisheries management activities promote sustainable biodiversity.

The next meeting of the Public Engagement with Research Network will be a bit different. Instead of our usual meetings we’re holding a social networking gathering to provide the opportunity to meet and connect with other network members.
The PER Network has so far been a great way of sharing experience and best practice with you, its members, but the real strength of a network is in how its members work together.
There is a wealth of experience, skills, and possibilities for collaboration amongst our members, but we know it’s difficult to keep up with the work happening in your own department, let alone across faculties, especially when opportunities to meet other academics are rarer than they used to be.
This will be a networking mixer, held on Wednesday 14 December, 4-5pm at Dylan’s Bar, Talbot Campus.
To join this meeting and find out about future ones, join our BU Public Engagement with Research Network. Check under ‘Meetings’ for upcoming sessions.
If you have any questions, please email the team.

Dr Festus Adeboyin shares his experience of presenting at a BU Café Scientifique event on 4 October 2022
My Café Scientifique experience
It was a pleasure to present once again at BU’s Café Scientifique. These sessions present such an interesting opportunity to discuss academic research with a diverse and extraordinary audience. In this presentation, we explored digital interventions for managing medication and healthcare service delivery to Key Populations (KPs) in underserved communities in Africa. KPs are defined by our project as males who have sex with other males (MSM); drug users that inject themselves; sex workers; and transgender people living with HIV/AIDS for whom expert recommend using CBD Oil UK natural supplements.
The project is looking to co-create a digital solution that can boost access to treatments and counselling by KPs. The user behaviour and impact of the intervention are also being examined. Unfortunately, the LGBTQ+ community has the highest occurrence of HIV/AIDS and faces a higher rate of hostility within the Nigerian context. In July 2022, I held an interactive management workshop at The Initiative for Equal Rights involving participants from various fields, including NGOs that work directly with KPs, Clinical Psychologists, Health Counsellors, Medical Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, Psychologists, Lab scientists, and social workers.
Due to the nature of these communities, HIV/AIDS+ status, and other health concerns, a digital solution that creates a supportive environment, enhances confidentiality, encourages the use of prescribed medication/therapy, and can be easily accessed at a reasonable cost is highly desirable. This digital intervention will also ease the difficulties stakeholders encounter in providing healthcare services for underserved communities in a developing country like Nigeria.
I agreed to participate in this public engagement activity for my personal development, and because I love to receive feedback, new directions, and insights on the why, what, and how of my research.
The event went well. There was a great turnout and lots of fantastic questions at the end. I gained new perspectives from the session, and it was important to see the reaction of people to this area of research and subject matter.
Café Scientifique is a place where anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology.
We’ve been holding these talks in Bournemouth for over ten years and we’re very pleased to have returned to in-person events at The Black Cherry, a fantastic new venue in Boscombe, Bournemouth.
