New JAMA article proposing "systems collapse" to understand suicide. I think this is a viable framing (like fundamental state-shifts in network models, except a shift to the destruction of the network). But I disagree that betting more on biomarkers will get us there. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Academic things that feel silly: Writing a structured abstract for a conceptual paper. Objective: We set out to think this through. Method: We thought, many times. Results: We have thoughts. Conclusion: We think our thoughts are worthwhile.

“They have a fully functioning academic medical center to get the patient data - you have a clinic that may or may not have a roof” 🤣 too real 🫣😬

I didn't necessarily learn anything new in this article, but it was good to see it written up in a fairly comprehensive way. It is very important to keep reporting about the destruction of the American scientific enterprise by the Trump administration. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/31/c...

Maybe they should try giving people less reasons to protest? Just thinking aloud here…

The ultimate hack for therapists to learn irreverence in DBT is to pretend you're from Massachusetts and we don't talk about this enough in the literature. 🤣

We were founded 14 years ago after 20 children and six educators were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary. Fast forward to today: Our children continue to be gunned down in schools. Moms will never stop until every child can come home from school safely, without the threat of gun violence.

They wanted the imprimatur and status of the university without any of the shared governance and oversight that provides legitimacy. This is a grift and I hope it fails.
