RESEARCHER ANNOUNCEMENT! GLAD is now in the analysis phase to achieve our aim of having lifestyle factors recognised and quantified as contributors to the global burden of common mental disorders. If you’re a researcher and want to get involved, email: [email protected]

Between the 2 of us, Jared Ashtree and I have graduated 5 times from Science at Melbourne and 1 from UniMelb MDHS (emphasis on the Health Science), but there was something extra special about this one! Feel like we should officially change our names to 'Science power couple'!

Finally a member of the floppy hat society! And I'm so happy to be able to graduate (in person) alongside Jared Ashtree 😃
A massive thank you to my superstar supervisors Katrina and Jeff Craig!

Most people living with an eating disorder experience gut problems e.g. bloating, constipation & nausea. Nutritionist & PhD Researcher Madeline West is studying what impact gut problems have on those living with an eating disorder. Link to participate: tinyurl.com/IGI-EDStudy

And just like that my final #PhD study is live for data collection!

Please share far and wide so we can learn more about the impact of #gastrointestinal symptoms on individuals living with an eating disorder.
