I read the blog to keep me informed of up to date and interesting research : )
a.b.barker@hotmail.co.uk
Wherever there is a good Belgian beer and my ipad, is my favorite place to read blogs like this one!!!
Weekdays, in the morning before starting the work in the lab (8-10). That is my time for updating with all the new things on twitter including @researchdigest.
mehrnooshj@yahoo.com
Any day! Usually I read it during the evening hours, when I'm relaxing. 🙂
Since I don't have one of those smart phones I can't read it anywhere but in my room. However, my room is cozy enough! rly_clueless@yahoo.com
Throughout the day on my phone! I am regularly updated with news and interesting facts!

Sat at my computer feeling like I've reached a bit of an impasse with some work, taking a quick look at this blog often gets me looking at it (or my attitude!) from a new perspective…
agoodenough@glos.ac.uk
I read it at about 2am in the depths of my research lab (AKA a dark corner of my bedroom). I'm into economics and love getting ideas from other disciplines.
I love reading the blog on my laptop-wherever that may be. In my room, or in the library at school. It's a great way to keep informed and up to date! This book would make an excellent (and funny) gift for my parents who are very interested in psychology (when I share what I've learned in my undergrad classes)!

“I would read it in a boat!
And I would read it with a goat…
And I will read it in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
They are so good so good you see!
So I will read it in a box.
And I will read it with a fox.
And I will read it in a house.
And I will read it with a mouse.
And I will read it here and there.
Say! I will read it ANYWHERE!”
…. wait.. I may be getting confused with Dr Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham… But I would read BPS Research Digest in all these situations 🙂
greendaydejected@yahoo.com
NB. All rights of the rhyme go to Dr Seuss – I don't claim to have written it 🙂
I read the BPS Research Digest thusly:
WHEN: Whenever it hits my inbox
WHERE: Wherever I am, unless I”m actually teaching or presenting.
WHY: Simply always find value and interesting things to follow up on.
This is one of my priority reads: Goes to the front of the line, because I have come to trust the consistent quality of what you share.
… and that's the truth:)
