The judges said: "This highly impressive piece, published in Early Human Development, made an important contribution through looking at the impact of physiotherapy via a large prospective study and sophisticated analyses. Although physiotherapy did not have the expected impact this in itself was an important finding with considerable real-world practice implications."
The judges said: "This longitudinal study using real school data tested the impact of just that little bit extra sleep (20 minutes) on daytime tiredness and attitude towards life amongst adolescents. Although the extra sleep did not quite give the advantage expected this null result was in itself an important finding in a very significant area for our everyday lives."

Dr Liz Blagrove (Psychology)
Born-again Psychologist and Jill of many trades, I'm now enjoying my ‘heyday’ as an emotion scientist. I research, teach and talk to anyone about my passion for cognition, emotion, facial processing, individual differences, positive psychology and executive functions. My first love in engagement activity is talking to children about human behaviour- particularly their emotions, similarities and differences. However, writing and presenting on all these topics- and the way they interact with our everyday lives - keeps me smiling... even on bad days!
