The SHAPES study is open to any UK medical student or foundation doctor and measures their perceptions of medical specialists' personality traits using a 5-minute online survey. The survey can be accessed via this link: bit.ly/shapes-study.

Our research on the attitudes of UK pathologists and judicial officers towards view and grants is available in JCP, demonstrating how social psychology can interface with forensic pathology to understand decision-making by death investigators: doi.org/10.1136/jcp-2024-209… 🧵 1/7

Pls share if you support. Many young people are paying £100s/£1,000s fines to the govt to access money they saved to buy a first time house. It's time to #EndLISALockout Today I've contacted the Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt to ask him to fix Lifetime ISAs in the autumn statement. They're now a dead duck for many 1st time buyers especially in urban areas. The LISA can be opened age 18-39 and then it gives savers a 25% bonus up to £1,000 a year towards a housing deposit. It should be great (& is for many). Yet LISAs launched in 2017 with a £450,000 cap on the property you could use them for. That cap is still the same now, but house prices have gone up 33%. That leaves some who've saved squeezed out. Eg. You saved the max in a LISA for 5yrs: - You put in £20,000, state added £5,000, so you've £25,000 - Yet the home you wanted & saved for is now just above the threshold. - So now you face a 25% penalty to withdraw your money, so you get only £18,750 back that's £1,250 less than you put in, and the different goes to the state. My ask to the Chancellor is simple. Either wipe the fine for those buying houses above the threshold or raise the threshold in line with house price rises (or both).

It was lovely hosting @EstherPapies the last two days for her brilliant talk today on how (not) to talk about plant-based food for our department's seminar series, and getting to eat some fantastic plant bad food at @Yakyetiyakbath last night!

We've ranked universities based on their height above sea level. Congratulations to Newman, Bath, and Keele on the dizzying height of your success! ➡️ bantshire.github.io/ranking-…

Very excited to be talking to people at the Royal Society #SummerScience Exhibition in London about our research on value similarity until Sunday! @royalsociety @BathPsychology @EssexPsychology #SmashingStereotypes #SummerScienceEssex

This man provided my introduction to conservative politics by promising my entire GCSE maths class a trip to the Jaguar Landrover plant in 2014. He never responded to any follow up emails, but did so within a few hours for a signed Christmas card.

Most of us don't want to be billionaires. 💰 A new study from @BathPsychology busts the long-held economic belief that humans are all motivated to want more and more. bath.ac.uk/announcements/who…

Enjoyed kicking off day one of the Bath Psychology Department PhD Conference earlier presenting findings from our pilot study on the importance of sharing values with others for wellbeing. So interesting hearing about everyone’s research - thanks to all who came! @BathPsychology

Managed to type on a form that I'm a "PDF student"... and I'm not even sure that's wrong at this point with the amount of papers I've downloaded
