Please help us recruit participants for this important study!

A sunny beach day to celebrate Tally's 13th birthday. Life with a senior dog is so much sweeter.

Really important work.

School night, full moon campout.

Slightly complicated by a dog who knew we were only 15 minutes up the hill from the house, and kept trying to take herself back home.

Great to see latest analysis from Campaign to End Loneliness - the work they’ve done distilling loneliness data and research for people to use is so vital!

Glad to be hearing from our third working group on #PublicHealth , co-led by Nicola Cogan and Emily Long! Fascinating insights suggested practices to tackle #student #mentalwellbeing !

Perspective (after a very annoying day at work).

Am I reflecting on research ideas, grants, and papers, or just skiving?

No one knows.

So jealous of everyone at home getting ready to watch the #SolarEclipse2024 . We got to experience totality in the Tetons in 2017. Easily one of the most moving experiences I've had.
