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...

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 😀

@marloz-cas.bsky.social a useful thread below on preprints!

Anna Clemens, PhD @annaclemens.com · Mar 25

Preprints are a useful tool when you want to get your science out fast (e.g. when you think you may get scooped) or to get constructive feedback before submission to a journal.

But there are a few things to keep in mind. Here are 5 tips for preparing a preprint.

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...

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 😎🌲🎁🍑

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.
