Bluesky Network Analyzer Find accounts that you don't follow (yet) but are followed by lots of accounts that you do follow.

Cool tool for building your network - figure out who your mutuals are following who you haven't found yet.

By count (gets big accounts)
By proportion (gets niche accounts)

Implications: Encouraging time in nature could could be a simple yet effective way to help reduce inequalities in children's mental wellbeing 🌈

But local authorities need to ensure children have access to natural spaces, especially in disadvantaged areas 🌼

We used GPS & accelerometry data from 640 children to measure:
β€’ Time in nature 🌳⏱️
β€’ Physical activity in nature πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒ

We linked this to 3 mental wellbeing outcomes 🧠

And examined moderation by SES & sex πŸ”

Disadvantaged children are more likely to have mental health problems & less access to support πŸ’”

Exposure to nature may benefit children's mental wellbeing and reduce inequalities 🌳

However, previous findings are mixed because studies typically measure 'nature near home' rather than direct use 🏑
