I had a blast running the Hackney Half for my 35th birthday this weekend. Thank you to everyone who donated - together we raised over £1000 for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity to support people affected by cancer ⭐️

This was a great talk by Lauren Heathcote, PhD on marshalling ‘placebo-like’ mindsets about physical symptoms and the body to reduce anxiety and improve effects of treatments for acute and chronic conditions. #ioppnfestival

Our department @kingsioppn are hiring a Chair in Child Clinical Psychology - a rare and prestigous clinical-research position. Come and join us for brilliant collaborative science and equally-brilliant London coffees!

Had such a great time presenting some of my research work at #ASM24BRIS ! Another conference doing a whole session on pelvic pain 🥹🙌🏼

I am running the Hackney Half Marathon on my 35th birthday in two weeks, for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Thank you to anyone who can spare a quid or three to support 😀🏃‍♀️

I am excited to be presenting later today at the new Youth Resilience Unit Youth Resilience Unit. Looking forward to shared discussions on #mindbody mechanisms tp support mental health and flourishing in youth and adults with major illness.

What a joy to have my postdoc bestie Inge Timmers, PhD visit and present to our team Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience this week, on stress-pain interactions.
One of the best things about science is finding the most fun colleagues and getting to keep ‘em, even when you move jobs and countries 😃

Yesterday was a treat:
I visited Lauren Heathcote, PhD & her stellar team Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, learned about their work on #bodymindsets & presented mine! 🧠🙌

Was also fortunate to join Dr Samuel Woodside's #OpenScience talk & Nick Hulbert-Williams's reflection on lessons from psycho-oncology trials! 🤔

Come and #work with the lovely Youth #Resilience Unit team! Postdoctoral Research Assistant, CREATE (Cultivating REsilience in Adolescents with Trauma-related Emotions) study. Deadline 23 April - pls share! qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies…

Thermosensory predictive coding underpins an illusion of pain! Our new study reveals how perceptions of pain can emerge from the interplay between thermal sensations, expectations, and uncertainty. Check out our thread for all the details! 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our brilliant @ClaudRKnowles was interviewed by Tatum De Roeck for the Shine Cancer Support podcast, discussing our research on helping people reconnect with their bodies after #cancer 🎙️

What a pleasure to host you here Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience and learn about your brilliant research, Cam Rising 👏

This is a really nice piece by Eiko Fried on how to avoid cynicism creep as an academic: eiko-fried.com/antidotes-to-c…

What a snowy, delicious, inspiring three days of pain science UTCSP. Thank you for the invitation to speak and for your hard work organising this brilliant meeting, Massih Moayedi — مسیح مویدی — massih.bsky.social and team⭐️

I *love* learning the latest #pain science innovations from my dentistry & orofacial medicine colleagues 🦷 Like in GI disorders, TMD is an amazing model to understand how #biopsychosocial factors interact to shape pain. #UTCSPASM2024

See you soon, Toronto ✈️

We are wishing you all the luck, learnings, and joyous baby cuddles for this new chapter ahead, @ClaudRKnowles 👶💛. Thank you for helping to welcome all of our new lab group members before you pop - we can’t wait to all welcome you back next year!
