I’m really sad to witness X’s slow demise after joining in 2015 as a college student and now reflecting in 2024 as a PhD student. I’ve effectively grown up online 😅 I’m so grateful for the connections and opportunities… so here’s to building an even better community over on ⬇️
@ProfAnnJohn I’m so used to bleak stats but this one feels particularly heart-wrenching. I included it in a seminar last week and had to triple check I hadn’t made a typo 😔
@SarahRoseCrook This is such a lovely thread. I’m by no means a mathematician but these were some of mine & the children’s favourites when I taught Year 1! Lots of discussion to be had 🐧
I’ve taught a fair few seminars, but yesterday I gave my first lecture which I was v. nervous about. I thought it was 😐 at best, but afterward, I received an email from a student saying they “really enjoyed it” & I’d explained a tricky topic in a way they “finally understood”🥲
which is now live! Please do share as far and wide as you can 🖥️
I'm so grateful for the opportunity to work on the project, and thank you, @NicolaByrom, @PriestleyMJ, @HannahRSlack, and @HinaNaela, for being such supportive colleagues. I'll miss you all dearly! 3/3🧵
I've just come to the end of an amazing few months working as a Student Research Fellow on @NicolaByrom's @UBelongProject at @KingsIoPPN. U-Belong aims to understand how different students experience loneliness and belonging at university. Over the past 2 years, Nicola and 1/3🧵
her team have worked with a vast array of students and professionals to co-produce the 'U-Belong Toolkit', a series of interactive guidance pages aimed at supporting different student groups. I've converted these pages into a tangible website, https://t.co/CKKBaAgdNk 2/3🧵
✨CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS✨
@BethanyJCliffe and I are recruiting to a project that is close to my heart! If you are a UK-based doctoral student like me who is (or was) doing self-relevant mental health research, please consider taking part in our survey ➡️https://t.co/KwcRBS15kU
A powerful and visceral reminder: Suicide remains the leading cause of death for people under 35 in the 🇬🇧. As someone who almost became part of this statistic, I urge you—never hesitate to ask someone how they are feeling. Research shows that discussing suicidality (1/2) 🧵
Today we launched our Missed Birthdays installation live on @thismorning 💚
Each balloon represents a young person who took their own life, and a birthday they didn’t get to celebrate. But there’s always hope. Together, we can end youth suicide.
The @childrensociety's #GoodChildhoodReport2024 highlights worrying trends in children's wellbeing. It shows a decline in wellbeing and that 15 year olds in the UK have the lowest life satisfaction in Europe.
We support calls to put wellbeing at the heart of the govs agenda ⬇️
