Prof Glynn Lyonns and Dr’s Juliet Jain and Tilly Line are leading the activity to better understand this bottom up innovation driver in an industry that is dominated by top-down incrementalism.

Uploaded on June 26, 2008 by Phil Hawksworth Yesterday was spent in Manchester at the NESTA launch of their latest report (pdf not live yet) into innovation in the Creative Industries. From a broad reading of the report, it seems to largely reflect last year’s report that much innovation in industry isn’t recorded in official… Continue reading Hidden Innovation in the Creative Industries
Impact of perioperative hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the quality of life of maxillofacial patients who undergo surgery in irradiated fields
On the 8th April, I blogged about an article being accepted for publication in the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Today I received the digital object identifier (DOI) can be used to cite and link to electronic documents. The DOI never changes which makes it an ideal medium for citing articles. The DOI… Continue reading Impact of perioperative hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the quality of life of maxillofacial patients who undergo surgery in irradiated fields

Publishing Ethics – who should be named as an author?
People not involved in research may consider this a silly question, as the answer is obvious: the people that did the work or at least wrote it up for publication. But what happens when lots of people did something, or there is a senior member of the department who historically gets their names on the… Continue reading Publishing Ethics – who should be named as an author?

The title of the article is: The Impact of Peri Operative Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on the Quality of Life of… Continue reading International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Conference
What should you expect when you attend an academic conference? I guess the first thing to say is that to date I have only been to one conference when I have not been presenting either a poster, or giving an oral address, and usually I am doing multiple things. So I have relatively high expectations… Continue reading Conference

The event was streamed to the SGI island in SecondLife but I can’t find a link to the slides or any recorded version. The first session was kicked off by… Continue reading Serious fun in Coventry, part the first
CV enhancement – the reason junior medics/researchers submit abstracts to conferences
It has been the case for quite some time that a medics (Doctor) CV is greatly enhanced by the addition of published research. Ideally ‘published’ means an article in a high powered peer review journal. But it is not until you have been doing research for a year or two that it really strikes you… Continue reading CV enhancement – the reason junior medics/researchers submit abstracts to conferences
