I recently joined colleagues from MedComms Experts Sermo and Figshare in a podcast about how you expand audiences for research, by integrating third party platforms into your #medicalcommunications strategy. Read / watch / listen to our tips: blog.growkudos.com/news/how-third…

The US government is trying to "cancel" diversity by defunding and censoring any research that even mentions words such as "diversity" or "inclusivity". I've blogged about why this is bad not only for scientific progress but also for the economy. scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/03/03/dei…

Every time I hear you say it, I wonder what the logo would be Matt Williams Well, ChatGPT has this to offer. I think it would look *splendid* on a football shirt, what?

Really is amazing what you can knock up online eh Matt Williams! 🎩⚽️

Omnichannel in medical education: how to make strategic decisions. Our latest blog posts explores how companies like Johnson & Johnson are using Kudos to manage #omnichannel #communications #strategy #medicaleducation blog.growkudos.com/news/omnichann…

I've just blogged in @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social about why explaining research to a rubber duck could be the secret to clearer thinking and better communication. (Thanks to peter arbuthnott for introducing me to this brilliant concept!) scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/04/24/rub…

Very excited about working with Oxford PharmaGenesis to accelerate our mission to explain pharma / life science / biotech research in plain language, and accelerate its impact. Thanks to the team there for all the inspiring discussions that have led to this collaboration!

Kudos is rapidly expanding in pharma / medcomms; DavidLSommer and I are really excited about having Richard on board to help us steer and accelerate that. But will massively miss Melinda's vision and inspiration on a day-to-day basis! Thanks Melinda and welcome Richard!

Happy #MedComms day! Here are some of my recent contributions to the field!

I really do think #medcomms are worth celebrating so thanks ISMPP for giving us a day to focus on doing that! I've celebrated by writing a piece about how you can get more ROI out of your medcomms content 👇 See this and all my recent pieces at blog.growkudos.com/news/tag/medco…

Very excited that we can announce this. Work is well underway. A huge deal for Kudos, helping make research more transparent and more easily understood. Congratulations Sarah Mustapha and DavidLSommer for developing this strong new partnership for Kudos.
