This is an extremely good lecture - the enormously impressive @AmandineGarde examines and challenges sharp practices within food, alcohol and tobacco industries from a legal perspective.
It's being recorded so worth watching when you get the chance

[Cambridge Psychiatry @psychiatry_ucam]

Do you ever wonder why we eat what we eat? Or how we can optimise these behaviours? And why does it all go wrong? Join our study with @healthneuro @paulpcf22

1/10 I’m excited to announce that the first paper from my PhD work is now out in #Neuropsychologia https://t.co/bWWoHb7ORn. Together with @PaulPcf22 @NeuroCog @KatePG and Christoph Teufel I looked at predictive processing in #autism.

[Maggie Westwater, PhD @maggieeastfire]

Thrilled to share that our work examining the effects of #stress on inhibitory control in binge-eating disorders is now out in @SfNJournals 🎉🧠

🧵 on the key takeaways to follow ...

[Maggie Westwater, PhD @maggieeastfire]

Ahhhh my fMRI study on stress, inhibitory control and binge-eating disorders was just accepted at #JNeurosci !!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[Behaviour Change by Design @BehavChangeDsgn]

We are looking forward to presenting our work this week at the #UKSBM2021 conference! Here is a schedule of @BehavChangeDsgn talks. @Clarke_NC1 @labrocklebank @J_P_Reynolds @IlseLee

The @psychiatry_ucam team have very kindly posted this interview with me on their website. Have a look, I assure you it will not offer a weak ray of hope or positivity but may torture a wry chuckle out of you.

Congratulations Maggie!

[Maggie Westwater, PhD @maggieeastfire]

Thrilled to share that I passed my PhD viva today! 🎉 🎉Thanks so much to @LucyCheke and Karin Foerde for leading a fun & stimulating discussion and to all of the friends, colleagues & mentors who have supported me for the past 4 years 🙌

[Micah G. Allen @micahgallen]

We will also be running this in the SPICE study of gastrectomy, obesity, and eating with our colleagues at @HealthNeuro and @psychiatry_ucam. And if course we will be looking at respiratory interoception in a whole array of other populations.

[Paul Fletcher @PaulPcf22]

Really nice paper outlining the perils of treating the abstract mathematical model as though it were a worldly entity and thereby, inadvertently, "smuggling in unwarranted metaphysical assumptions"

(of course, this form of epistemic legerdemain is not the sole preserve of FEP)

[Paul Fletcher @PaulPcf22]

Great initiative, great programme

[Paul Fletcher @PaulPcf22]

Just saw that my hugely-valued colleague and friend @HZiauddeen was named "Communicator of the Year" by the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
I'm horribly biased but anyone can see that this is such a well-deserved award.
