@JustinCYang @durham_uni @ESRC @StaceyPope20 @DUSportExSci @DurhamSociology @SHIjournal Thank you, Justin! Hope you're enjoying life at UCL- would be good to catch up soon x

[Durham University @durham_uni]

New research by @HesterBoyers @StaceyPope20 & Kim Jamie from @DUSportExSci & @DurhamSociology, in @SHIjournal suggests combining two seemingly opposing approaches to health management could better support some #eatingdisorderrecovery 👉 https://t.co/6NLBkiBGie @ESRC #DUResearch

There is a new report claiming that observed declines in youth #mentalhealth since 2012 is due to the rise of #socialmedia. I don’t often criticise research online, but given the escalating policy discussions & public concern I think it’s important to unpack this further 🧵 1/9

Resource to raise awareness, start and support productive conversations around how we can shift some practices around body composition in sport @madigan_sharon @Anthropom_Irl @DM_Logue @shotsmmc @ValerieMHayes @eimeardol @JoAnneBrowne @LuisaPVargas @durham_uni @DUSportExSci

I was worried for a bit, but it's ok. They have developed a 'milk tea addiction scale', which will help guide how 'Policymakers should tackle youth milk tea addiction through public health strategies and regulatory measures.' Thank god for that!
