Happy to be joining Bluesky in the new year! I'm a psychologist, currently completing my PhD in Global Mental Health at King's College London. I'm interested in the intersections of aging research, loneliness, and climate change, particularly in Myanmar. Looking forward to connecting!
Had a great time meeting Prof. Kondo and his lab @kyotouniversity.bsky.social last week, exchanging ideas on social prescribing and the earthquake in Myanmar. Prof. Kondo is also part of the TAG to the @who.int Commission on Social Connection: www.who.int/groups/commi...
Thank you for having me!

So happy to receive the King's Engaged Research Award 2025 for global participatory research🎉
And even more thrilled to celebrate with my friend Bryher Bowness who won the award for national participatory research. Both of our projects focused on #care. Read more here: tinyurl.com/bd66958c #Myanmar

"three critical questions that researchers should ask themselves before conducting research in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs)."
Indeed, these are hard questions, esp. the 2nd one, "Do I have time for slow research?"
