Misinformation: It's not flight, flight or freeze - add fun - it might just make you feel a little better. Read my latest blog on the 3F's fallacy correcting potentially dangerous wellbeing misinformation: https://t.co/iuThWU5pA9 @DerbyUni @365dayscompass @NationalCouncil

I wrote an article for this month's @BPSWestMids newsletter. I talk about what it's like to throw yourself in at the deep end by starting out as an academic whilst undertaking a PhD. Thankfully, I'm fortunate enough that @DerbyUniPsych have made it a positive experience!

[BPS West Midlands @BPSWestMids]

First up:

'Embracing the transition: Insights from a PhD student turned new academic' by @MeganLMB

An article on on what it’s like to stay in academia and identifying the need for balance but the worthwhile outcomes of sticking with it 🧠📚🎓

New research links "dark" personality traits and left-wing authoritarianism with environmental activism, suggesting motivations may include both altruistic and self-serving aspects. https://t.co/KALP516IMk

Brianna was a beautiful young woman, whose family describe the love & laughter she brought to those around her.

Robbed of her life, now bigots in the media deny her identity & use her deadname.

Even in death trans people are denied the freedom & dignity they are owed in life.

Reminder that to be a practitioner psychologist in UK, they need to be accredited by HCPC not BPS.

As the Wayfair conspiracy goes viral again on TikTok, I want to examine the culture of conspiracy theories on the platform.

Conspiracy theories aren’t just occasional, random videos on TikTok, there is an entire creative economy which supports them.
