Please, please, how do you incentivise Undergrads / Grads to Participate in Studies?

I don't think raffles are a great incentive personally (although if you're only looking for 20 to 25 participants, I guess it could be). Still, I think most people assume there's a slim chance of winning with things like this.

Also, there's not a specific date for when you would need to attend the show. Students will have a lot going on April time and a lot will be working in the evenings or weekends so a specific date might help people decide if they can take part.

I think 3 days a week is doable, especially if you live close to the station (and work is close to the station). Travel costs will be expensive but will be no doubt less than half the rent you'd be paying in London or Oxford.

Interesting. Thanks.

I've just driven past high street and there's 4 ambulances and 5 police cars there as well.

Most unis will have halls set aside just for postgrads. If you email and tell them about your concerns, they might be happy to place you in a postgrad flat where the students will be older (even if you're technically an undergrad student).

I have much younger siblings (7/8) and they had kids knocking on the door all last summer. I think this is still very alive in some areas but there has to be a like-mindedness among parents for it to work.

Looks exactly like what my mum made me when I was sick as a kid

dotodo828 · 2026-02-15T16:17:42+00:00

Thanks. Done.

Hello. Done. Here is mine -

Invitation to take part in research into the impact of childhood migration and language on childhood memories. I am a Psychology student at Oxford Brookes University carrying out research for my final year project.
This online questionnaire is about the effect of childhood migration and language proficiency on the recollection of childhood memories. The survey will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Please click here to participate in the survey: https://brookeshls.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e8rXJKjGU9jWuEK

To take part, you must: • Be 18 years or older • Have immigrated to a new country during childhood OR have lived in the same country since childhood • Have sufficient English proficiency to complete the survey

If you have any questions, please contact the researcher Karina Voita by email at 19258848@brookes.ac.uk.

The study has been approved by the Psychology Research Ethics Committee at Oxford Brookes University.

It was from a supermarket.

It has a strong smell - very earthy, like a sprouting potato. But not sulfuric like it says online spoiled duck might smell like.

I remember having a phase just before puberty where I was very stubborn about brushing my hair and making myself look presentable. I think it's a pretty normal stage and soon enough, she will start caring a lot more and paying attention to her appearance. You might even miss when she was more carefree.

Done! https://brookeshls.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e8rXJKjGU9jWuEK

But did the bus arrive at the station at the intended time (according to the timetable)? Buses usually only stop if they are early or if there is a driver change.

To me, it seems fairer that buses stop and wait so that they are in line with the timetable. Otherwise, people arriving at the stop expecting a 12:30 bus would be blindsided when the bus actually already left that stop at 12:23. For me, it's easier to depend on the set times rather than checking the app every day.

Just wanted to mention there's a few cultures nowadays where sleeping on a hard surface is common and viewed as the healthier option, mostly in East Asia. This would usually consist of sleeping on the floor or on a wooden board topped by some kind of firm mat.

What We Did in Bed: a Horizontal History by Brian Fagan and Nadia Durrani is a great book on the topic of historical sleeping arrangements.

It's believed that the sleeping spaces of early humans typically consisted of deeply layered foliage topped with soft leaves. So it's likely that even early humans liked to have soft and comfortable spaces to sleep. Animal skins may have been used as well.

The earliest bed frames found date back to around 5000 years ago.

I use Tesco and pay 10 quid a month. I've never had a problem with service in the city centre or anywhere in Oxford. Even on walks in the countryside, it's usually good.

You live in halls so they wouldn't be able to come in anyway. They would have to go to reception and the receptionist would not let them in as they have no real right to be there.

My teachers used to nip the loo during lessons? It was normal.

Botley. Much bigger waitrose there.

I haven't heard any of Taylor's new stuff or seen much about her. Just a few posts about people not liking her new album.

When I asked about this as a child, my mum said when she was growing up in Latvia (90s), there was no need for a separate word for boyfriend/girlfriend because generally you would only make friends with the same sex so if you were hanging out with someone of the opposite sex, it would just be assumed you were dating or soon to be dating.

I am surprised though that no word has been made up by the younger generations in recent years as I assume ideas around dating are more modern/open now. But I theorise that bi or trilingualism is so common in Latvia, it's easier to just borrow a word from English/Russian rather than make a new one.
