So, I may not be able to teach this year, and having lumps of sick time for chemo recovery, although hoping next day or two I’ll be back working at home, just clearing a few untidy decks after the last 11+ days of nausea. I REALLY don’t want to do the next chemotherapy, but obviously I will…

I have, however, chatted to Breast Cancer Care, and they’ve put together a blog post based upon some of what I’ve posted on this blog about Breast Cancer + a few extra convos, about some ideas to help those who are going through treatment (especially with Christmas coming up, most of mine I’m likely to be bedbound, and unable to spend with extended family as planned):

No Comments on [MMU] 7 Questions on Becoming a Media Expert for @business_mmu

Over the last few years, I’ve been fortunate to engage with some good media coverage related to my research, so was asked to respond to a few questions by the MMU press team, to encourage others to take up the opportunity too.

The questions were:

How has the training helped you and how have you applied what you have learnt?
Why is talking to the media important or useful to you as an academic?
How do you prepare for interviews and talking to journalists?
What is your favourite thing about talking to the media?
What is the most challenging thing about talking to the media?
What is the best media experience you have had?
What is your top tip for dealing with the media?

You can follow the responses here (also as a Word file):

No Comments on [MEDIA] Nativity on the Net on @BBCRadioSolent

I was interviewed by Zoe before Christmas, and this is now being played out across various local BBC Radio stations today, about Christians promoting the nativity – on the net.

* 13 minutes in, strange to hear the #PremDac15 awards music (a conference that I’m involved in organising)!

* 23 minutes in, time for Guardians of Ancora (a project I did a small amount of work for)

* 33 minutes The Lord’s Prayer video ‘banned’ in cinemas

* 39 minutes Nativity on the Overground

* 42 minutes Church of St Cross, Winchester

* 47 minutes 90 seconds of Bex’s interview
