In our latest research, Thorn discovered that #LGBTQ+ youth place enormous importance on online communities as places for exploration and perceived safety – but these platforms also carry their own risk of harm and risky encounters. thorn.org/blog/new-research-…
Important conversations: recognising, rewarding, due credits!
"Behind every ‘lone genius’ stands a team of contributors... Yet often these team members are rarely recognised as much as they should be."
For #UKRIVoices, @NikOgryzko explores how changing what we reward can improve research culture and break down silos ukri.org/blog/voices-it-take…
Thanks to all attendees of Future of Human Centred Privacy, for the rich discussions and the in-person smiles! Looking fwd to our next steps!
