Wouldn't it be lovely to run one's own little private practice?

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Here's me still brainstorming gender-neutral alternatives to "guys" when Chidi Anagonye found the best way to address a seminar hall ✨️ years ✨️ ago.

This was actually Carly's UG dissertation(!!) so though I didn't have the pleasure of supporting the analysis, it was great to help get this work publication-ready - I learnt a lot about illness and prestige along the way! Plus, it's great to contribute to research into women's health!

We're still awaiting the doi but I just *need* to share the good news: my PhD student Carly Hook has just published her first paper! 🥳 Abstract is below and you can read the full #OpenAccess article here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

I am, thanks Ian! This is really interesting work, and I think that critical engagement with "AI" output will be really important going forwards.

We've tried to do our bit - find lots of coverage in our Covid collection www.bps.org.uk/collections/... - but @francesryan.bsky.social is right that Long Covid appears to be 'the public health crisis no one wants to talk about'.

It was such a pleasure talking with researchers, healthcare professionals, and people with long-covid at our event last week. The clear consensus is that people with long-covid feel they are being forgotten about - so their voices (and ours!) are as important as ever!

Dr Ben Gibson @bgibson49.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Did I mention, by the way, that we (@profmarkforshaw.bsky.social + @dr-katschneider.bsky.social) submitted our latest 'crisis' manuscript on Friday? This time we've conducted a *scoping* review, one that will be touching on themes around activism and online engagement... 👀

Coming together works. Collective action works. Peaceful democratic action works! It's just that certain powerful individuals don't want us to think that it does. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Elon Musk targeted me over Tesla protests. That proves our movement is working

I’ve always believed the people are powerful. Now we know the world’s richest man does too

Open, accessible science is so important but so is good science communication. We need to be diversifying our efforts and reaching different audiences and I think this will need new and exciting approaches!

Hi! We've created our new Bluesky account and looking forward to connecting with some health psychologists #healthpsychology

I joke, of course. I've made huge progress these last few months but I've been busy *being* a practitioner rather than writing about my experiences as one! There'll be plenty of time to write-up over summer (right?)

Dr Ben Gibson @bgibson49.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Practitioner training is actually going pretty well actually #HealthPsychology.

That's exactly what I was thinking 😉 I'll upload to the shared drive!

Hmmm good to know. Still, something to bear in mind for our long-term goals, perhaps? Is it about drumming up attention first?

Dr Ben Gibson @bgibson49.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

And @profmarkforshaw.bsky.social, of course! Are you familiar with this already?

Reposting because I think this will be a very useful resource for myself and others in the future. What do you think @brthomas.bsky.social?

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

A phenomenal thread that exposes #OpenAI as a money-wasting boondoggle that also is bad for the environment! Terrifically well-informed and contextualized insights from Journalist @karenhao.bsky.social 👇🏾

That's what Emily said! I didn't realise caramel was so hard to make, otherwise I might have been more anxious putting all the ingredients on the hob! :') Next time I do a bake close enough to a return to office, I'll be sure to bring some in 😉

Dr Ben Gibson @bgibson49.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

And yes, we made the caramel ourselves 😋

It's been nice to be social media-free these last few months but I was starting to feel a little... disconnected. As a scientist, academic, and - increasingly - a practitioner, I *need* to be part of a connected community. I hope Bluesky can offer that!
