Hazel Marzetti | Instagram | Linktree Hazel (she/her) is a suicide and suicide prevention researcher with a specialism in LGBTQ+ suicide, working at the University of Edinburgh.

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 😊

This week it is finally setting in that I am not working in academia any more. I am taking time to rest and reflect on next steps. My first reflection is that I am terrible at resting. I have spent about five hours each day this week deep cleaning one room per day. Any tips on pacing warmly welcomed

It's been a long time since I logged on here. It might be nice to reconnect with a wider academic community, so, hello again!

Not much I want to say about academic life at the moment, but I've been keeping myself well through writing children's story books and creating colouring and puzzle books ❀️

Peter Krykant dies suddenly as tributes paid to pioneering Scots drugs reformer Krykant, who battled addiction issues, was found dead at home in Falkirk. He inspired many to regard addiction as a health issue and paved the way for state-backed safe drug consumption areas

Peter Krykant kept the lives being lost to drugs in the public eye & shamed the Scottish gov into action. His van prevented overdoses & and continues to so as, without it, The Thistle wouldn’t exist. It was a privilege to know him. I hope he’s at peace. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/peter-k...

Today I asked AI to summarise an academic paper. The actual results were the opposite to what was hypothesised (and to what others had shown). The AI summary assumed the study had found what everyone else had found. Hot tip: don’t use a stochastic parrot to summarise an outlier paper. #academicsky πŸ§ͺ
