Happy that the last chapter of my PhD is published. We explored the different effects that of viewing the same fitspiration images in the lab or on Instagram. Instagram seems to be especially potent in terms of body image, particularly for those who already have some disordered eating.

Thoroughly enjoyed a day at the Institute for Health and Care Improvement's research showcase yesterday. Had the chance to share some findings and lessons from a current project with @ercaldwell.bsky.social, meet new people, and learn about the range of coproduced projects across disciplines here.

A great lab day out yesterday to present some research with @gburton221.bsky.social and @ercaldwell.bsky.social at a @tewv.bsky.social research event. Brilliant to hear about the projects being done through the trust and their ongoing commitment to real coproduction. Also got to see some ducklings!

Day two in Edinburgh; looking forward to hearing about the incredible research that is being done across the Eating Disorder Research Network. Any conference with @edaceatingautism.bsky.social branded fidget spinners gets my vote!

Are you interested in marginalization and how this influences eating disorders? We have space for 3 more group members to contribute to a research project on these issues. We have funding to pay for attendance at four meetings; the role can be as involved as you wish. Get in touch for more details!

For me, so much of doing coproduction with young people can be summed up in this photo. We hear alot about outputs, impact, publications, but less about this: hanging out and eating a takeaway. I do really believe, though, that this is the foundation for the rest of it. (1/n)

So fortunate to have the best Masters students. Yesterday Cheryl graduated with an MRes and today she presented her project to our research group. She is an exceptional, reflexive, and considerate researcher and it was such a joy to be her supervisor. Also look at those slides!
