It always feels a little bit exciting to submit a paper for review, but even more exciting when it's sort of, a little bit, out in the world! Keep your fingers crossed for me that it isn't a desk reject...
In this first paper from my Wellcome Early Career Award 'The Rain Within the Rainbow' I reflect on what LGBTQ+ suicide prevention is, and what this might tell us about what all suicide prevention could be!

The wonderful @sarahhuque.bsky.social and I will be doing in conversation about our @d-liveability.bsky.social recent research trips exploring lived experience involvement and leadership in suicide research. We'd love to see you there!
It’s important to recognise and celebrate small academic writing successes patthomson.net/2026/01/22/s...
We've had lots of activity from the lovely members of our Suicide Research Group ( @d-liveability.bsky.social ). I put this together this list of our writing for a recent research visit we did, but thought it might be useful to others who have wondered what we're up to 😊

Thanks for reading @rrowanolive.bsky.social I'd love to hear those thoughts 😊
If you have networks that you think would be interested please circulate this far and wide (or let me know where you think this should be circulated 😊 )
Any questions please email hazel.marzetti@ed.ac.uk (because I don't check social media regularly enough to guarantee it won't be missed).
🌈 Do you know anyone passionate about researching LGBTQ+ suicide, suicide prevention and suicide bereavement, experienced in qualitative methods, and looking for work?
Send them my way because I'm recruiting for a post-doctoral research fellow!
