In July 2024 our preventive intervention was certified so now families can take part for (close to) free! Please think about donating so that next year we can reach more families: our course costs a lot more than we receive at the moment 🙌🙌🙌

Participatory research experts: how have you dealt with language barriers in advisory boards and focus groups? We have academics and clinicians who only speak English and families who don’t feel comfortable outside of German. Tips?! 🇩🇪🇬🇧🗣️

Hi #HiSciSky #AcademicSky. Nice to see some old twitter (and IRL!) friends here. Over the years I have applied neuroimaging methodology to investigate epilepsy, psychosis, dementia/ageing +. Now turning my attention to body focused repetitive behaviours (BFRBs)... after 40 years of lived experience.

Hey, Bluesky. I’ve written a new book. It’s about the messy science of screen time, our relationship with digital tech, and how we can make that healthier and better. I’m excited to be able to share the cover with you! It’s out in March, but you can pre-order now. Details next…

Last week I gave a talk at a fantastic meeting on parental mental health organised by Abby Dunn. Here are my slides: prodo-group.com/data/documen...

Greetings from beautiful Brighton and the parental mental health network conference! Thanks for the invite Abby Dunn and Sam Cartwright-Hatton! 🌊☀️🍁

Looking forward to giving my first keynote at this important event in Brighton in 2 weeks. Thanks for the invite Abby Dunn!

Serious question: where do you get memes and gifs for presentations?! I’m not sure I’m funny enough to make my own…

What a humbling building to be able to teach in! LMU main building named after the student siblings who fought against the Nazi regime.

This might be relevant to those involved in assessment of young people!

On Sept 14-15th we hosted the Munich International Meeting on Parental Psychopathology and (e-health) preventive interventions. Read our blog here and find out how to join our mailing list: prodo-group.com/events/ @belindajplatt.bsky.social @ancasfaerlea.bsky.social

Keen to move my research group over here too, grateful for any invite codes! 🤩

Both the German Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency and my employer, the University of Bremen, leave X / Twitter. They deem the level of disinformation and hate speech there too high for a public institution to be associated with it. www.antidiskriminierungsstelle.de/SharedDocs/a...

This looked like an interesting study about implementation of digital mental health interventions...until I saw the conflicts of interest. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37817270/

I'm looking for freeware to transcribe ca. 30 semi-structured interviews (each 30-40 mins) for a research project. Any tips/recommendations? Thank you in advance!

Kann das nicht genug unterstreichen!! Spreche das in meiner Vorlesungen und Seminare auch an. Absurd, dass wir so viel an den Einstellungen der Kinder arbeiten, anstatt das kranke System zu ändern!

Depressing results in the Bavarian elections. Nationalist party on for 15% of the vote and general trend away from equality and climate protection 😫

Here we go again. I really don't mean to troll the behavioral GWAS community, but this study of vegetarianism finds 1 genome wide SNP, a h2 of .015 and doesn't report a PGS. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Viele Menschen suchen nach einem Psychotherapieplatz für psychisch belastete Kinder, sei es zur Diagnostik oder auch direkt für eine Psychotherapie. Die Versorgungslage ist schlecht, wie komme ich also trotzdem an einen Psychotherapieplatz? 🧵1/n
