Paolo Mancin's talk just now in #PiBI2025 on the benefits of nature on body positivity and appreciation of the self has reminded me I need to organise my monthly outdoor time for September 🌳

I've found that these walks or visiting fancy houses and their grounds has done WONDERS for my mental health

Yesterday's (and today's) #PiBI2025 had some great talks looking at broadening the research on groups that have previously had less focus - be that culturally, sexual orientation, gender, neurotype, age etc.

Really important work going on! I learnt a lot, very enlightening to hear

No rest for the PhD student - this week is Perspectives in Body Image online conference! #PiBI2025 @persbodyimage.bsky.social

First day was full on, including hearing the journey positive body image has been on with Tracy Tylka (very heart-warming)

@persbodyimage.bsky.social

And finally Joel Bates and Nadia Maalin talked about how minority stress in gender- and sexual-minority individuals may lead to depression where body appreciation and self-esteem are low and unable to buffer the minority stress.
