This is the Man Down Cornwall campaign video for 2024. It’s a thought-provoking watch, but that’s exactly what we want it to be.

Far too many men suffer in silence and are not able to talk openly about how they feel about themselves, their lives and the world around them.

The stigma of male mental health needs to end.

Man Down run talking meetings around Cornwall (UK) for men with mental health concerns. Meetings are run by male volunteers with lived experience of mental health. We run these meetings to help men talk to other men in a safe, supportive environment without judgement.

Together we can eradicate the stigma of male mental health.

We want this video to be shared far and wide. We want to make men understand that the trauma effect and the destruction left behind after a life is taken is unbearable and utterly devastating for everyone involved.

We are so very proud to share this with you all.

@LucyMillington3 Thanks lovely Luce! Hope you're really well 🩷

[Grace Ellison @gracellison]

So pleased our paper on bushbaby activity and social behaviour is now available & open access! We present new insights into Northern lesser galago activity and sociality, including one form of affiliation that strongly resembles consolation behaviour 🐒🐒 https://t.co/EGEdRcnJz5

And thank you to all the amazing MMU BSc and MSc students who helped collect behavioural data at Kwakuchinja: @RyanNolan_rsch, @EmBeeest, @aimeewaddicor, Sophie and Maia💚

Thank you to my supervisors and co-authors @CMBettridge, Martin Jones and Brad Cain for all your hard work on this, and especially to Caroline for taking care of revisions whilst I recovered from endometriosis surgery 💜

[Grace Ellison @gracellison]

@EdithCalf @CMBettridge Thank you so much for sharing and for supporting my fieldwork in Fongoli, @JillPruetz - I am so grateful! We will be in touch soon to discuss publishing more important findings from the incredible Fongoli bushbabies 🐒❤️

When the penny drops for you and you wonder how the hell we got here, in large part it’s because arrogant news journalists and radio hosts believed they knew better than David Attenborough and the worlds leading scientists, and didn’t believe this could possibly be true:

Happy #worldpangolinday!

The perfect time to share our new paper about designing camera trap surveys to improve detectability of the elusive #giantpangolin.

@kirstyegraham @BBCNews I woke up to you chatting about it on my bbc news bulletin, so exciting! Awesome paper!

[Grace Ellison @gracellison]

@xaalii @MMUEcolEnv @MMUEngage Awesome news, congrats Xaali!!! 🥂

[Grace Ellison @gracellison]

@xaalii @LouiseJJohnson I hope they're much more on it with yours and others finishing soon @xaalii💜

[Grace Ellison @gracellison]

My PhD viva was over 3 months ago and I still haven't received my minor corrections from the grad school - please tell me this is not normal🙃

[Grace Ellison @gracellison]

@LouiseJJohnson thanks @LouiseJJohnson! I emailed the grad school a month ago and they just said the board have not met to approve them yet. Luckily I have a job but it would really suck if I didn't. Yep @xaalii, classic MMU!

[Grace Ellison @gracellison]

@CMBettridge Ahhh I miss them so much! 🐒

Find someone who looks at you like a modern gelada looks at an extinct giant gelada.

This is so awful 😖 my thoughts are with his family and friends ❤️

[🦭 spættet sæl 🌊 @HarbourSeal]

So Manchester University took an applicants £1k, rejected their application because they can’t make living costs, and didn’t give the money back. This applicant, a friend, then dies by suicide because of his absolute hopelessness of his situation.

It’s absolutely scandalous.
