Twitter/X has has been a powerful platform for science, & I’ve benefited lots as an ECR. But I can’t condone the direction it’s taking and who’s at the helm. I’ll stick around for a while longer but have officially made the move to Bluesky. Follow me there @imo-b.bsky.social.

More visionary work from @wellcometrust and @mirandarwolpert which will surely change the landscape of mental health globally. An amazing thing to watch and be a part of. Gives much needed hope for the future.

.@wellcometrust is in the enviable position of supporting innovative mental health science 🧪and development of new interventions 💊📱.

Next step - to deliver these at scale. This is where the Coalition of Mental Health Investment (CMHI) comes in.

Blanket bans on social media for young people is the wrong move. This takes rights away from young people, cuts them off from a core part of their social world and identity, and misdirects the rightful blame on social media giants.

Yes unregulated social media and online env is causing real harm. Make it safe though don’t lock YP out of this world. Deal with the technofeudal barons who control social media.
