#TIL there's something called 'auroral ecosystem services' ('"the benefits that are provided to individuals and society by the aurora"), and that there's a word for the part of the Earth system that is made or modified by humans: the "anthroposphere".

A new paper with Artemis Skarlatidou - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1462901124001886 How can bottom-up citizen science restore public trust in environmental governance and sciences? Recommendations from three case studies. #CitizenScience #CommunityScience #Trust #Environment #Coproduction
• Citizen Science has the potential to restore epistemic trust.
• We identify key cognitive and affective trustee attributes to improve trust through CS.
• If these are ignored CS will erode public trust further.
Migrated account #introduction 
I have been on the fediverse for about a year now, enjoying the less algorithmic and more personal, deliberate interactions!
This is my me-in-work account where I think about ... #systemschange and #systemsthinking, #socialinnovation, #publicservices, #socialjustice, #facilitation, #inclusion, #coproduction and #involvement, #complexity, #relationshipcentred approaches, and #kindness as a principle of public services.
I'm in Wales and also French. 
Life is a bit shite but this weekend has been a joy & reminded me why I do what I do. Just back from a brilliant writing retreat with the fabulous Anna from Ewen’s Room & our exceptional young peer researchers, Isla, Lyca and Lisa (+my colleague Sara not pictured). We now have a great 1st draft, genuinely & properly co-authored. So proud of what we’ve done & so touched by the trust shown & shared. #academicchatter #coproduction @sociology

Confirmed my post has now been made redundant. Anyone knows of any jobs in #coproduction #community #Researchin #Highlands #Scotland please hit me up.
Reposted so public... at this point I need all the help I can get.
New account #introduction 
I have been on the fediverse for about 8 months now and enjoying having a personal profile with art and cats and the odd beetle popping up. 
I'm on sabbatical right now and (in between making jam and planting tomatoes) I'm increasingly thinking about work things and where I want to point myself when I go back in the autumn/winter.
#systemschange and #systemsthinking, #socialinnovation, #publicservices, #socialjustice, #facilitation, #inclusion, #coproduction and #involvement - are in my thinking hat. Also #complexity, #relationshipcentred approaches, and kindness as a principle of service.
I'm in Wales and also French.
(Edited to add #

Back in the field in preparation for delivering research training to peer researchers. Fucking love my job!

I've been reminded that I failed to do an #Introduction, so here it is:
I'm Liz Ellis a PPDR (1st P for perpetual) at #UHI in the #Highlands of #Scotland. My background is #Sociology and #DisabilityStudies.
This account will post about #Coproduction #PAR #CommunityEngagement & to boost my academic baby, #CoProSS, the #copro summer school I organise.
Other academics have dogs or cats, I have the summer school.
Name will revert to my own in the summer.
Greatuitous boost:
https://www.uhi.ac.uk/en/research-enterprise/res-themes/health/rhw/research-and-social-change-residential-workshop/
If you, want to learn more about the practical aspects of #coproduction and develop a workable #copro approach to a specific project, then come to our summer school!
We do have activist rates and some (limited) group booking rates. We've had great feedback from previous participants
If you could share to your networks, and BOOST on here, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks, Liz

Take a lesson from Beryl; go for it! 
Do the thing you've always wanted to do and see where you end up...

A bit about me. I'm on the third pivot of my career. I started out working in international development (Peace Corps, then DC-based consulting). Then I went local and worked for a city-county unified government (Athens-Clarke Co, GA). 12 years ago I started my first faculty job at #ClevelandState. I moved to #UniversityofOregon in 2016. I study local government management. Lots of #coproduction scholarship and some #crowdsourcing. And finally some #publicbudgeting stuff too.
Ok #introduction given I've moved instances to FediScience - I'm currently associate professor of health psychology at University of Leeds. I typically lead #behaviourchange intervention development workpackages on NIHR programme grants for applied research, usually doing a bit of #knowledgemobilization and #coproduction - currently working on antipsychotic switching, TB & depression, distal upper limb pain and aphasia. Trail runner when not injured. Self-manage #bronchiectasis
