We’re organising "CHI Curious" — a fringe session of lightning talks celebrating ideas that didn’t quite make #CHI2026, or had no business being in it in the first place. Sign up to do a talk here www.eventbrite.com/e/the-night-...

Great to see lived experience represented at London International Eating Disorders Conference #LEDC2026 but PLEASE do not schedule the session at the same time as lunch! It really doesn’t send the right message and it means there is a fraction of the audience in attendance. Disappointing decision 😞
Delighted to receive this Changing Policy and Practice funding 🎉 With @pactlab.bsky.social colleagues, REDCAN (redcan.org.uk) & award-winning comedian and mental health campaigner Dave Chawner, we’ll develop practical guidelines to embed remote care into a national eating disorder policy ✨
📣 Announcing our latest Changing Policy and Practice funding awards! 📣 This will allow researchers to maximise the real-world impact of their previous Foundation or @ukri.org MRC-funded work and turn medical research into action. 👉 Read the full news story: https://bit.ly/4pvU7JP

Attending the "How is Gen Z faring?” event, part of the @nuffieldfoundation.org ‘Grown Up? Journeys to Adulthood’ programme. Delighted to be an External Expert Advisor for this great programme of work. More details here: www.nuffieldfoundation.org/evidence-and-impact/our-programmes/grown-up
Grown up? Journeys to adulthood - Nuffield Foundation
Grown up? dives into how young people aged 14 to 24 are making the journey to adulthood - and what this means for policy, research and wider society.

This compelling piece by @cliffmanning.bsky.social @parentzone.org.uk and Natalie Foos at VoiceBox explores how hard it is for young people and parents to navigate autonomy and care in the era of pervasive digital technology. See our Grown Up? project bit.ly/3K1RAbE @thecyberpsyche.bsky.social
📱Do you have a tracking app for your teen? It may have a bigger impact than you think. For young people, it can feel like a breach of trust and an invasion of their privacy. For parents, what begins as a desire for safety can be exploited by technology and become a form of control. 🧵
And she was fantastic!! Dawn’s research is so interesting, and makes a difference for people. It was a fascinating lecture and I learned so much! #Cyberpsychology
