I, honestly, feel very honored to receive this award... I read a number of papers from Dr. Reeb-Sutherland when I was starting my dissertation. She was a real trailblazer! Thanks to @isdp.org and their award selection committee!

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Transdiagnostic latent factor models of psychopathology are widely assumed to improve brain-behaviour associations. So we decided to test this directly and found that they don't. A short 🧵 Link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/10
