Very interesting evening at the 62nd Maudsley debate, discussing whether the global rise in neurodivergence is due to awareness. I think everyone came out of that debate understanding it is a much more complex matter than simply increasing awareness

Great day at the Faculty of Neuropsychiatry conference at the Royal College of Psychiatrists. I got to present data from my new paper in press in the Journal of Neurology, and listened to a fantastic discussion around assisted dying!

Another great discussion meeting ‘From being to identity: analysis and synthesis of the self’ at the Royal Society yesterday!
Brilliant to hear about work being done around conceptualisation of the self, including a fantastic panel discussion on lived experience of diversity in experience of self.

Still processing what a fantastic experience this was, and how lucky I feel to have attended it! One week of learning, inspiration, and fantastic conversations with wonderful people. Thank you @sarahgarf.bsky.social and @skhalsa.bsky.social for creating such a wonderful and productive space!

completely unrelated to my phd but a few weeks ago i went to sarajevo and i’ve not stopped thinking about how great a trip it was!

sarajevo is an brilliant city with an extensive and harrowing history that it still carries with it but the people, the food, and the spirit of the city was incredible

Really interesting day at the Royal Society for a whole day centred around digital healthcare’s role in the treatment of FND. Great to see talks from Jon Stone, Sahib Khalsa, and Susannah Pick amongst others!
