📢 A new study offers new insight into how we measure quality of life for adults living with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs).

Researchers want to understand which quality of life measures and whether these tools adequately capture what “living well” means.

Sleep and Activity Patterns as Transdiagnostic Behavioral Biomarkers in Psychiatry: Initial Insights from the DeeP-DD study Background: Symptom rating scales in psychiatry are limited by reliance on self-report, and lack of predictive power.

The recent @mcgillu DeeP‑DD study used wearables and found later wake‑times are tied to higher depression and anxiety scores, while light activity consistently predicts lower symptom levels. #MetabolicMentalHealth #SleepAndExercise arxiv.org/abs/2507.22088

Study says work stress is as bad as secondhand smoke What’s wrong with work wellness programs? They only address half the problem.

@harvard.edu @stanfordpress.bsky.social meta-analysis on 228 studies shows toxic workplaces harm your mental/physical health as much as secondhand smoke, but no solutions offered. Mental first aid and webinar training are a start, but don’t address the root cause. www.boston.com/news/jobs/20...

I’m a sucker for airport arrival gates. Seeing humanity at its finest - delighting in one another, long hugs, and big smiles. Thank you @aircananda.bsky.social for the safe arrival of my dad, so we can spend a few days together.

Something I hope to foster in my team is the safety & comfort to share a partial draft of a manuscript or a project proposal. Starting somewhere instead of the pressure of perfection. Collaboration is at its best in the messy middle. Let’s start there today #AcademicChatter #phdlife #womeninacademia

1st post on @bsky.app ! Sharing what I know for sure:

✨2 things can be true at the same time
✨You have no idea what people are carrying
✨You won’t be for everyone
✨Life is precious
✨The more brightly you shine, the harsher the winds
✨Don’t believe everything people think about you
