Our postdocs and doctoral students also presented their projects. A big congratulations to @Yue_surpassyue, who won the Ministry of Health's award for promising investigators in the field of health or health promotion🎉 @ingibjorg @SvavaDj @siganna71 @ValentinWlkr

At the 21st Biomedical and Health Sciences conference @UnnurAValdimars gave an interesting talk on "Trauma and stress – one of the main public health challenges of the 21st century"🧡

PhD candidate @unnursmari doing brilliantly at the 9th World @ADHD_Congress! Poster Awardee for crucial work on comorbidities in #Women with #ADHD @TIMESPAN_H2020 @LarssonPsychEpi @UnnurAValdimars @thoraspelund @CPHIceland @UNSWMedicine

Our very own @UnnurAValdimars @uni_iceland gave a plenary lecture at #EPA2023 on long-term mental and physical outcomes among war migrants. The talk emphasized that this is a highly vulnerable group in need of long-term health surveillance – and how we can do better.

.@EddaBjorkT is an assistant professor at @CPHIceland, @uni_iceland and a clinical psychologist at @Landspitali. She is a researcher for @SAGACohort and @COVIDMENT. Her main research focus is on the effects of trauma on health, particularly #PTSD and sleep problems.

We really enjoyed listening to all the fascinating talks and making new friends at the @ISTSSnews conference🧡 Here are our representatives from @CPHIceland 🫶 @UnnurAValdimars gave a talk as a keynote speaker and, Hilda and @ingibjorg presented their Ph.D. projects! #ISTSS2022

Proud of our brilliant @UnnurAValdimars, the @SAGACohort guarantor, who gave a talk yesterday as a keynote speaker at the @ISTSSnews conference🧡 #ISTSS2022

Day 2 at @iawmh conference where @CPHIceland PhD students presented their projects! Hilda presented results on adverse childhood experiences, resilience and psychiatric morbidity, and @Fenfen101 presented results on adverse childhood experiences and autoimmune disease. #IAWMH2022

PhD students from @CPHIceland presented their projects on day 1 at the @iawmh conference. @SvavaDj presented her results on workplace sexual harassment and violence, and @siganna71 presented results on premenstrual disorders, self-harm and suicidality. #IAWMH2022

We had a great time at the @iawmh conference. Few representatives from @CPHIceland presented their results from the @SAGACohort and @COVIDMENT on women's #mentalhealth💪 #IAWMH2022

Looking forward to hearing @UnnurAValdimars give a talk at the #ISTSS2022 conference this Thursday on the opportunities from the Nordic registers for an improved understanding of trauma‐related disorders in general health & disease 🫶

.@thoraspelund, professor of biostatistics and senior researcher in @SAGACohort, @COVIDMENT, and Icelandic Heart Association is ranked nr. 6 among Icelandic scientists in medical sciences according to research.com. Proud collaborators at @uni_iceland congratulate Thor!

Hilda Björk Daníelsdóttir is a Ph.D. student in epidemiology at @CPHIceland where one of her research projects aims to determine the genetic and environmental contributions to resilience following childhood trauma. Hilda recently presented her results at #WCPG2022 in Florence.

One important aspect of science is sharing the knowledge gained in research. At the @ISPS conference in Perugia, @UnnurAValdimars, professor of epidemiology at the @CPHIceland gave a talk about the human health response to major trauma and life adversities.

Rebekka Lynch is a physician and a Ph.D. student in public health at @CPHIceland where her focus is on the psycho-physiological sequelae of violence against women. Her results suggest that violence exposure is associated with higher cortisol levels.

Recent findings from @SAGACohort suggest a third of women report lifetime exposure to sexual harassment/violence and 8% report exposure in their current workplace. The highest prevalence of current workplace sexual harassment/violence was among women working as public figures.

Looking forward to hearing keynote speaker @UnnurAValdimars, the @SAGACohort study's guarantor, give a talk about trauma- and stress-related disorders and the development of somatic disease, at @ISTSSnews in Atlanta next November! Register at istss.org/am22/registrat… #ISTSSnews

Our latest findings from the @SAGACohort highlight how widespread workplace sexual harassment and violence is among women residing in Iceland, particularly among young women and those who work shifts. @SvavaDj @EddaBjorkT
