For nearly 20 months, Palestinians in Gaza have endured a relentless campaign of annihilation.

The UK government must meet its obligations under international law and its moral duty to humanity

Speak out. Be heard. BBC newspaper clipping 'Government whip quits over disability benefit cuts'. Guardian clipping 'Labour MPs launch major rebellion to stop welfare bill'. Tell your MP to take a stand against disability benefit cuts. Use Mind's email tool to tell them to vote against these cuts.

Say it louder for those at the back 📢
These proposed benefit cuts are dangerous and are only going to make things worse.
We need to be supporting people with mental health problems, not plunging them into poverty. 1/2

As part of the REWG, I (along with Oxford alum @anabellepauli.bsky.social) co-founded the Race & Psychiatry Journal Club 📚 For more information please see our linktree: linktr.ee/oxracepsych

Incredibly proud of everyone at the REWG, including the Race and Psychiatry Journal Club, for this amazing recognition!

Yesterday I wrote about how Trump's "flagged" word list might block all of epidemiology, and some people complained discussing this was a distraction from bigger issues.

But I think they're wrong. I think inclusiveness is fundamental to epidemiology, and without it we are dramatically limited.

UCL-Wellcome Mental Health Science PhD Retreat 2025 — Mental Health Science The students on the programme share their experience on our 3rd annual retreat!

Time to reflect on our retreat! In January the students of the UCL-Wellcome PhD programme in Mental Health Science were lucky to be able to get together again to share wisdom, relax and reconnect with each other. We wrote about our experience on our blog: www.mentalhealthscience.org/blogs/ucl-we...

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Protestors carry a sheet with a mark for lives lost in Gaza

The true number of people who have died directly from war in Gaza is around 41% higher than the official figures reported by Palestine’s health ministry, a study published in the Lancet has found

Trump’s team wants US out of WHO ‘on day one’

As I said in the piece

I think this would be a mistake

It would leave America without intelligence for future emergencies and weaken our global leadership

We should reform WHO

Not abandon it

Grief Makes Us Time Travelers (Gift Article) A neuroscientist studying memory, I used to believe time was linear. Then my mother had a stroke.

Honored that a piece I wrote made it to NYTimes. It’s about how my mom’s stroke changed my connection to time, science, and nature. What a privilege to honor my mom in Modern Love.

Childhood neglect: the neglected trauma? https://buff.ly/49kmN1K

Dhea Bengardi summarises a systematic review exploring the prevalence of different types of neglect across a wide variety of mental health conditions.

If you want to know more about what is happening in the DR and why read this interview with local activists published by tempestmag.org/2024/10/the-...

The image contains part of an abstract where the results section uses the phrase "was associated with" and the conclusions the phrase "may be associated with"

Results: physical activity was associated with

Conclusions: physical activity may be associated with

The word associated cannot mean the same thing in both sentences.

This is the appeal of the word associated, it can mean anything you want and no one is going to ask you what you actually mean.

It was a pleasure to give a talk about Global Crises and their impact on Mental Health and Behaviour at @magdalenoxford.bsky.social @universityofoxford.bsky.social yesterday.

Really enjoyed the discussions and the clever questions that interdisciplinary environments stimulate.

Other epi disciplines already have their lovely starter packs, so for establishing parity of esteem, here comes the psychiatric epidemiology starter pack 👇
