I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

⭐Research highlight: A review and meta-analysis uses a new approach to control for confounders, and finds no link between paracetamol use in pregnancy & neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology, & Women’s Health https://www.nature.com/articles/d41591-026-00005-7

Academic milestone I never wanted to celebrate: Nearly 1 year waiting for reviews at @nature.com journal Molecular Psychiatry. Multiple follow-ups. No movement. We provided 30+ reviewer suggestions months ago.

Can we automate clinical assessment of thought disorder by finetuning an #LLM? Come find out at our #ACNP2026 poster this evening (Tue) #12!

Long due: "Resilience Beyond Diagnosis" out as preprint! Higher resilience to depression—defined as better-than-expected mental health given cumulative risk—showed no concurrent brain differences, but prospectively predicted lower GMV in orbitofrontal cortex & temporal pole. doi.org/10.64898/202...

Proud to share that I’ve joined the Tang Lab, where I’ll be working on natural language processing approaches to predict social functioning in schizophrenia. Excited to work with this incredible team led by @stanglab.bsky.social at @northwellhealth.bsky.social. Ready to go, new lab mug in hand ☕️

Massive congrats to Janik to this amazing publications - so well deserved!!

Excited to receive an SfN Trainee & Professional Development Award 🎉 I’ll be presenting our new machine learning preprint showing how cortical thickness predicts socioeconomic disadvantage across development in the ABCD Study. Grateful to share this work at #SfN2025 in San Diego!

✨ New paper ✨ in JAMA Pediatrics! We discuss how understanding the timing ⏰ of stressful events relative to neurodevelopment can help us better identify risk factors (looking backward) and predict future psychopathology (looking forward) at the individual level #neuroskyence #devpsych #PsychSciSky

📆 Mark your calendars for our next webinar: Inside Adolescence: Substance Use Patterns, Predictions, Risk, and Resilience in the #ABCDStudy®. The webinar will be held twice on Monday, September 8th, to accommodate different time zones. Sign up: abcdstudy.org/webinar-sept...

Really enjoyed working with the team on this one. It’s important for the field to hold each other accountable. Here’s why we cannot say “having two children might be best for women’s mental health” ⬇️

📃Commentary just published! We take a closer look at a recent study titled: “Having two children might be best for women’s mental health” Here’s why that conclusion deserves a second look 🧵

Awesome new work by an all-star team! 🧠🎉

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 We used machine learning to examine how early life adversity ⚠️ is associated with the adolescent brain 🧠 in the ABCD Study across 7 adversity dimensions and 3 timepoints. 👉https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.11.659188v1

📢 Publication Alert! Excited to share our new paper on brain functional changes after naturalistic CBT in patients with depression. 🧠📉 Read it here 👉 doi.org/10.1192/bjp.... @tianaborgers.bsky.social @trr393.bsky.social #Depression #CBT #NeuralCorrelates #MentalHealth #Neuroscience

Come for @itaiyanai.bsky.social and Alexander ... stay to drink some beers through my presentation!

So proud to be part of the 2025 AWSM awardees across Northwell Health, recognized for our contributions to research and medicine! I feel incredibly lucky to be in a community that uplifts and champions women in science, and to share this moment with so many brilliant researchers!

🏠📉 New research in @jama.com (JAMA Network Open) highlights the impact of housing instability on children's mental health. We explored how stress about eviction or housing loss affects child depression, anxiety, ADHD, & behavioral problems. #HousingInstability jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... /1

Flourishing – a state in which all aspects of a person’s life are good – should be the goal of people and nations everywhere. Yet, for something so central to all our lives, research efforts on flourishing have, so far, been woefully inadequate. https://go.nature.com/4iCbrJt

A little late, but still feeling energized after #SOBP2025! I‘m super grateful for the chance to reconnect with familiar faces and the ability to meet new colleagues.

Excited to share our latest preprint looking at the neuroanatomical basis of impulsivity in youth! 🧠

Hi! We are the SFB/TRR 393 "Trajectories of Affective Disorders: Cognitive-Emotional Mechanisms of Symptom Change" - a transregional @dfg.de collaborative research center & interdisciplinary team of researchers working together to better understand what influences the course of affective disorders👇🏻🧵

New Paper! Online now in JAMA Psychiatry, we have performed a large-scale Mendelian Randomization study of circulating proteins in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, and cognitive task performance.

"The academic structure … makes planning for a family feel like an impossible luxury." In this #ScienceWorkingLife, two postdocs share how, as women in academia, having children can feel impossible—and how talking about it makes them feel less alone. scim.ag/3F60VMt #InternationalWomensDay

MARK YOUR CALENDAR for #BrainAwarenessWeek at Mount Sinai! For 13 years the #FriedmanBrainInstitute has joined the @danafoundation.bsky.social in its global efforts to increase public awareness of the progress & benefits of brain research. JOIN US during March for some incredible #BRAIN events!

Just a reminder for anyone who receives SPSS, Stata, or SAS files but does not have licenses for these programs (🙋), you can import any of these files into #rstats and work them! My favorite package for working with these files is {haven}. haven.tidyverse.org

SAVE THE DATE: #resilience2025 - the 11th International Symposium on Resilience Research - Mainz, Germany - September 24-26, 2025 Satellite methods workshop: September 23 & many opportunities for early-career researchers Meet the stress resilience research community, get latest insights, spur you

I guess this bears repeating👇🏼

From a source at NIH, some grants may be nixed because the investigator’s bio sketch mentions DEI-related activities, even if the science itself has nothing to do with it.

"Even NIH officers don’t know what will happen next." In our latest @science.org Working Life essay, an assistant professor expresses frustration with stalls at NIH and asks: "Will my grants ever be reviewed?" @vjrp.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti...

“assess the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and weight-loss drugs” These medications save lives. This is not ok. 🧪

Louder for the people in the back : "Abortion bans were associated with increases in infant mortality. These increases were larger for populations that already experienced higher than average rates of infant mortality." #trustinscience

Find our current work on effects of childhood sexual abuse as a preprint here!

Now more than ever, it is important to elevate voices and enact change. It was a privilege to represent The Feinstein Institutes and @northwellhealth.bsky.social yesterday at the 10th Anniversary of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The stars are the limit🚀✨

For those submitting NIH grants for the March deadline: a colleague noted they have had grant proposals removed from consideration because they included plans to "examine how brain functioning relates to sex differences in psychiatric illness symptom expression". We are also revising...👇🧵

Psychologists and psych-adjacent folks concerned about NIH indirect costs reduction: APA has a petition and request you contact your reps. This means APA has decided to pursue this, so I think we should too: www.votervoice.net/Shares/BAAAA...

Speechless.

Recent executive orders targeting marginalized communities underscore the urgent need for inclusive biomedical research. Our latest work, now out in print, explores how interconnected social identities impact brain biology and mental health, providing a roadmap for more equitable research.

Excited to share our latest work on including "high-motion" minoritized youth to increase the representation of brain-behavior relationships in the ABCD Study. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti....
