Poppy Grimes (Poppy Grimes @pzg.bsky.social) is a PhD student Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh working on psychiatric & genetic epidemiology in adolescent depression. She is esp. interested in the heterogeneity & dynamics of depression symptoms across adolescent development. ed.ac.uk/profile/poppy-…

You might be frustrating the people who peer-review you manuscripts without even realising it. Here are some tips on reducing peer review friction from my experience as an author and reviewer dsquintana.blog/reviewer-respo…

#BGA2024 really delivering so far and great to see so many familiar faces

Morning #BGA2024 if you’re interested in adolescent depression, later outcomes and genetics (MR), then pop by my poster later today (P1.02). Even if you’re not interested feel free to come over and say hello if I’m standing around looking awkward like you do

⏰23rd July We have a few spaces for this co-designed event by young people supported by Generation Scotland exploring the development of a new Mental Health Youth Forum at The University of Edinburgh If interested please let me know. Event is for young people aged 12-18 & mental health researchers

New preprint! We modelled depressive symptom trajectories from childhood to early adulthood, and looked at their associations with a range of immunometabolic markers - we found 4 distinct trajectories with different biomarker profiles medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

It’s that bloody hope that gets you, every time

Massive congratulations to Sarah Robertson for putting on a youth mental health forum up here in Edinburgh. Completely packed! And absolutely brilliant to bring so many young people, charities, policy folk and researchers together. Hopefully the first of many for Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh

Fab catch up with amazing collabs from University of Bristol and MRC IEU. Loads of cool stuff on mental health, omics, inflammation, population health and EHR. Looking forward to the continued working Golam Khandaker Andrew McIntosh

Honestly it’s this good Paul Yousefi

Great to see so many familiar faces here (with absolutely zero photoshop) We had some wonderful chats about amazing science and future research plans MRC IEU Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh

🚨🌡️New pre-print on PsyArXiv! We conceptualise and investigate network temperature as a measure of longitudinal stability in depression symptom networks across adolescence... osf.io/preprints/psya… [1/9]

Sizzling new paper ♨️🔥 led by Poppy Grimes @pzg.bsky.social examining changes in network temperature for depression symptoms in THREE longitudinal cohorts. More network stability & less symptom variability over adolescence Thanks to participants and fab co-authors on this mega piece of work

Our new group website just dropped. Take a look at some of the awesome folks I’m working with and the work we’re doing. New RA positions to come up shortly working on my Wellcome award life-epi-psych.github.io

Evaluation and comparison of growth and development-based measures of pubertal timing - new paper using Children of the 90s data nature.com/articles/s4385…

TIDAL: Tool to Implement Developmental Analysis of Longitudinal data medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #medRxiv

Wow! Just the 20 predatory journal emails so far since this went live last night, must be a great paper judging by all these lovely over the top compliments 😏

📣Excited to share that my first first-author paper has been published in JCPP Advances! You can read the #OpenAccess article here: doi.org/10.1002/jcv2.1… We tested whether an existing model could predict 2-year #depression in early #adolescence 🧵
