It’s an exciting week for the PsyLife group. We’re presenting no fewer than 6 research papers in two of Europe’s most historic cultural capitals – Vienna and Florence.
Recent PsyLife Phd graduate, Dr Hannah Jongsma, and current PhD student Jean Stafford will both be in Florence for the 6th Biennial conference of the Schizophrenia International Research Society Hannah will be speaking as part of a symposium (Sala Verde, Sat 7 April, 10-12pm) on the prevention of psychosis, talking about her recent findings from the EU-GEI study . Congratulations to Jean, who won a Young Research travel award to attend the conference, and will be giving a poster presentation on variation in the incidence of very-late onset psychotic disorders using nationwide longitudinal cohort data. Her poster is S134 and she will be presenting in Poster Session III on Saturday 7th April, 12-2pm.
Meanwhile, over in Vienna, we have a PsyLife symposium at the 18th 19th(!) Section meeting of European Psychiatric Association’s Epidemiology and Social Psychiatry section. Our symposium, entitled Environments and psychosis: examining the causal evidence will feature our latest findings from the ALSPAC birth cohort and the SEPEA study on how neighbourhood environments are related to psychotic outcomes and comorbid personality disorders. We have talks from Dr James Kirkbride, Dr Francesca Solmi, Ka-Young Ban (PhD student) and Tayla McCloud (rortation PhD student). Do come along and find out more: Kursraum 22, Friday 6th April, 2-3.30pm.
Finally, we wanted to say a massive thank you and congratulations to Francesca, who will be leaving the PsyLife group to begin her own Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship on the epidemiology of eating disorders. Francesca has published several key papers with the group in her three years here , with several more still to come. We are sure you will go on to great successes, and thank you for being such an inspiring, helpful and knowledgeable member of the group!
