In this paper led by @madelinestein.bsky.social we outline how suggestion effects can act as a salient confound in psychedelic experiments/trials (eg one certain NEJM trial ... see paper). We also note how suggestion effects can be harnessed in valuable ways in this domain.

Why loneliness should be treated as a social issue Fighting loneliness means more than self-help. It means rebuilding the social fabric – with spaces, services and support for everyone.

Loneliness needs to be treated as a societal issue, not just one that required psychological interventions, argues IoPPN's @kathrynbates.bsky.social in @uk.theconversation.com

Turns out I'm the same person I was. Do parents need to add value in the workplace?

Another blog post on parenting and working, and being good and bad at both. I swear I will write more about fellowship, ECR, clinical academic things at some point soon.....turns out I have a lot to say about my experience of motherhood. drclemedwards.substack.com/p/turns-out-...

Hospital medics - I’m researching a story about Epic, the supplier of electronic patient record systems. Any views? Let me know on or off the record. #journorequest

Really looking forward to this, building on the learning and work that went into the showcase of creative PPI work we held last year, but this time out of the university and in the community - I think it's going to be an inspiring and discussion-filled evening. Join us!

I'm really looking forward to this! Excited to present the ESM findings in daily life from the AVATAR2 trial and hear about all the other fascinating work in the program.

Great to see this finally out. In this multi-level meta-analysis @madelinestein.bsky.social very carefully distinguished between different types of #suggestion effects and different types of administration methods in the #nocebo literature. A number of familiar findings but also some surprises!

Celebrated IWD with my first (and possibly last 😅) 5k with the twins in the buggy - a 50kg+ effort these days but they were great company - kept telling me to be careful because I was going soooo fast 💪🏼 and insisted on having their straps on just in case 😂.
