Good evening and welcome to tonight's #OTalk Research chat. [REDACTED USER] is on the @OTalk account for the evening and @LynneGoodacre is leading our talk. Who is joining us? Do say hello even if you're just planning to lurk!
#OTalk @OTalk_
I hope that everyone is having a good summer! Is anyone joining us from far-flung shores this evening? #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre

[REDACTED USER] Hey Catherine hope all is well with you lovely to have you joining #Otalk research
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Hello everyone, just back from a celebratory dinner after my son’s exam results today. Looking forward to the chat tonight @LynneGoodacre #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Hello peeps! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Well it might be a quiet one tonight but there's always research topics to explore so we'll get into it shortly. Don't forget to add the # and remember to have fun! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@preston_jenny @LynneGoodacre Sending well done’s from across the pond! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@BillWongOT Glad you could join us Bill. You definitely count as joining us from far-flung shores! #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@BillWongOT @LynneGoodacre Thanks @BillWongOT it’s been a difficult year so now everyone is happy 😂 #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
So shall we get started as people join in Q1 why is it important to develop a range of approaches to communicating research #OTalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@preston_jenny @LynneGoodacre Haha! My challenges have just begun. I can’t believe how much work I have to put in to put up a TEDx event. Now I am telling OT’s- beware of what you sign up for before you apply, it can get overwhelming QUICK!!! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Fantastic that you're all here! Shall we get into the chat? @LynneGoodacre is here to lead us through with Q1 #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q1 from @LynneGoodacre #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ Haha- next week I will be India. Got to figure out what is the local time over there to join. #otalk

@LynneGoodacre
In case you missed it Q 1 was why is it important to develop a range of approaches to communicating research #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LynneGoodacre Because people may have different levels of understandings of our research. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Dissemination of research findings is a key part of developing evidence and we know that people engage with this in a range of different ways. So important to get the messages out there @LynneGoodacre #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Hi Emma [REDACTED USER] don't forget to add the # so we can hear what you have to say #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
Great, who do you have in mind @KimWillisOT #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] Hi Denise don't forget to add the # so we can see your contributions :-) #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
Yep. Who do you have in mind when you think of 'people' #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @LynneGoodacre I heard some live TEDx talks recently where researchers break down research data into layman terms. #otalk

Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Don’t we all [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @LynneGoodacre Like me now as a TEDx curator, I would be excited if an OT comes forward to share his/her research at my program. However, I would CRINGE if he/she shares things that are full of jargon or takes long time to explain. #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
I’m wondering if we can dig a little deeper into people. As researchers who do we want our work to reach #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] Don't worry Denise it's easily done! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@dianecox61 I felt the same way at #caot2018! I would love to be one at #rcot2019! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_

Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@LynneGoodacre Professionals, researchers, educators, students, clients anyone really who has an interest in the development of new knowledge @LynneGoodacre #Otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @LynneGoodacre I am not scared actually. But in my role now in running a TEDx program, I have to think of everyone else. #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
Q2. If you think across all areas of research and all media who would you flag up as great communicators of research #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
This is an interesting thought [REDACTED USER] Do you have experience of doing this? #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@LynneGoodacre I had a really interesting conversation yesterday with a client about the research one of my PhD students had undertaken. She rather surprised me when she said she had been looking for the publications @LynneGoodacre #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
What about the general public? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre Now you can add- “submit it to Bill and see if you can pass the TEDx test.” To the list 😂 #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
Yes always s great test #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
People love to know the outcomes of research theyv'e contributed to, #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q2 from @LynneGoodacre here: #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Absolutely @LynneGoodacre #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre That is why I am crash test dummy for USC’s OT autism research or initiatives. 😂 #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
How do you respond to this type of information? [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
I love the science programme in radio 4 with people like Brian Cox who can take something complex and distill it into something I can understand #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
I also love exploring the Wellcome Trust public’s engagement section of their website, some wonderfully creative approaches being used there #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LynneGoodacre Soon I will become OT version of that on TEDx talks. I can definitely mentor... and we have many potential research that can be featured! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
This is why the 3 minute 'so tell me about your research' pitch can be helpful! [REDACTED USER] #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
Any specific ones you listen to [REDACTED USER] #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@eleanorramsell @LynneGoodacre I think we can be too... we just need some framing support. Now there just need to be more people like me who are not afraid to put their credibility on the line! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
I also keep an eye on things like the Cheltenham science festival and there’s also an event for research’s in pubs and someone involved in the doctoral network is involved in organising the Manchester one #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
And I think those of us who are not into research as much can have roles too. We can be table setters to help our researchers to have seats at the tables we built! #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
Q 3 what are the challenges of communcating research to a non specialist audience #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
I love this idea @dianecox61 ... I've got an image of 'bake off' meets 'statistics' ... it makes me smile! #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
Thanks for the share @POPPED_Project #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q3 from @LynneGoodacre here: #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@dianecox61 [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ With my TEDx event, I am slowly selling to local doctorate programs that they can send their doctoral students for the experiential components of their programs. I will be teaching these students how to build such tables from the ground up! #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Some of the [REDACTED USER] blogs are really helpful (sorry forgot #OTalk with last post) @LynneGoodacre
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@LynneGoodacre Language, relevance, maintaining interest to name but a few #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LynneGoodacre In a TED space, every jargon we might use, we need to take time to explain. It is better to sum up the significant findings in a concise manner. #otalk

@LynneGoodacre
Yeessss thank you @popped_project. I knew someone would know. A real challenge for anyone wanting to try out new ways of talking about research in a pub to whoever turns up on the night #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
What is this @POPPED_Project ? #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
Thanks for the share [REDACTED USER] something to check ou #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @LynneGoodacre And now people got a practice dummy... lol! If I OK it, it should be on a TED application. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Maybe there's something here about a title being a hook? [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
Massive task before you even get to think about the how shall I do it. Bottom lining years of work is so hard #OTAlk. Any tips [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre Maybe it is just me- if you need 2+ minutes to explain a concept, you have lost me. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Fab! #OTalk

Maybe before then it is work out .... in this situation what is the one core message I want to communicate and realise you can’t tell it all. #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre For my second TEDx talk, I had to repeatedly edit how patients come to my work setting in a concise and easily understandable manner. That part I probably edited like 20+ times! #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
Q4 other than PowerPoint and academic writing what do you think are great skills for researcher to learn? Is there a new communication skill you’d love to get your head around #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Sage advice from @LynneGoodacre here #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @LynneGoodacre Yes- a relatable example is good. So think of who your audience might be and then use your creative powers to make it easily understandable and relatable. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @LynneGoodacre In TEDx format... try to shrink it to around 1000-1500 words! #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
Yes an area of growth in all kinds of sectors #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Here's Q4 from @LynneGoodacre #OTalk .... what are your suggestions?
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I’d like to get better at initiating discussions on social media to get more depth #OTalk @LynneGoodacre
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @LynneGoodacre Well- that number is based on what is an acceptable speaking rate x 10-15 minutes! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_

In the 3 minute thesis challenge for a PhD it’s 3 slides and 3 minutes the are YOu Tubes of people doing this if anyone wants to look at how it’s done and local HEIs run their own challenges if you want a go #OTalk

Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
[REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre Me too [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
Oh not just academia @POPPED_Project lots of jobs in publishing and independent sectors where companies want to communicate their research #OTAlk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LynneGoodacre Social media! Platforms will depend on where intended audience are. #otalk

Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@LynneGoodacre Start with Twitter as I tend to post statements or references but happy to consider the range of platforms available #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Is there something that holds you back from doing this @dianecox61 ?#OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
You’re welcome to write a guest blog on my blog @dianecox61 if you want to give it a go #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
Sounds fun what would it be like [REDACTED USER] #OTalk a drawing, cartoon .....
#OTalk @OTalk_
Good point @POPPED_Project ... do you have ideas of how to strike a balance? #OTalk @LynneGoodacre
@LynneGoodacre
Given that things like blogs, videos etc are so easy to try out and don’t even have to go public what holds us back from just experimenting I wonder #OTalk

Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Is it just that seem unfamiliar I wonder @LynneGoodacre #OTalk

@LynneGoodacre
I think this is part of it #OTAlk and concerns about making mistakes or what people might think maybe?
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre Haha- you just need a UK version of me to do what I am attempting to do. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Don't forget to add the # [REDACTED USER] so we can all see your chat responses #OTalk :-)
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
There’s also something for me about watching yourself in a video!!! At least in a paper it can feel a bit more anonymous #OTalk [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre
@LynneGoodacre
Ok some a final question has anyone come across any resources they use that might help us to communicate research differently e.g apps for info graphics etc #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
You're entering 'Throwback Tuesday' realms here @POPPED_Project ... Overhead projectors!!! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre My TEDx event is making me lose sleep! It is so much pressure on me in terms of not just delivering a good show, but also my credibility and own personal finances are at stake. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Gosh folks time is speeding away .... we've just got 5 minutes left of tonight's chat #OTalk @LynneGoodacre
#OTalk @OTalk_
Final question here from @LynneGoodacre #OTalk ... fastest fingers first in our final minutes!!!
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre It is more pressure than a research project because I only have 1 year to run the event. So the whole 9 yards of operating it is crazy. If you have to take on everything by yourself, it will be overwhelming. #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
Hey guys it wasn’t that long ago 😀and the answer is both scribbling and talking and don’t forget the slide project while we're at it and the horrors of dropping the carousel or putting slide in upside down #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
True! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Ahhh the 'good old days' .... maybe we should have a Research reminiscence session!! #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
Radio 4 are also running a thing in creativity at the moment #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre Organizing, speaker recruitment, budgeting, finding professional help (as necessary), script reviewing, making contact with sponsors for funding (since no crowdsourcing), planning line up day of event, preparing for next proposal, etc. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre My head is literally spinning... and the OT community is slower to catch on how serious this operation is than I expected. Many might have heard of TED/TEDx talks, but not many know the heavy lifting behind running one. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Well, 9pm is knocking at the door! Thank you all for your contributions tonight. I hope that you've enjoyed it as much as I have! Thank you to @LynneGoodacre for leading us through #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
Wow that flew by. Thanks so much everyone really enjoyed tonight. #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre And to save some money- I have to run the social media accounts... except for day of the event because I have to run the show from start to finish! #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
And thank you [REDACTED USER] for keeping us all in line #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
If there's anything that you want to refer back to don't forget that the transcript will be posted in a couple of days. Enjoy the rest of your summer everyone! #OTalk
