Had the pleasure of overseeing some fascinating work by @PaoloM_Persona in the #bodyneutrality space! We found that body neutrality content on TikTok was diverse, suggesting the social media movement is flexible & ever-expanding 🙌

Our study on the TikTok algorithm and eating disorders is finally published (big thx 2 @emilya_harris). We scraped the metadata for ~1 million TikTok videos delivered to users w/ eating disorders versus users w/out eating disorders (i.e. healthy controls) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Excited to share our new brief report, now available open access in Body Image! We used random intercept cross-lagged panel models to examine the relationships of muscularity and body fat dissatisfaction with psychological QoL among ~3000 sexual minority men.🧵@Scott1Griffiths
Last day at @RMIT today!! Sad 2 be leaving but thrilled 2 announce I'll be pivoting into the non-profit space 🤓 Heading 2 @BoltonClarke's research centre to work under @JudyLowthian 🙌 But first a MUCH needed 10 day staycation (wanna grab a mimosa on a weekday morning? Pls hmu)
Glad to see this bad boy finally out in the world! We explored how COVID-19 lockdowns impacted body image for queer men. Check it out: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Stoked to have chatted to @GeraetsNell about cosmetic surgery & motherhood 💉The misogyny and stigma embedded in cosmetic surgery discourse is particularly horrific for mothers, who are told they should "rise above vanity" now that they're mums
