The British Psychological Society Division of Occupational Psychology

Attended an excellent talk last week by science writer and journalist David Robson at The British Psychological Society's London HQ, looking at how to effectively communicate psychological research/practice to a wider audience. So much food for thought on how to combine my previous career in journalism with clinical psychology through writing narrative-driven articles to disseminate psychological research in captivating ways.💡 Thank you to The British Psychological Society Division of Occupational Psychology for organising - now to set up a Google Doc for pitch ideas!
