Covid-19 has had particular ramifications for separated families. It has introduced potential barriers to children seeing their non-resident parents and risks to these parents having the earnings to provide financial support. Using data from the UKHLS Covid-19 study, for June 2020, this paper presents an encouraging picture of more solid relationships and financial support arrangements…Continue Reading Covid-19: Relationships between children and their non-resident parents in the early months of the pandemic

Face Masks and Face Recognition
Face masks present a new challenge for face identification in Western cultures, but we are used to seeing people with the upper half of their face covered by sunglasses. My collaborators and I set out to establish whether face masks present any greater a problem for face recognition than sunglasses. Our results showed that people…Continue Reading Face Masks and Face Recognition
Navigating the Doctoral Journey During a Pandemic
The doctoral journey can be a winding road, throwing up challenges at every twist and turn but the arrival of Covid-19 and the resulting restrictions, created a host of challenges that could never have been predicted and rapidly changed the way we live. For doctoral researchers this meant the closure of university facilities, services at…Continue Reading Navigating the Doctoral Journey During a Pandemic
Caregiving Dads, Breadwinning Mums: Transforming Gender in Work and Childcare?
Despite a gradual increase in fathers’ time with children and its positive effects on families, mothers continue to bear main responsibility for childcare, and fathers for breadwinning. This mixed-methods project seeks to identify routes and barriers to greater gender equality in the home. Funded by the Nuffield Foundation, it investigates opposite-sex couples who share childcare…Continue Reading Caregiving Dads, Breadwinning Mums: Transforming Gender in Work and Childcare?
Collaborative partnerships between the Clinical Research Network and the University of Lincoln, School of Health and Social Care

Both posts are based at the University of Lincoln in the School of Health and Social Care. The social care post, held by…Continue Reading Collaborative partnerships between the Clinical Research Network and the University of Lincoln, School of Health and Social Care
Covid-19 and Probation’s Health Related Practice
The prevalence of many health conditions is higher amongst people under probation supervision than in the general population. Probation staff work in partnership with healthcare organisations to identify health needs and improve the health of people under supervision. During the pandemic, probation adopted an Exceptional Delivery Model, replacing most face-to-face supervision with remote supervision. Using…Continue Reading Covid-19 and Probation’s Health Related Practice
Navigating global collaborative research projects in times of Covid-19
The Covid-19 pandemic is presenting researchers with a range of challenges. One of these is how to successfully execute larger collaborative global research projects, such as an edited book, involving numerous researchers from various countries. During this brief talk, we will discuss some of these challenges that are likely to arise in such a context,…Continue Reading Navigating global collaborative research projects in times of Covid-19

Effects of biofeedback on whole lower limb joint kinematics and external kinetics
Biofeedback (BFb) is a useful tool to accelerate the skill development process. Limited research has applied BFb to the whole lower-limb in a complex skill therefore the aim of this research was to assess the effectiveness of a biofeedback intervention targeting whole lower limb kinematics. Thirty-two healthy participants were randomized to a BFb (n = 16) and…Continue Reading Effects of biofeedback on whole lower limb joint kinematics and external kinetics
