Very happy to share the first paper from my PhD, recently published in Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy! 🥳 We investigated cognitive and behavioural processes in adolescent panic disorder. Read it here: doi.org/10.1017/S135..., or here's a quick summary of our findings... (1/?) 🧵

A quick intro! 👋🏻 I’m a Y3 PhD student at the Uni of Oxford researching panic in young people from a cognitive behavioural perspective - for a 60s intro to my work, here’s a short video I created! www.youtube.com/shorts/DK0xg...

Science misinterpreted again - this time by Australian govt to justify teen social media bans. Our work shows responses to social media vary individually. We never advocated for blanket bans. Happy to engage with MPs on evidence-based policy. Let's get this right! www.crikey.com.au/2024/11/20/t...

I've said this often: the discourse around smartphones/social media for young people is 99% dictated by 'concerned parents' agreeing with other 'concerned parents' about how their 'concerns' are valid, and thus something must be done! That's not how anything should work, but hey ho, I guess 2/15

Delighted to have been awarded the 2024 MRC Max Perutz Award! Had a brilliant time attending the ceremony at the Royal Institution this week, thanks to the organisers for the chance to share my work on panic in adolescence with a wider audience 😊🍾
