A piece Jon Hunter & I wrote about ensuring consent in medicine and medical research is voluntary, informed, specific, current, and capable & why that is so important. bobmaunder.substack.com/p/a-person-i...

True consent is both messy and critically important

My brother @boiby.bsky.social wrote a touching post on my efforts to unearth stories from our family’s history, especially those belonging to women. Some of their stories are painful but they deserve to be heard and honoured instead of being hidden in dusty corners. 🪦📖✨

Servants, inmates, survivors, sisters. These are some of the women from whom, somehow, I got to be me.

I see I have been included in the PsychSky Pack III starter pack. TY @katewomersley.com Since I have been lamenting that my only community on Bluesky are fellow bird photographers, now I’ll have to broaden my posts to include my day job.

TY to Dr. Gratzer for featuring Coping: Fix Problems, Find Meaning, Feel Better: “points a way forward, with an optimistic tone, hundreds of citations, and clear advice. The book is about coping. It’s also about trauma, adversity, and finding strength” #stress davidgratzer.com/category/rea...

I took this red-bellied woodpecker in 2022, two yrs into the pandemic. #Bird photography is like meditation, finding or creating stillness in the chaos. This is how we cope: fix what we can, take action to endure the rest and make our lives meaningful. COPING, is now available wherever you buy books

Cover of book called COPING: Fix Problems, Find Meaning, Feel Better by Robert Maunder and Jonathan Hunter M.D.
