Delighted to announce that I have been awarded a 3-year @LeverhulmeTrust Early Career Fellowship to join @GeographyUOM at @OfficialUoM, under the mentorship of @JZCOS . My project will develop new methods, theory and natural experiment research on urban environments and wellbeing.

Grateful to Marilyn Wende @DrDecRyan Rachel Thomson and @drhipp for collaborating on this paper.

🚨 New commentary paper out today in @IJBNPA . We discuss how tech can scale up natural experiments in physical activity research:. 📱⌚ Apps & wearables.📍 Geolocation.🎥 Automated observation.🏙️ Env audits. Open access 👉.

🚨 New paper alert in @SJWEH 🚨. Our qualitative evidence synthesis explores shift workers' views of sleep, fatigue and health behaviours. Key conclusion: sleep education alone is unlikely to be effective, and interventions should support self-regulation.

NEW PAPER: We show that stationary video cameras can reliably assess physical activity and other wellbeing behaviours in public spaces without reactivity. A cost-effective and more flexible alternative to traditional in-person observation methods🎥.

I enjoyed collaborating on this published natural experiment, showing how community gardens provided crucial green space access during COVID-19 in China. We adapted our MOHAWk observation tool, which showed increased use of a community garden:.

Very pleased to have been awarded ‘Best Outstanding Interdisciplinary Researcher 2024’ in @FBMH_UoM . An excellent way to finish my time in the Faculty before I move to @UoMHumsResearch @GeographyUOM to start my @LeverhulmeTrust Early Career Fellowship next month. @UoMResDev

Not long now until I join @GeographyUOM @OfficialUoM to start my @LeverhulmeTrust Early Career Fellowship project, focusing on urban green spaces and wellbeing!. Read more about this here:.

It was a pleasure to work on this qualitative study exploring service users' views on a nationally rolled out type 2 diabetes online self-management programme. The emotional aspects of these programmes are important, but further work is needed to promote continued long-term use!.

It will be sad to leave @ManHealthPsych, but I am grateful for @LeverhulmeTrust giving me this opportunity🙌.

Thrilled that our paper (led by @urbanflourish) has now been published in @env_int_journal . Our natural experimental study of co-designed sustainable park improvements showed positive impacts on walking and wellbeing behaviours.

Looking forward to co-hosting this webinar with @NdenBraver on April 30, 2024, 20:00 UTC. Join us to learn about all the fantastic pre-conference workshops at this year's #ISBNPA2024 in Omaha. Please register here:.

Key topics will include:. 🌌 Acknowledging complex systems thinking. ✏ Natural experiment study design. 🛠 Choosing the right measurement tools. We are workshop #4 when registering for the conference #ISBNPA2024.

Excited to announce that our pre-conference workshop ‘Unravelling the System of Policy and Environmental Changes: Lessons Learned from Natural Experiment Evaluations on Physical Activity’ got accepted to #ISBNPA2024. @NdenBraver @FamkeMolenberg @erpecum @ISBNPA.
