For what often feels like the longest month of the year, January seemed to go extremely fast. Maybe it was the flurry of activity around transfers, but suddenly, we now find ourselves in the shortest month!
Here are some of the research and articles that caught our attention at the start of this new year.
We hope you find them interesting – do let us know your feedback, and any suggestions you have for resources, studies or events for inclusion in future bulletins.
