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

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...

Breaking barriers: centering researchers with lived experience in psychiatric neuroscience - NPP—Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience

Researchers who live with serious mental illness or substance use disorders bring unique insight to psychiatric neuroscience, yet they remain underrepresented in the field. This paper calls for recogn...

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

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.
