As a mental health research assistant, writer and editor for Inspire the Mind, this is not the first time I have written about sexual violence, and I fear it will not be the last. Sexual violence is not new, nor is the outrage that follows it. For decades, women have shared their stories, challenged harmful attitudes and demanded greater accountability. Yet, despite these efforts, allegations of sexual violence continue to emerge, each a painful reminder of how much remains unchanged.

What does it take to conduct biological mental health research with young people, and what can get in the way? My name is Camila, and I’m a Research Assistant at the Stress Psychiatry and Immunology Lab at King’s College London. Around three years ago, I first joined the team during my undergraduate placement year, working primarily on the CELEBRATE project.

Disney+ has just released FURIOUS, a gripping new crime drama following FBI agent Alice Black as she becomes consumed by the hunt for Catherine Grace, a female serial killer. But FURIOUS is far from a simple game of cat and mouse. Alice and Catherine are both driven by their own ideas of justice, operating on opposite sides of the law while pursuing a similar purpose. As their lives become increasingly intertwined, the boundaries between justice and revenge begin to blur.
