📣 New preprint out from the lab! We introduce emotional bandwidth: how much of your emotional state space you move through daily. Wider negative emotional bandwidth predicted more depressive symptoms, even beyond standard affect metrics, and linked to loneliness via depression. Thread below👇

The vast troves of health data generated during everyday medical care should be treated like essential public infrastructure—governed as a regulated utility rather than left fragmented across private silos, argue the authors of a new #SciencePolicyForum. https://scim.ag/4btOrfm

AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current quality checks fail
