So that’s the end of my 10 day trip - solo travelling around Andalucia (Seville, Cádiz, Granada) ending with a conference in Almeria where I caught up with old friends and made some new ones. It’s a really lovely region to visit, couldn’t pick a favourite, but I do want to come back!

New paper from myself and Matt Gaskell (Northern Gambling Clinics) out today.

Commentary on excellent article from Phil Newall.

Perhaps of interest if you like your commercial determinants of health applied to addiction.

Excellent kayaking trip in the Louisiana swamp with @ambercopeland.bsky.social today in a short break from conferencing. Didn’t see any alligators, but it was very relaxing and my personal highlight was seeing this sneaky owl

Followed by a shrimp po boy in a dive bar for lunch. Could get in to this

Springtime cycling adventure, at Parsley Hay for a picnic. It’s not as warm as it looks

Hello!

Absolutely perfect conditions out here in the Peaks today - chef’s kiss. Completely clear, sunny, and you can’t hear anything apart from birds and sheep.

Frozen feet, however

Majestico! Unfettered!

Just about warm enough to sit outside for lunch to fortify me before the final hill. Making the most of my day off!

Oh to be a sheep….🚴🏼⛰️👍😎

First time out in the peaks since November I think! Relieved to see it is still here in all its springy sunny glory 👍😎🚴🏼⛰️

Year in Sport time! strava.app.link/HJkwSoznvPb. A bit of a dip from last year, but I guess that’s how ageing works, and things were looking great until about October when weather, work and lurgy combined to spoil my fun

Really running out of ideas now. Time for the little shit to go back to the North Pole

I recommend ordering it through your institution library, but if you are desperate to read a version of my chapter, here it is: osf.io/akrn7/

Thanks @katiew.bsky.social, Ingmar Franken and Reinout Wiers for inviting me to contribute and for doing all the hard work editing this book!

Great to receive the shiny physical copy of the book that I contributed to! I think it's a very comprehensive volume, really useful for up-to-date overviews of different research topics. I'll be using several chapters in my undergraduate teaching from 2025 onwards (1).
