I met Aggrey in the early months of my time as President of ⁦⁦⁦⁦Royal College of Psychiatrists⁩. His story had a big influence on me and what I tried to achieve. theguardian.com/society/2022/j…

This is great news if it holds. Have been waiting for this: If you are double vaccinated, reports of Long COVID are near background.

Reading the news coverage of the @UCU #FourFights strike, I get the impression that many people don’t know what University lecturers do (and why would they?), so here’s a thread on it. I’m a psychologist, so let’s start with the work of the average psychology lecturer. 🧵👇1/18

As a PhD student, I know that when my supervisors are on strike, they are striking not only for themselves, but for me, my fellow students, our colleagues and peers. Solidarity forever! #OneOfUsAllOfUs #UCUstrike

Commuted to be in the 🌧️ on the picket line today Leicester UCU Fair pay, job security, manageable workloads and equality should be reasonable demands but apparently we have to continue fighting for them - and we will! 🥁 UCU

Big shout out on #InternationalWomensDay to Dervila Glynn without whom Cam Neuroscience wouldn’t function! (Our smiles hide how incredibly tired we both were!)

Clearly I work at a University where advancement of women is no longer necessary.... Anyone cares to see how many male vs female full professors we have? Salaries?

Having just bowed out of a fascinating event at Columbia that I was keen to be part of, it's frustrating to see others seeking 'loopholes' to cross picket lines. (Elsewhere - not this event). Let's not forget... the gains we'll make through the #UCUstrikes will benefit us all!!

Whooooohoooo congrats Prof Anne-Laura van Harmelen on a superb inaugural lecture. You & Rogier are the most resilient people I know. Wishing you a great evening of celebrations and sad I'm not there with you ♥️

Well said, and this applies to University workers too who are seeing working conditions, pay and pensions worsen year on year. These problems across sectors are all linked to the terrible political/economic system we now have, and that needs to go #UCURising #EnoughIsEnough

We have a new paper out led by Miek 🕊️ with Barbara Sahakian, showing people with OCD display different forms of inflexible behavior as a function of uncertainty, medication, and the need to avoid punishment sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
