My latest article, 'From biosociality to biosolidarity: the looping effects of finding and forming social networks for body-focused repetitive behaviours' has now been published with @AnthMedJournal! Available #openaccess here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

This week we're delving into the fascinating world of Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours or BFRBs.
Many of us are affected by these behaviours - hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting, but there is huge stigma and shame around them buff.ly/3ZCN7Q6

1 year of pain
1 year of loss
1 year of slaughter
1 year of robbed childhood
1 year of Israeli genocide
1 year of western collusion and moral bancrupcy
1 year of steadfastness
1 year of fighting back with daily acts of love
1 year closer to liberation
1 year to closer to a Palestinian tomorrow

Someone heckles Keir Starmer about the mass slaughter of children in Gaza.
Starmer laughs and suggests he got his pass from the 2019 Labour conference.
Genuinely vile behaviour.

Can you help us get this research right?
We don't have good information about how many children are struggling with BFRBs like hair-pulling, skin-picking, nail-biting etc. This is a chance to get information from a very large no of people across England.

@BFRB_UK_Ireland, thank you so much for warmly welcoming me into your family this weekend. I am still processing all of the amazing moments and connections. You undoubtedly changed lives and the ripples of that will go on and on. #LivedExperienceLeadership at it's very finest 🙌

And boy were we ambitious! We had an incredible, international, cast of speakers, on Day 1, and we covered a lot of ground in pursuit of understanding why some people pick, pull and bite at their hair, skin and nails. It's a puzzle of many pieces, and we made progress.

This event was different from a regular scientific conference. The Oxford and @BFRB_UK_Ireland teams were ambitious about the scientific programme, while also ensuring that our long-neglected BFRB community were front and centre.

That's a wrap on our #OxBFRBConf. I'm so grateful to everyone who organised, ran, catered, filmed/covered, funded, sponsored, spoke and attended both our scientific day at @morethanadodo and our community day at the University of Oxford's @OxPsychiatry.
