"Worth doing but not worth having? The influence of personal aspirations and career expectations on the value of a doctorate" by Kay Guccione's abandoned account (University of Glasgow) & Billy Bryan (RAND Europe) in Studies in Graduate and Postdoctoral Education Vol 14 Issue 1 doi.org/10.1108/SGPE-0…

Very excited to have joined the Government's Evaluation and Trial Advice Panel (ETAP)! What Works RAND Europe I look forward to advising civil servants on how robust evaluation methods can add value to their important policies and programmes, from levelling-up to Net-Zero.

"Large-scale research infrastructure . . . is enormously expensive." Is it worth the cost? RAND Europe researchers Billy Bryan and Tamara Strabel discuss the return on investment in #research facilities and equipment through the #UKRPIF fund: rand.org/blog/2023/10/i…

Red teaming is a method used to probe #AI models for new risks, included in the US Executive Order yesterday. What are opportunities, limitations and policy options for effective red teaming? Read our report: rand.org/pubs/conf_proc… #NewResearch #AISafetySummit #Cybersecurity

New book chapter! Putting the ‘Extra’ in Extracurricular: Why Going Off-Script is Important for Life After the Doctorate. All about how work outside doctoral study (e.g. volunteering, paid work) can help students find their purpose, as it did for me. link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Our report exploring UK #earthobservation funding was published last week! We explore how the EO landscape in the UK has changed and how best the funding of that technology should be evaluated 🛰 #space #spacepolicy #evaluation RAND Europe UK Space Agency rand.org/randeurope/res…

Great panel this morning at #WSBW launching the 2024 summit for EO 🛰️ I asked about R&D spend. All panellists said they were planning to increase R&D investment/activity 📈 I wish I had asked about space debris given all this growth!

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Harwell this week with The Foundation for Science and Technology. 🌌 Highlights: 🛰 Visiting Astroscale UK & Europe and seeing their ELSA-M demonstration spacecraft (ELSA-D pictured below) 📡 VR fun at the 5G/6G hub run by European Space Agency Can't wait to return!
