Latest paper to come from the APPETItE project, in which we show that distraction works really well to reduce eating in the absence of hunger. Thanks to all the team for all the work involved, especially @katieedders.bsky.social who led on this one 🤩 kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...
Dream team at #ISBNPA2025 @astonpsychology.bsky.social
Really looking forward to the next few days at #ISBNPA2025 with colleagues from @astonpsychology.bsky.social. It’s always a great, fun, active, healthy and productive conference. Megan and I compensated for this by spending yesterday investigating the local vineyards 😀
What an exciting evening at Aston this evening-Professor Gina Rippon giving her talk about her latest book, the lost girls of autism.
Thank you Marion, that means so much to me and the whole APPETItE team 😍

@marloz-cas.bsky.social a useful thread below on preprints!
At UKSBM for two days of talking about the latest evidence in behavioural medicine- great to catch up with colleagues old and new.
I’m delighted to share our animation of recommendations for parents of children with avid appetites, who repeatedly ask for snacks. This is one of the outputs from our ESRC funded APPETItE study. All publications so far can also be found on the website 😊 www.appetite-research.com/animation-fo...
We had a great talk at Aston Psychology today from Dr Charlotte Buckley, University of Liverpool in the use of Agent-based modelling in health behaviours. Thanks to Dr Megan Jarman for organising!
🧵This #Children’sMentalHealthWeek we launched the #FutureMinds campaign urging the Government to take action and support children’s mental health as an investment in the future of our society.
We came together with leading charities to make the case for change, providing a clear costed plan. 1/4
Interested in children’s avid eating? As the APPETItE study comes to an end, we’ve uploaded some talks about the project, what we did, why we did it and what we found (+ links to our publications). Shortly we will be releasing an animation for parents, too.

I lead the Psychology of Eating in Adults and Children (PEACh) research group at Aston University. As well as conducting high quality research, there is always time for promotion of research culture and human connection through the power of a Christmas Quiz 😎🌲🎁🍑
It was a real pleasure to come back to Birmingham and see the whole team again🥰 Attending the final project conference was incredible. I will definitely take the APPETItE project as a reference ♥️ I’m looking forward to seeing you all soon ♥️

Finally @profblissett.bsky.social wrapped up a great day of learning about the #appetitestudy.
Managing avid eating is important to parents as it is a major area of conflict for them.
I posted lots about the #appetitestudy conference today in Birmingham UK led by @profblissett.bsky.social.
Fab day. Lots of great learning about #eatingbehaviour #psychology #research. And importantly a great lunch and friendly crowd :) 🧪 I was going to collate my posts below but have no idea how!
