Welcome Team! I’m Nova, health psychologist and exercise researcher. My PhD centred on physical activity and body image in pregnancy. My key focus is on exercise for wellbeing but am currently researching psychosocial outcomes of strength/resistance training in perimenopause.

Any starter packs out there for Body Image academics and appearance researchers? Happy to start one if not but struggling to find many of us on here at the moment. @jamiechan.bsky.social?

Anyone else having trouble getting people added to their starter packs? It just took me three goes to add someone to this one.
(If you're in Health Services Research and can't see yourself in either this or the original HSR starter pack 1 let me know and I'll try to add you)

So I've had a go at a Starter Pack thing to see if @nanettemutrie.bsky.social and I can find more #physicalactivity friends who have made the jump across.
Additional tags welcomed and will add
