🚨 Thrilled to share my PhD paper just out in PLOS ONE! We developed & validated the concrete and abstract thinking (CAT) measure - an accessible, reliable tool to assess abstract thinking linked to rumination & worry. @oxexppsy.bsky.social #paramedicmentalhealth dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

The second paper of my PhD is now out in the world! It is a longitudinal study exploring if intolerance of uncertainty predicts generalised anxiety. Thanks to @profhelendodd.bsky.social, @jmorriss.bsky.social, @hollyrayson.bsky.social for all your support doi.org/10.1016/j.janxdis.2025.103004

I currently have two fully-funded PhD opportunities in my lab - both providing a chance to work on the incredible LEAF data set that we have been collecting the last couple of years (220 children followed longitudinally from 10-30 months on measures of attention and early EF). Please share!

We are setting up a network of schools across England that are interested in mental health research. Schools get lots of benefits on top of being involved in cutting edge mental health research. Schools and researchers, do get in touch! [email protected]

It’s vital that researchers with lived experience are at the heart of #mentalhealth #research. The #MHRmap helps researchers share their #research interests and connect with each other. Can you help us reach more researchers with lived experience? 📌 mentalhealthresearch.org.uk/mental-healt...

Philosophers of Mind and Cognitive Science, come to Oxford! Closing date for applications is 18 December 2024 www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DKV033/a...

This is a beautiful piece about loss and grief.
