This was a brief Twitter stop-in as Di doesn't use Bluesky (yet!). Seeing the feed now, I'm still not sad to have moved over. Come join me! @drsumner.bsky.social.

Looking forward to celebrating the awesome @ProfDiCrone at her @cardiffmet inaugural today. Di has been a huge influence in my career, both as an inspiration as an academic and as someone who has gone to great lengths to guide me through my journey. She is an excellent human.

I feel like now may be a good time to remind people that Bluesky has been whirring into life for the last few months, and I can confirm it's far less fascist over there (until Space Karen buys that too).

The joy of finally successfully merging longitudinal datasets to create a mega dataset of over 800 variables is followed by the swift and perplexing defeat of forgetting how to write a paper. This is going to take a while. #itsbeentoolong

Very interesting study showing neuro links (in mice) between #PTSD and #ASD. If replicated in humans, this has really big implications for those with ASD/ASC, who often experience stress and trauma just by virtue of living in an NT world.

I'm writing a chapter, but instead of writing it about the thing, I'm writing about why studying the thing is hard. It's like my general studies exam all over again where I answered the question "explain why Eurovision is so popular" with an essay on why the question was wrong.
