Ruth Knight @ruthknight.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Reading of Prof Arday's death is tragic. Watching the ferocity with which institutions + the media pursued him over the past weeks has been horrific, particularly when considering the lack of interest in individuals who have, and continue to, perpetuate significant harm against students + colleagues 041

Ruth Knight @ruthknight.bsky.social · 29/10/2025Supervision meetings with every PhD student today. Very much enjoyed the variety of activities (coffee in a cafe, sitting on the floor sketching out the next semester, laughing about weird papers). Realized that supervision is often the highlight of my job, because these students are just so fab. 020
Ruth Knight @ruthknight.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Happy that the last chapter of my PhD is published. We explored the different effects that of viewing the same fitspiration images in the lab or on Instagram. Instagram seems to be especially potent in terms of body image, particularly for those who already have some disordered eating. 130
Ruth Knight @ruthknight.bsky.social · 21/07/2025New paper!! Excited to share our new piece outlining an ECR perspective on children and young people's mental health research.

Ruth Knight @ruthknight.bsky.social · 16/07/2025Thoroughly enjoyed a day at the Institute for Health and Care Improvement's research showcase yesterday.

Ruth Knight @ruthknight.bsky.social · 24/06/2025Hosted the first meeting of the Yorkshire Eating Disorder Research Network today. Despite a heavy dose of imposter syndrome-induced nerves earlier, it was great to share discussions about challenges, facilitators, and priorities with others who understand the challenges of working in this area. 130

Ruth Knight @ruthknight.bsky.social · 08/05/2025A great first day in (sunny!) Edinburgh at the Eating Disorder ECR Network event. So valuable to share conversations about the context we're in, especially around funding and coproduction. It can be a lonely space and these events really help to combat that isolation. 050

Ruth Knight @ruthknight.bsky.social · 01/05/2025I've come away from our first meeting feeling such a wave of appreciation for community, solidarity, and the bravery and wisdom of everyone who is trying to disrupt the professional-personal binary in mental health research. Looking forward to next time very much! 020
Ruth Knight @ruthknight.bsky.social · 28/04/2025Are you interested in marginalization and how this influences eating disorders? We have space for 3 more group members to contribute to a research project on these issues. We have funding to pay for attendance at four meetings; the role can be as involved as you wish. Get in touch for more details! 032
Ruth Knight @ruthknight.bsky.social · 09/04/2025For me, so much of doing coproduction with young people can be summed up in this photo. We hear alot about outputs, impact, publications, but less about this: hanging out and eating a takeaway. I do really believe, though, that this is the foundation for the rest of it. (1/n) 140
