Understanding Soft Risk in Volunteer EngagementVolunteerMatch
We all worry about the hard risks that can have an impact on our volunteers and the work they do, but too often we don’t think about the soft risk. Soft risks are the attitudes, beliefs and actions that expose our organizations to risks. Those risks may include the actions of staff – both paid and volunteer, interactions on social media, lack of training for leaders and volunteers - leading to risky behavior, and how failing to screen for characteristics or “fit” can open volunteers and the organization up to risk. This webinar is designed to help attendees identify soft risks in their organization and give them the tools to make changes to processes and culture to minimize and address these risks.
What You'll Learn:
* Understand how your organization's culture of volunteer engagement may be opening it up to soft risk.
* Lead your organization though a soft risk assessment.
* Design communication and training plans to address soft risk.

It references bell hooks' argument that being able to manipulate one's gaze in the face of domination opens up possibilities. It then asks what kind of future might be created if the intersection is nurtured as a medium.
This document discusses how to prepare contemporary scholars for global communication in the digital age. It defines digital scholarship as research and teaching enabled by or taking advantage of digital technologies. It defines science communication as using skills, media, and dialogue to increase awareness, enjoyment, interest, and understanding of science. The document discusses why communication is important and provides examples of digital tools to support writing. It also outlines different models of science communication, from one-way deficit models to two-way dialogue and public participation models. It concludes by providing further resources for science communication.

It defines digital scholarship as research and teaching enabled by or taking advantage of digital technologies. Science communication is defined as using skills, media, and dialogue to increase public awareness, enjoyment, interest, and understanding of science. The document suggests communicating to locate key moments of interest in wildlife/conservation and sharing them, and discusses digital tools to support writing as well as models of science communication including deficit, contextual, public engagement, and acknowledging lay expertise.
Citizen science for community developmentErinma Ochu
Public Lecture given at National Museums Scotland as part of the CitSciEd crowdsourcing and citizen science event. The talk gives a whistlestop introduction to the different types of citizen science, drawing on examples from theory and practice before debating the political and ethical implications for scientific research and sustainable community development when the public get involved. References, resources and links are provided at the end.

This document discusses the key elements of transmedia storytelling including story, multiple story forms, multiple media platforms, a unified storyworld, audience participation, game mechanics, social experience, and different levels of engagement. It also briefly touches on how music can be catchy through story, repetition of melodic phrases, and the use of hooks. Tools for transmedia storytelling and links to related resources are provided.
Citizen social science - solving social challengesErinma Ochu
This document discusses citizen science, which involves members of the public collaborating with scientists on research projects. It describes benefits like improved quality of life and decision making through increased knowledge. Examples include crowdsourcing to analyze patterns in nature, and engaging the public to learn about math concepts. Challenges discussed include ensuring data quality, funding, recognizing public contributions, and measuring social impact. Ethical considerations around collaboration, ownership, and reviewing projects are also outlined. References are provided on topics like levels of participation, working at the "edge" of knowledge, and everyday ethics in community-based research.
This document summarizes a citizen science project that engaged 3000 people from Greater Manchester to analyze number patterns in sunflowers. The project had people crowdsource data, provided educational resources on Turing and number patterns, and generated a media story about the results. It discusses lessons learned around building community partnerships and providing support and recognition to contributors. The project created opportunities for post-disciplinary research while expanding its reach and promoting learning.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

13. Getting there
• Vision – 5 years time?
• Reality – what’s your current reality?
• What’s your journey to get there?
• Your are your roles & actions in this?
• Passion: believe in realising that vision
• Get support – coach/ mentor/ peers
• Help, engage & inspire others
• Seek opportunities:

16. Oblique strategies
• What most recently impressed you? What can
you learn from it?
• Back up a few steps, what else could you do?
• Instead of changing the thing itself (i.e. you,
change the world around it)
• Disconnect from desire to achieve
Henry Wellcome’s Cats: The death of one of the kittens, Zipper, is mentioned in Frances Larsen's 'An Infinity of Things' (Oxford University Press, 2009). The news of this event was broken to Wellcome by his trusted colleague Peter Johnston-Saint. After a post mortem revealed the cause of death to be feline influenza, vaccines for the other cats were provided by Wellcome's Physiological Research Laboratories.
