Big thanks to the @SocStudyHumBiol team for organizing such a fantastic #SSHB2024 conference, and a special thanks to @SilviaCosta33 for making it all happen!
It was an honor to share our research on time reallocations with everyone.
@alesgaba highlighting the key take home messages from a very complicated data analysis, showing that evem small shifts of 10mins in #MovementBehaviours could have significant #publichealth impacts
