Not academic or a sporting achievement but definitely something I'm proud of. Working with fighting against homelessness whilst on the tail end of the PhD has been an eye opening and inspirational experience.

Working full time, trying to wrap up the PhD and generally survive really does feel like this lately

Handling applied PhD research with a national governing body & two professional clubs, @bc_robson has been busy! He's looking at postural control & cognitive function for concussion in rugby • Evaluating concussion education • Prospectively assessing concussion return-to-play

VIVA ✔️ big thanks to @CarolynAEmery @SteveMellalieu, Marianne Gittoes and of course my supervisory team @IzzyMoorePhD @VH_Stiles @gemRPhD. Something I'm sure I'll be proud of once my brain has recovered 🤯 (thanks @bc_robson for the graphics)

Really excited to have my first lead author paper published in #SJSMM 🙌 Massive thankyou to all co-authors, and @SSCSantry for letting me use their data 🙂 Link to access paper: doi.org/10.1111/sms.14…

Helping women return to running following childbirth using recovery methods traditionally used in sport. Some evidence-informed key messages to assist medical practitioners (GPs, midwives & physiotherapists) working with postpartum women @CAWR_CMU (bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…).

Participants Needed! Two 15-minute postural control assessments, 3-days apart. Please get in touch if interested or have any further questions.

Nice to be a participant for a change and be involved in a study close to my heart

This has been a long time in the works, glad it is finally out - women in sport and head injuries under scrutiny... nature.com/articles/d4158…

New paper in @JHTRonline extending our @NICHD_NIH funded work: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34320557/ High exercise volume (>150 min/week) after concussion associated with decreased depressive symptoms one month later (Fig A below). @jroldham @SportsMedBoston @Hunt7Danielle @MicheliCenter

Nice to present some work from my Ph.D. at @CMetDR and feel like I kind of know what I am on about. #DRSymposium21 #Concussion #RugbyUnion

The PhD work load is getting heavier so I had to rope in the big guns 🤓

Starts systematic review. Reference manger crashes ( a lot!)

PhD students can get overlooked & not given a voice when considering the impact of COVID on research. So I asked a group of PhD students to create memes reflecting how it felt to do a PhD during COVID. Here is their voice (thread 1/7) @AcademicChatter It can be a lonely place:

PhDs often focus on project outcomes (e.g papers, tick boxes) & not the student's journey. Believing in students & supporting their growth on that journey is far more meaningful & recognises that every PhD student (& therefore project) is different #AcademicChatter
