Congratulations @tvpollet.bsky.social, and thank you for your wonderful contributions. 👏🏼🙏🏼😊
🚨WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT🚨
EHBEA wants to congratulate @tvpollet.bsky.social
on earning the EHBEA Award on Services to the Community 👏
My commentary on @bruceellis.bsky.social, @briemreid.bsky.social & Karen Kramer’s recent #BBS article (tinyurl.com/299yvjd5) is just out. I enjoyed the target article, and also the challenge of writing a response with data in it - especially keeping it all under 1000 words! doi.org/10.1017/S014...
😢 This is one of the many things I dislike about driving. I actually do count the roadkill.
“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath
50 reasons to want more walkable cities.
Really interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Much of the work I'll speak about was done in collaboration with @danielnettle.bsky.social, who's theoretical model started it all, and Dr Richard Brown, who co-authored the paper I'll be presenting on: doi.org/10.1093/emph...
I feel proud to be speaking alongside some fantastic speakers. We'll hear from Professor Derek Tracy, Dr Riadh Abed, Professor Robin Dunbar, Professor Samir Okasha, Professor Christopher Stringer, Dr Paul St John-Smith, Dr Annie Swanepoel, and Dr Nikhil Chaudhary, who aren't yet on Bluesky.
Proud to be part of the lineup for this exciting event at the @roysocmed.bsky.social. I talk about perceived control over risk, why it matters for health behaviour, and what role the relationship plays in amplifying health inequalities. www.rsm.ac.uk/events/psych...
