Our latest study! Published in Nature Mental Health today, we show that bright days and dark nights are of fundamental importance for mental health. Individual light exposure data from >85,000 people…14 million hours of light data. Epic!
Led by @anguscburns with @circadianumbers, Dan Windred, and a great team!

Symptoms of OCD are distressing & disabling but 1/2 of people with OCD do not remit with current therapies
7 years ago, @LucaCocchi78 & I embarked on a sham-controlled RCT to assess prefrontal TMS in reducing OCD symptoms & frontostriatal connectivity

Medicinal #cannabis — or tetrahydrocannabinol and #cannabidiol — has been proven to reduce symptoms of #Tourette Syndrome.
Findings from the ground-breaking clinical trial have been published in the US-based @NEJMEvidence: evidence.nejm.org/doi/full/1…
LachlanWebb retweeted
Absolutely thrilled that this was published in @NEJMEvidence on International #TourettesAwarenessDay & that we have provided methodologically robust evidence that cannabinoids are an efficacious treatment option for #Tourette syndrome!
