    Have you ever been depressed (or know someone who is) and wondered, what the hell just happened? The bad news is that scientists don’t really know yet. The better news is that I have a new idea which could help. My new paper accepted @ BJPS 🥳.

    Some life news: Cecily moves to Scotland! Excited, now that its official, to say I’ll be taking up a permanent Lectureship in St Andrews this September. I’m still can’t believe how lucky I am to be joining such an amazing department to continue my research on depression.

    I gave a talk yesterday. A visiting student in my department - who continued to interrupt and mansplain to me about the topic I have spent all summer researching - just sent me this helpful advice. And to think I used to think sexism in philosophy was a myth.

    Depression is more than a low mood, it’s a shift in consciousness -- My new piece (co-authored with @birchlse) is out in Aeon+Psyche!
