Many congratulations Samia Akhter-Khan on your American Psychological Association 'Outstanding Paper Award' for your paper exploring a novel framework for understanding #loneliness in older adulthood 👏. Hugely important factor for #healthyageing - both physically & mentally. Keep up the good work! 🙌 😊
Thanks to Association for Psychological Science for the opportunity to host brilliant researchers. In this episode, Samia Akhter-Khan enlightened us about the difference between loneliness and social isolation & the challenges of doing research in rural regions of the world.
In this recent APS podcast episode, I speak about our new loneliness theory––the SRE framework––and challenges to conducting psychological research in LMIC, specifically in conflict settings such as #Myanmar .

Social connection is an under-recognised social determinant of health.
Today, World Health Organization (WHO) launches the Commission on Social Connection to catalyse global leadership.
Excited to work with world-class Commissioners to harness the #PowerOfConnection : bit.ly/WHO-CSC
Happening now: Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus launches @who Commission on Social Connection
“Social isolation and loneliness increase the rates of dementia, stroke, cardiovascular disease and many other health issues. The Commission will explore how to increase attention and will propose solutions”
Improving social connection can be a low cost, high yield approach to improving both health span and lifespan for the global community says Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General Co-chair of the new World Health Organization (WHO) Global Commission on Social Connection

Excited to lead this project and tackle #walkability and #loneliness from older and low-income residents’ perspectives in #Camden together with Muki Haklay, Nick Tyler Rachael Frost and Jenny Mindell.
The Mental Elf has always been a great resource for accurate, accessible and free coverage of the latest MH research. Also v supportive towards ECRs. Would be a great shame to lose it. Help an elf out and consider donating.
Do consider applying for this excellent #PhD programme. Many students currently on the programme have done projects relating to #loneliness & #socialisolation and taken up the opportunity to investigate these topics using an interdisciplinary approach. Last chance to apply!
