What the REF?!
A new podcast to demystify the REF
What the REF?! is a new podcast that will investigate issues around research culture, recognition for success in research and all things and everything to do with the REF. The REF is an amazing driver of research culture change. The goal of this podcast is to get more people to engage with it. Every fortnight we will discuss new subjects and talk with experts on the REF, research culture, hidden roles and non-traditional outputs.
Our hosts are all members of the Hidden REF committee based at the universities of Southampton and Bristol: James Baker, Gemma Derrick – a self-confessed REF junkie – and Simon Hettrick, and our producer is Ben Thomas.
If you have a question about the REF that you would like us to answer, or an idea for the podcast, let us know at WTreF@hidden-ref.org, BlueSky or Linkedin.
Listen to What the REF?! on YouTube or wherever you usually find your podcasts.
