Our smartwatch smoking relapse intervention is in the news today, including front-page of The Times and a report on Channel 4 News. Published in JMIR Formative Research with @AndyLSkinner @FelixNaughton @RositaShakita @AngelaAttwood @joe__matthews @MarcusMunafo. @BristolUniPsych
Congrats to @BristolTARG's @ChrisStone_UoB for making the front page of @thetimes with his work on a smartwatch app to support smoking cessation...
New Year, new habits? 🚭 New research has shown smartwatches could help smokers quit by detecting smoking motions & delivering timely relapse prevention messages. ⌚ More info ⬇️ brnw.ch/21wPJBG @BristolTARG @mrc_ieu @CR_UK
Thrilled to be awarded a LEO grant to launch the Skin Genetics Consortium - to undertake global GWAS for all common skin conditions
In the third and final round of 2024, the LEO Foundation awards 15 international scientists with a research grant. The funding – totaling just over DKK 56 million (EUR 7.5 million)– supports cutting-edge research in the field of skin research🌟tinyurl.com/52jzv7ab

My latest @Mental_Elf blog on this extensive umbrella review led by @NTFabiano & team - original paper linked 👇 nature.com/articles/s4138… This review will support evidence-based decision making in the use of psychotropic medication during pregnancy for clinicians & individuals
Psychotropic medication during pregnancy: new umbrella review finds no convincing evidence of adverse health outcomes for the baby nationalelfservice.net/?p=206720 Some interesting associations though between antidepressant use and harm, based on suggestive or weak evidence.
