Very happy to share the first paper from my PhD, recently published in Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy! 🥳 We investigated cognitive and behavioural processes in adolescent panic disorder. Read it here: doi.org/10.1017/S135..., or here's a quick summary of our findings... (1/?) 🧵

A quick intro! 👋🏻 I’m a Y3 PhD student at the Uni of Oxford researching panic in young people from a cognitive behavioural perspective - for a 60s intro to my work, here’s a short video I created! www.youtube.com/shorts/DK0xg...

The communications minister cited a study in support of a teen social media ban. Its co-author disagrees

Delighted to have been awarded the 2024 MRC Max Perutz Award! Had a brilliant time attending the ceremony at the Royal Institution this week, thanks to the organisers for the chance to share my work on panic in adolescence with a wider audience 😊🍾
