🇬🇧🔌We need your help! If you’re interested in #CommunityEnergy, being part of a community energy group, have experience with local energy decision-making, or research these issues, we’d love you to join us for a series of short online workshops! 👉 Find out more about the project: buff.ly/o9Ohc0m

The “overdiagnosed ADHD” debate continues… but here’s what late diagnosis looks like for many women: ❌ Years of criticism ❌ No support = low self-esteem, guilt and shame ✅ Diagnosis = clarity, healing and feeling like life is more worth living This matters. So does the research #AuDHD

The time for disability justice, as it always has been, is now. Disability justice underlines and ties together all anti-oppression movements. If you want to learn more about #DisabilityJustice and how you can support disabled communities, any of these 18 books would be a good place to start!

I’m involved in this project and it’s great!! Get in touch if you’re interested 🌱

Has your #school considered #AirFilters? How would it affect your #AirQuality and #energy use? Help us design a tool for schools to easily see the costs and benefits of installing #HEPA filter units in their setting. Read more: bit.ly/40bzWpO #CHEPA (Classroom HEPA), from the #SAMHE team. 🍎

Such a brilliant project and example of how to effectively and meaningfully #InvolveYoungPeople in research 👏👏 @dr-know.bsky.social @drrhysarcher.bsky.social and all 🤩 #MentalHealth #PPI #PPIE #Coproduction

Really happy to be able to start sharing outputs from Youth LIVES! It’s been an incredible project co-creating research proposals with young people! More coming soon #coproduction #citizenscience #ppi #mentalhealth

Really excited to get started on this project!

Thanks so much for coming!

Brilliant project and a great webinar yesterday @drrhysarcher.bsky.social @dr-know.bsky.social! #InvolveYoungPeople #PPI

Woah, what an evening! Started with hosting YouthLIVES (www.sei.org/projects/you...) celebration event with the fab @drrhysarcher.bsky.social where youth researchers, funders and 'old' researchers talked about their experiences, and ended singing in York with the equally fab #PoolBridge choir

Thank you to everyone who attended! It was a brilliant event hearing from our researchers and youth researchers! Info on our outputs coming soon!!

This is tomorrow! Email [email protected] for a place! #coproduction #mentalhealthresearch #citizenscience #codesign #youthmentalhealth

That's the exact issue, that slight misalignment between language and the conditions they're alluding to which further obscures and stigmatises (actually) autistic people or those with OCD. Some will take it as a definition of autistic behaviour and others will be harmed by the allusion.

#PPI & #coproduction people - any good papers, blogs etc on sharing power & power imbalances in practice?

@ecsa.ngo's position paper on #citizenscience. Give your feedback now: docs.google.com/document/d/1... ECSA wants to advocate further support for citizen science within the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP10). Deadline is Friday, Dec. 13.

Whoop our lovely #schools project is now here! #SAMHE please give us a follow

This is next week! Super excited to playback some of the superb work our youth co-researchers have done. They’ll be there to talk through their project ideas and troll me with the 👵 because I referenced Friends ONE TIME #coproduction #participatoryresearch #citizenscience #youthmentalhealth

Want to know more about our #youth #mentalhealth #coproduction research project Youth LIVES? Check out our graphic by the wonderful Tamara-Jade Kaz and our website sites.google.com/york.ac.uk/y... #citizenscience #PPI #PPIE #sciart

Our #youthmentalhealth #coproduction project is coming to an end and we are having an online celebration event on Tuesday 10th December 5pm GMT! Email [email protected] for an invite [1/2] #citizenscience #mentalhealthresearch

This looks such an amazing project! @katepahl.bsky.social & @drdavidcooper.bsky.social #CoProduction #nature

It's tomorrow! What ethical issues have you encountered in your participatory practice so far? How do you deal with #ethics in your #citizenscience projects? Sounds interesting? Join us online tomorrow for this ECS Collaboration Session 👉 eu-citizen.science/p/ecs-collab...

Lit review from @drkhan-do.bsky.social et al., suggests necessity for researcher innovation in collaborating & communicating research involvement opportunities for diverse communities 👇 Lack of diversity = results not applicable to all populations. @neuro-observant.bsky.social @dr-know.bsky.social

Great paper on #coproduction - echoes much of what we have found through our youth mental health coproduction project Youth LIVES www.sei.org/projects/you...

"the meta-analysis suggested that citizen engagement interventions were effective in improving civic engagement, as measured...statistically..." #RealistEvaluation #Collaboration #Codesign #Coproduction www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Very glad to see this paper out: doi.org/10.1016/j.di... reporting evidence based on the first term of CO2 data from the @SAMHEProject - headline is that adherence to UK guidance for schools is relatively high most of the time; however...

High CO2 levels in the House of Commons today, good job we had our #SAMHE AirGradient monitor with us and knew to open the windows!

Follow these folks - a great bunch of people doing really interesting #sustainability work

"Many participants recognised that they had experienced autistic burnout at different points throughout their lives, often being misdiagnosed with a specific mental health problem (e.g. depression)."

@loottheroom.bsky.social oh hey nice to see you here 🖤

A great summary of how (and why) science is political from Science Magazine: "Given the current political reality and the expansion of attacks on science, it is time for scientists to be more effective, forceful, and vociferous as their own political advocates." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
