This time I’m chatting to Taryn Bell (Organisational Development & Professional Learning, University of Leeds), who’s another of our contributors to the recent research culture special issue. We talk through Taryn’s varied career in archaeology and more recent efforts in researcher development. And it’s the latter of these which forms the focus of her paper The More the Merrier: Approaches to the design and delivery of professional development for researchers in UK higher education institutions, which we explore in some detail. We discuss the benefits and challenges in organising researcher development events, targeted at specific seniority levels or broadly accessible alike, along with danger in assuming anything about the age of scholars at different career stages. Along the way, we talk about Taryn’s publishing experience, focusing especially on dealing with reviewers, but also in terms of positive experiences too. We close out our conversation as always with advice for early career scholars about publishing and crafting their early articles.
