I filed my taxes and went to the dentist today, let me know if you need any other ideas to have a fun day 🫶
The container we autoclave stuff in broke as I was taking it out today and my options were a)burn patch of arm on autoclave or b) drop multiple containers of very hot liquid. How’s everyone else’s Monday going
Is my depression cured or was it just above 80 degrees in Denver today
Digital phenotyping uses smartphone & wearable data to study mental health, but many methods rely on static summaries. @axelconstant.bsky.social, @lenapl.bsky.social & co propose dynamic digital markers that better capture how behavior & physiology change over time. www.nature.com/articles/s44...
Setting digital psychiatry in motion: towards dynamic digital markers for digital phenotyping - NPP—Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience
Digital phenotyping uses information from smartphones and wearable devices to track patterns in behavior and physiology related to mental health. Most current methods summarize this data in ways that ...

Excited to share this paper! My co-authors and I did a deep dive into smartphone language to understand indicators of suicide risk in adolescents. One of our goals was to compare AI indicators to clinician ratings. Take a look!
🆕 paper from @isaactreves.bsky.social @paulbloom.bsky.social @prof-nick-allen.bsky.social et al using natural language processing to detect suicide risk. They demonstrated elevations in suicidal language & negative sentiment before hospitalization in adolescents. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

#InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience I checked out this book so many times my parents gave me my own copy for Christmas… 20 years later, it was at my thesis defense and now in my postdoc office. Thankful for all of the supportive women in my life that have helped make this journey successful 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Recapping the #ACNP2026 study group, “Centering Lived Experience in Psychiatric Neuroscience Research” We asked the panelists, what could NIH leadership do to be more supportive of trainees with non-traditional career paths, which is common among researchers with lived experience of mental illness?
I was just watching this online last night (I was registered online) and it was such a good session. Anyone who hasn't watched it yet and had access to the recordings should make sure they watch it while they still have access (before Feb 16 ) Thanks to the speakers for sharing their experiences

Diversity supplements weren’t just for folks from underrepresented racial/ethnic backgrounds. Eligibility extended to first gen college students and researchers with disabilities, among others Cancelling these supplements limits opportunities for the next generation of scientists, as explained here

Few websites are as integral to my success as a scientist as the bookmarked website I use to tell me how old all my mice are
Just spoke to The Hill about how the dismantling of the NIH is impacting science in America. We still face a cliff of unfathomable heights, w easily 1000+ labs poised to close in the next year due to funding ending. A generation of young scientists lost because there is nowhere for them to train.
