Really interesting, and really important work. Well done!

Thanks Kirralise! 😊

Hope you are well!

Passed with minor corrections! Thanks to my family for their support, to @drmlfil.bsky.social and @saraslt.bsky.social for their wonderful supervision, and to all the PPI contributors. Thanks to Dr Rebecca Brewer and Dr Helge Gillmeister for a great viva conversation! #interoception #autism #sleep

Congratulations on the paper being published Kirralise! (and hello from your BRNET friend 👋)

@cliodhnacarroll.bsky.social
hello, Dr. Carrol! Conas at tú? I seem to remember you did the Visceral Minds summer school. How was it? Would you recommend it?

Yes

#SleepPeeps... If my students and I did a study on #dreaming, and tried to recruit participants on Bluesky, would you do it?

Would involve 30min Zoom meeting and recording your dreams + answering lengthy surveys across a week or so. Small $$ compensation.

__yes
__no

Thanks for the heads up about this. Booked in (and joined).

Looking forward to it! 😁

Just have to finish editing thesis between now and then 🙈

Thank you Erin! 🧠📈😴🙏🙌

Research poster with image of person with a hot water bottle. QR code linking to survey. Text in image research is exploring how body temperature and body signals might affect sleep for individuals, including autistic people.

#askingautistics please fill out my survey to help with my research about body signals & sleep. I’d be grateful & you could win fifty quid

Hoping for both #ActuallyAutistic & non-autistic participants.

Sharing & responses appreciated!

If you haven’t completed the survey yet why not do it now? 😊

Hoping to find out how these issues are affecting people in different ways. Temperature seems to be really important for sleep.

I hope you find something that works for you 👍

Hi there, I’m glad to have a new space to follow researchers and clinicians. I’m a clin psych doctoral student researching the relationship between sleep and interoception (particularly body temp) for autistic people.

Really liking bluesky so far!

Great!
I’ve only been on here about ten minutes. Got an invite through the pool you suggested- so thanks!

Make me think of Locus Coeruleus - the ‘blue spot’
