IU is one of my main research areas so I really enjoyed writing about this paper π
Preschoolers who find uncertainty hard to handle may be more prone to anxiety later in life, but itβs not that simple.
New research explores how intolerance of uncertainty at age 4 links to anxiety, depression & behaviour problems up to age 10.

Other updates: I am now a second year PhD student (scary) and I have finished analysing my qualitative data for my eating disorders sample.
Thankyou to anyone who took part - I feel like I have learnt alot about both thematic analysis and the experiences of those with disordered eating !
Just conducted my first Lived experience interview with an individual who struggles with disordered eating.
Feeling very lucky to be able to use my funding to produce research that represents those with eating disorders π
Hopefully my research will be able to make a difference in some small way!
My cousin also loves dancing fruit. Itβs an epidemic.

Using my maths GCSE pencil case to sit an exam during my PhD⦠it has dust on it. The last time I sat an in person exam was infact when I sat my maths GCSE.
