Bravo to Dr David Eckel for completing his PhD at Swinburne University of Technology!! It was an honour to co-supervise his research alongside Prof Glen Bates and A/Prof Steve Theiler. His research stretched my thinking in wonderfully unexpected ways, and I am grateful for all he has taught me.

SO PROUD of Dr Inge Gnatt, who I had the privilege of co-supervising w/Prof Maja Nedeljkovic & A/Prof Andrea Phillipou. She officially completed her PhD this week! Her research has potential to improve treatment for people with co-occurring #EatingDisorders and #PTSD symptoms.

Last week, at #QRMH10 in Budapest, I had the privilege to present a study on the professional experiences of 90 psychologists in Australia w/histories of nonsuicidal self-injury (#NSSI). This important study was led by Sam Dax during her clinical #psychology masters research at #Swinburne.

INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN A RESEARCH STUDY! Many #women & #genderdiverse people survive #violence. My PhD student, Elena Slodecki, is leading a study to learn more about how these experiences impact mental health & wellbeing in #Australia. Click here: swinuw.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Submitted a revision tonight on a paper that has been a massive team effort and labour of love. Crossing fingers for good news soon!

As school comes into full swing in Australia, many families are confronted with very real costs in our "free" education system. In this content analysis, our student Suzie Willis explores the media dialogue on this important topic. Download a free eprint: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/EU6WK...

"It is egregious that a country’s public health agency, or any government authority, should demand the erasure of any terminology, particularly medically relevant terminology." This is censorship of scientists. This dehumanises millions of individuals. We must resist. doi.org/10.1136/bmj....

🧬🦠🧠🥼🧪📈🟦 @ebi.embl.org: Many scientists are worried that vital biomedical data housed in U.S. government databases is at risk. Which aspects of NCBI are mirrored on EMBL-EBI? Do you plan to back up more U.S. data? @altcdc.bsky.social @altnih4science.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

New paper I'm extremely proud of: "Extended time, elevated expectations: The unappreciated downsides of pausing the tenure clock". We argue that extensions should be treated as a safety net, not insurance policy (1/6) www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

📢 NEW PAPER: We surveyed 280 #psychologists in #Australia & found 99% were treating #trauma-exposed clients, but only 60% had formal trauma training during their psychology education; only 41% had training on #dissociation. doi.org/10.1037/tra0... 🧵1/2

Evidence documenting the benefits of #gardening is growing--in this piece, we discuss why access to gardening should be accessible to all & pathways to making this a reality 🌱 www.croakey.org/gardening-is...

I'm partnering with a team of young scholars to learn more about how #discrimination and #trauma affect wellbeing among the #Queer community. We hope you will consider participating or sharing this notice! swinuw.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #LGBTQhealth #QueerHealth #MentalHealthMatters 🏳️‍🌈

My fantastic @Swinburne PhD student, Ruby Hamer, is recruiting #psychologists and #psychiatrists to participate in a study about experiences and needs related to training on #trauma. Please consider participating & sharing this link with others! swinuw.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

📢 NEW PAPER (Journal of Interpersonal Violence): Among 380 women interpersonal trauma survivors, we examined a model that investigated the relevance of emotion dysregulation & shame in the pathway from interpersonal trauma to PTSD symptoms. doi.org/10.1177/0886... 1/4

This is an important read, not only for people doing equity and inclusion work, but also for institutional leaders of the places where this work is happening--it captures the experience of doing this work in these places. www.statnews.com/2024/01/12/r...

I'm a journal Associate Editor & after sending 16(!) invitations, I finally secured Reviewer 2 for a paper! It's a STRUGGLE to find reviewers these days (folx accept/decline for many good reasons) & I never want papers held up in the review process. So much time, heart & labor goes into each paper.

May I never stop feeling the electric zing of excitement that washes over me when I meet with a student whose zest for learning & curiosity are palpable. It is a privilege to be a part of a student's educational experience & to learn alongside them. I had one of these meetings today. 🌟📚
