After the release of the latest report from the UK Covid Inquiry, we've had time to reflect on its findings and have noticed remarkable similarities between its conclusions and what our participants were all telling us right from the beginning. Read it here: cv19heroes.com/2025/11/24/t...

£37bn a year. Let that sink in.

A great first day at the @royalsociety.org today as part of the #PairingScheme25 listening to some interesting talks about the good work of the society and interfacing with policymakers. I feel very lucky to have been selected for this year's scheme. A big thank you to all the organisers!

I don't know who needs to see this, but for some autistic people, remote work is a necessity... not a perk. Of course, it won't be possible in every profession. But when feasible... it should be a required accommodation for autistic people who need it.

1/We analysed GP Patient Survey data from>750K people in England: Around 1 in 20 people had #LongCovid & nearly 1 in 10 were not sure if they have it. We did adjusted analysis by social & demographic attributes to find out who's more likely to have LC or is uncertain about it. Here's what we found🧵

Comes to something when a Labour government would rather punish the most vulnerable of our society, cut the legs out of the NHS, and force universities into redundancy before taxing the rich. Or entertaining the idea of reclaiming fraudulently lost money from Covid contracts, loans etc.

We're in London today with a big old bus to tell our Govt this country cannot afford cuts. Instead they should tax us, the super rich. A 2% wealth tax alone could raise up to £460mln a week. @Keir_starmer - invest in a fairer economy. Patriotic Millionaires say Tax Our Wealth

Politicians who deliberately lie could be forced from office in Wales, under new “globally pioneering” proposals to restore people’s trust in politics.

I've had a top few days in the Psych department at UL with the most excellent @elainekinsella.bsky.social. We've made great headway on the @cv19heroes.bsky.social 5 Year Survey and future funding plans. Amazing what two people can get done with some dedicated time! Thank you for having me, UL!

Sitting at the airport waiting to spend the next few days with the excellent @elainekinsella.bsky.social planning the next steps for @cv19heroes.bsky.social and beyond. Very grateful for the @cawr-cmu.bsky.social funding to support this trip and its associated plotting. Thank you!

Science advances our economic, physical, and social and cultural wellbeing, and is key to a sustainable future. However, we live in times of great change, and the values that have driven science for the benefit of humanity are under threat. Read our statement here: royalsociety.org/news/2025/02...

Very chuffed to get the snazzy new Covid JN.1 booster today. I'm lucky I'm able to afford to pay for them as carers seem to no longer be eligible for free ones. If only these were more widely accessible for those that want them.

The @cv19heroes.bsky.social megathread is back! It's actually a bit 🤯 to see the volume of work @elainekinsella.bsky.social and I have produced from this project with zero grant funding (hint hint). And there's plenty more to come too! 📅 Our 5 Year Survey launches in March

As one deadline on a grant application passes (submitted - phew!), I find myself drafting another because I apparently never learn. There really is nothing like having to chase grant funding to make you feel unproductive as an academic 🫤 Still, I have some christmas cheese left, so there is that.

The #PHM2025 conference will be held at @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social This brings together those from health psychology and related fields from across Ireland and further afield. Keynotes are Prof Martin Dempster & Prof @susanmichie.bsky.social. Abstract submission open! bit.ly/4fNFUD7

Acknowledge that emotions like sadness are temporary experiences that naturally pass through our consciousness. While maintaining awareness of these feelings, cultivate an environment that welcomes joy, understanding that both emotions serve important functions in our mental well-being.

🧵This is a thread about Reply Guys. I like it when posts go viral coz I'm a big show-off and the internet is responsible for most of my career. When you go viral you get new followers, fun replies, sometimes even industry interest omg. But you also get: Reply Guys.

My recent following has grown rather starkly (notifications off for now - iykyk) thanks to being added to two starter packs - one on mental health in medicine, and the other on academics with dogs. So, to please my new following, here is Martin demonstrating the value of self care on a snowy day.
