Researchers want to understand which quality of life measures and whether these tools adequately capture what “living well” means.

The recent @mcgillu DeeP‑DD study used wearables and found later wake‑times are tied to higher depression and anxiety scores, while light activity consistently predicts lower symptom levels. #MetabolicMentalHealth #SleepAndExercise arxiv.org/abs/2507.22088

@harvard.edu @stanfordpress.bsky.social meta-analysis on 228 studies shows toxic workplaces harm your mental/physical health as much as secondhand smoke, but no solutions offered. Mental first aid and webinar training are a start, but don’t address the root cause. www.boston.com/news/jobs/20...

I’m a sucker for airport arrival gates. Seeing humanity at its finest - delighting in one another, long hugs, and big smiles. Thank you @aircananda.bsky.social for the safe arrival of my dad, so we can spend a few days together.

Something I hope to foster in my team is the safety & comfort to share a partial draft of a manuscript or a project proposal. Starting somewhere instead of the pressure of perfection. Collaboration is at its best in the messy middle. Let’s start there today #AcademicChatter #phdlife #womeninacademia

1st post on @bsky.app ! Sharing what I know for sure:

✨You have no idea what people are carrying
✨You won’t be for everyone
✨Life is precious
✨The more brightly you shine, the harsher the winds
✨Don’t believe everything people think about you
