After an embarrassingly long time spent on my tiptoes trying to put this up…we’re ready! Come and chat with me at D2.043 about the two studies I am conducting with @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social on self-diagnosis. I am also on the conference app if you can’t find me and want to chat! #ESCAP2025

Delighted to have been able to make it to #ESCAP2025 this year! 😍 Amazing weather for it, too! You will find me at the poster stands tomorrow, presenting the postdoc work I’m doing with @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social @escaponline.bsky.social

You have 6 DAYS LEFF to apply to BRIDGE, a 6-month peer mentoring scheme for ECRs to facilitate global collaborations in mental health research!

It is free, remote, and focused in skills development, social support, and cross-cultural networking 👉🏽 mentalhealthresearch.org.uk/bridge/

You still have 2 and a half weeks to submit your application to BRIDGE - but why not apply early? 👉 mentalhealthresearch.org.uk/bridge/

BRIDGE will begin with a half-day online workshop led by a trained coach foused on peer men toring skills and global collaboratin! How exciting is that? 🤩

Day 2 of #MLSFF2025 was special, in several ways! First, I got to meet other Accelerator Award holders and learn about their fascinating projects. Second, I got to catch up with someone I haven’t seen since 2018! And third, I got to meet William and Wayne in person, who edited this brilliant book 🤩

So inspired by the first day of the Minoritised Life Scientists Future Forum 🙌🏽 it’s reminded me of the importance of goal setting and authenticity, as well as having sponsors who champion your work.

A key phrase I’m taking away from today is: what is meant for you won’t pass you by 💡

#MLSFF2025

My PhD student @nataliakika.bsky.social is still looking to recruit parents of teens aged 12-18 years to take part in a 1-hour online interview about looking for mental health information online. These findings will inform intervention development, so we need to close recruitment asap! 🙌

I had such a wonderful time graduating from my PhD last Thursday, and was fortunate enough to be surrounded by my family, colleagues, and some MSc students I got the pleasure of supervising last year.

And the best news? I didn't trip on the stage! 🤣

Feeling super lucky to be in Switzerland for the next few days, delivering a two-day qualitative workshop to PhDs and postdocs at the University of Bern!

❗️Final call to participate❗️

Mine and @bethanyjcliffe.bsky.social’s study on UK doctoral student experiences of self-relevant #mentalhealthresearch is closing at the end of this week! This means you have 4️⃣ more days to take part 👉 uniofbath.questionpro.eu/doctoral-sel...

✨New paper alert!✨

So pleased to see this co-produced paper out in the world, which used qualitative participatory methods to explore young people's attitudes towards seeking mental health information online. Read the paper (for free!) here: doi.org/10.1111/papt...
