Was really great to collaborate with my supervisor, and other Derby students on this commentary. Also my first as a correspondence author!

We looked at HPV vaccine uptake in boys 👇

The use case makes no sense to me. If I wanted something that misunderstands a paper but confidently, I could look on Reddit or twitter

Increasingly baffled by "AI powered" summaries and searches on academic papers. firstly, the abstract is the summary, secondly if I need to understand something about the paper, I can read it? if I need to find a specific phrase ctrl f does absolutely fine

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

I feel as though the solution to lots of researchers needing PPIE groups to satisfy funding requirements isn't using AI to generate plausible sounding insights

This seems bizarre to me, and perhaps due to viewing lived experience as simply a matter of whether people fit in one box or another.

spent the day in town. got some yellow paint testers for the kitchen and some heather and other random plants for the garden. definitely feeling much more relaxed!

I'm taking a week off work. my supervisor has insisted that this also means no PhD work. I have taken myself out to Kent's finest cathedral city to remove the temptation to look at any work

Hopefully in the final stretch of initial screening, just fighting off boredom with music now.

Understanding barriers to influenza vaccination among parents is important to improve vaccine uptake among children The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered public perceptions of vaccines, particularly among parents. In high-income countries like the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia, factors such as misi...

Proud to share that MHPN members Stephanie and Daniel have recently published the study ‘Understanding barriers to influenza vaccination among parents is important to improve vaccine uptake among children'. 

Congrats to both on this great work.🤩 

A box from Drumeo that contains a QuietPad. The box is black and has colorburst on the front with a stylised explosion of colour in orange, pink, blue and purple

inside the box is a mint green quiet pad

Other than studying I attempt to learn various instruments. New practice pad for drumming 🔥

Uh, hi, make yourself at home

In February 2024, I wrote Scientific Reports about a published meta-analysis claiming that mindfulness interventions affect neural plasticity, 'cementing the neuropsychological basis of mindfulness-based interventions'.

The paper was retracted yesterday—here a little summary of the process.🧵

People think social media is done by interns

Also the platforms themselves, they track you across sites. TikTok has a very uncanny ability to surface content sometimes. So someone might be looking at legitimate information online, but then get a bunch of poor quality mental health videos in their FYP

I think there are multiple issues here. One is that people will sometimes give advice without being clear it's only based on their own experience. Another is that social media encourages short snappy engaging content and that conflicts with providing good information.

The problem is that mental health services in this country are not very well funded and for more complex types of therapy people have to wait. What are they going to do in the meantime? Look for information online

Oh my god

It went well! I need a rest now though!

Chairing this today! looking forward to it 😊

There was a sense that if a bath and a walk hadn't made you better then you weren't trying hard enough
