Something nice in the idea of ‘quiet materialities of care’, as read in Buse et al., 2018. Cotton balls as an example.

Lee (1987) in a prologue on ‘talking organisation’: Garfinkel’s position was that “if the world is organised in these ways, so as to frustrate traditional inquiry, then it is necessary to abandon traditional inquiry, and to examine the basis of sociology’s frustration”. #EMCA

Reading studies with preschoolers interviewed about their various experiences. Lovely paper by Gehert et al. (2021) - what do children learn during sleep/rest time at preschool? Self-regulation? Highlights potential discrepancies between practice intent and practice outcome.

No evidence that socially assistive robots improve quality of life or any symptons in dementia. Systematic review led @ClareYu18 with @atsommerlad @lena_sakure & me. Currently we cannot recommend spending £1000s on pet robots. @UCLPsychiatry

A new study led by MSc student Clare Yu (UCL Psychiatry) shows that there is no clear evidence that people with dementia derive benefit from socially assistive robots.

Writer, conservationist and author of the Bedside Book of Birds, Graeme Gibson had vascular dementia. He could no longer identify the birds in their garden but still liked to watch them. “I no longer know their names”, he told a friend. “But then, they don’t know my name either”.

Like the ‘baby books’ of old, these emails are time capsules – little intimate tidbits and clues of who my child will become, sent off to her future self

https://t.co/imVVRprgEL I thought I'd share a previous article about how an Intergenerational care nursery works after speaking with Judith Ish-Horowicz MBE, owner of one of the first intergenerational care settings in the UK. #EYBlogFest2021 @IshJudith

The integration with their 'grandfriends' helps children learn about the cycle of life and teaches children that sense of time and their own place within the 'chain of generations'.
