You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
I see a lot of you talking about "dopamine" and I wish you'd go back to talking about your astrological signs because at least then you wouldn't be confusing yourself about a real thing

Very much enjoying this talk -- it provides a very nice counter-narrative. Doomerism about the younger generations is so depressing and not really justified given many tangible positive developments.

After decades studying adolescent mental health, here's what I found: This isn't an anxious generation. It's a resilient one. Let's start treating them that way. go.ted.com/candiceodgers

New paper out now 🥳 When psychologists discuss generalisability, they often refer to vague notions of representativeness. We provide an accessible intro to the total survey error framework as a tool to reason about this more rigorously. w @taymalsalti.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci >
Sobering: initial trials with huge effect, large follow-up trial showing no evidence for an effect. But practice is already locked in and criticism is defused by pointing to random effects meta-analyses which are necessarily dominated by the initial trials. polypharmacy.substack.com/p/we-should-...
We should stop running clinical trials that cannot change practice

At the risk of being a killjoy... the comments + quotes on this seem to interpret it to mean the study found no sex differences in the brain and that isn't really what it says. The paper is way more interesting than that. So I read it and made a thread as I went: 🧵 1/n

We also need better reporting. Only 35% of studies provided enough info to know the operationalization, and 56% reported no information at all. Reporting recommendations:
New commentary out in JCCP! In which I try to solve the problem of incomparable effect size estimates in clinical trials by recommending a standard, one-size-fits-most way to compute the standardized mean difference (SMD; e.g., Cohen’s d) in psychology trials. doi.org/10.1037/ccp0...
Excited to share a paper recently accepted at Nature Mental Health! 😄 For decades, we've assumed that covariance among psychopathology informs comorbidity. What if we’ve been wrong?
