Great to hear @CaraRuggiero discussing her “why” and the importance of finding your people in research. We’re very glad we found Cara/she found us and brought her passion and skills to our team. Excited about her developing new ideas in food insecurity and infant feeding.

@ClareHLlewellyn 😂 me neither. I have a team full of brilliant collaborative women who are a joy to work with, but they are all far too interesting for “polite” to be a defining feature. I still hold that “nicely turned out” is the worst reference I got for a PhD candidate 🤢

@amy_ahern Although I’m pretty sure neither of those adjectives have ever appeared in a reference about me 😂😂😂

Another year of PhD applications, another year of reading references telling me how “pleasant” and “polite” female candidates are..: 🙄

@amy_ahern Really, I think this is evidence that PhD supervisors learn from their students as well as their students learning from them 😉 I daren't ask what you picked up from me though!

Congratulations to @laura_kudlek for submitting her PhD thesis and having her second PhD paper published last week 🤩 🥳 It has been an absolute pleasure to mentor this rising star in the psychology of eating behaviour and obesity and I have learnt so much working with her 🤩
Laura Kudlek@laura_kudlek

🔔 Excited to share this publication 🔔 We found that behavioural weight management interventions improve several eating behaviour traits like restraint 📊 We found no evidence of an impact on emotional eating - highlighting directions for future work 🙌
