As an advertising student, I was interested in the influence that Facebook communities have on supporting and advising breastfeeding mothers.

Matt offers up an innovative landslide monitoring system that combines state-of-the art IoT and data analytics and an intuitive front-end interface, with the main emphasis of his work on the latter. In collaboration with Bournemouth Borough Council, a pilot of the system has been deployed at the site of the East Cliff landslide. Matt says: &#8220;the system was able to provide local authorities with a new means of efficient and remote monitoring, whilst also being a cost effective solution&#8221;.\u00a0 Speaking about taking part in Posters in Parliament, Matt said: &#8220;It was an amazing experience to be part of and an honour to co-represent BU&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Posters in Parliament is the precursor event to the national <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southwales.ac.uk\/bcur19\/\">BCUR 2019 conference<\/a>\u00a0on 15-16 April, this year being held at University of South Wales, where a number of BU students\u00a0across all faculties are due to present and share their leading research.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>IMAGE &#8211; Mimi Simpson, BA (Hons) Advertising\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two BU students attended the Posters in Parliament event at Portcullis House, London on Thursday 7 March 2019. \u00a0BA Advertising student Mimi Simpson represented FMC sharing her research \u00a0on&#8217;How do breastfeeding gen Y mothers participate in online mothering communities as a platform for breastfeeding information and support&#8217;. &#8220;My research was developed as a result of&#8230;  <a class=\"excerpt-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/2019\/03\/18\/bu-students-present-work-in-parliament\/\">Read more &raquo;<span class=\"sr-only\"> about BU students present work in Parliament<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1201,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1201"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10142"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10168,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10142\/revisions\/10168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
