Over the moon to share my first publication on the prospective association between sleep and adolescent self-harm! A massive thank you to my supervisors @nkytang.bsky.social, Isabel Morales-Muñoz, and @bagshaap.bsky.social for their constant support and guidance.

Spoiler alert: sleep is important!

Always impressed by the work of my colleague and friend, Yibai, who is conducting some super cool research on joint action and verbal communication! 💛

Also have to admire the shirt she's designed just for the conference!!

“Hi! My name’s Yibai… This study here investigates the effect of Verbal Communication on Joint-Object-Control task…” I might keep repeating this set of words in my dreams proudly tonight 🤣 @sombylab.bsky.social

@mollymccarthy.bsky.social shared her experience and results from her recently completed PhD on self-harm and suicide in NHS emergency departments whereby huge discrepancies in coding practices were observed and ideas to address structural barriers were generated alongside staff and stakeholders!

Some really inspiring insights into an unconventional career path into self-harm and suicide from @rosieallister.bsky.social. Emphasising the importance of not giving up and finding the right balance between flexibility and stability - food for #earlycareerresearcher thought!

This afternoon I shared the (very) pre-lim findings from my final PhD study at the 2025 #EMCRF!

Thank you so much to the organisers for a wonderful first day of the conference - it's been great to connect with so many other #ECR and #MCR dedicated to the field of #self-harm and #suicide

A very powerful keynote presentation from Dr Susan Rasmussen, where she shared her personal journey into the field, including highlights, challenges and lessons.

An inspiring start to the #EMCRF2025!

I have really enjoyed attending the 2025 Midlands Sleep Group conference with my Sleep and Pain Lab colleagues, learning about using #bigdata and #technology in #sleep research, sleep diagnostics, and circadian rhythm research. Thank you to the organisers for running such a great event! 🎉

Always interesting to hear about my fellow lab mate's research on sleep, pain, and physical activity using data from @nkytang.bsky.social WITHIN study project. Peter has found better perceived sleep quality may reduce next-day pain intensity.

Excited to be attending the annual Midland Sleep Group conference in Leicester today. Very interesting talks by @thesleepcharity.bsky.social on motivating societal attitudinal change towards sleep and @thomasbilterys.bsky.social on using CBT-i to manage chronic pain!
