I've decided to shut my business and do more volunteer / community work. If you know of an organisation which could use a board member with strong digital skills, extensive experience in open source and open standards, or cybersecurity please let me know.

The instinct when uptake drops is to blame parents, but the number of parents who are fully anti vaccine tends to be relatively small (despite how prominent those voices are on social media)

If you look at the uptake stats for Men ACWY there's a lot of variation in eligibility and delivery across NHS regions. It also states that the pandemic affected uptake, as has rollout of other vaccines (such as extending flu vaccine to older age groups).

A lot of the quotes on this are focused on anti vaxxers, however that's only 1 factor for why children might not be vaccinated

Yeah that's it exactly - there's something about a lot of books I love - but appreciate that this might not be something everyone has

Stephanie Davey @stephaniedavey.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

I think this still happens for me with a digital library search - I put in the title of the paper I want a full text version of, and find other interesting papers.

Stephanie Davey @stephaniedavey.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

This was what I remember from my very first degree. Also the act of going to look for recommended reading books, would mean coming across other very interesting books.

Keeping your New Year's resolutions on track can be hard, even for those of us in health psychology! So if you need a helping hand (or a new research area to explore), here are 5 books by psychologists on popular resolution topics: sleep, stress, drinking, exercise and eating.

A pile of books on a wooden table, with the words "5 health psychology books for the New Year" in text above

Have made a Christmas hamper for the food bank (they do a campaign every year - we decorate big cardboard boxes with wrapping paper and then fill them with food). Given how deprived our area is, I'm always touched by the number of hampers they receive.

Was really great to collaborate with my supervisor, and other Derby students on this commentary. Also my first as a correspondence author! We looked at HPV vaccine uptake in boys 👇 www.mdpi.com/2813-2882/3/...

The use case makes no sense to me. If I wanted something that misunderstands a paper but confidently, I could look on Reddit or twitter

Stephanie Davey @stephaniedavey.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

Increasingly baffled by "AI powered" summaries and searches on academic papers. firstly, the abstract is the summary, secondly if I need to understand something about the paper, I can read it? if I need to find a specific phrase ctrl f does absolutely fine

I feel as though the solution to lots of researchers needing PPIE groups to satisfy funding requirements isn't using AI to generate plausible sounding insights

Stephanie Davey @stephaniedavey.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

This seems bizarre to me, and perhaps due to viewing lived experience as simply a matter of whether people fit in one box or another.

spent the day in town. got some yellow paint testers for the kitchen and some heather and other random plants for the garden. definitely feeling much more relaxed!

I'm taking a week off work. my supervisor has insisted that this also means no PhD work. I have taken myself out to Kent's finest cathedral city to remove the temptation to look at any work

In February 2024, I wrote Scientific Reports about a published meta-analysis claiming that mindfulness interventions affect neural plasticity, 'cementing the neuropsychological basis of mindfulness-based interventions'. The paper was retracted yesterday—here a little summary of the process.🧵

People think social media is done by interns

010

Stephanie Davey @stephaniedavey.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Also the platforms themselves, they track you across sites. TikTok has a very uncanny ability to surface content sometimes. So someone might be looking at legitimate information online, but then get a bunch of poor quality mental health videos in their FYP

000

Stephanie Davey @stephaniedavey.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

I think there are multiple issues here. One is that people will sometimes give advice without being clear it's only based on their own experience. Another is that social media encourages short snappy engaging content and that conflicts with providing good information.

100

Stephanie Davey @stephaniedavey.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

The problem is that mental health services in this country are not very well funded and for more complex types of therapy people have to wait. What are they going to do in the meantime? Look for information online

There was a sense that if a bath and a walk hadn't made you better then you weren't trying hard enough

Despite there being lots of different mental health issues, experiences, methods of coping etc, everything seemed to be flattened into the same few talking points and ways to help

100

Stephanie Davey @stephaniedavey.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

I agree with this. I also felt that mental health awareness started to become less about people with mental health problems, than people wanting something to post on social
