Ya, I’m signing off this app.

I loved when I could use this space to talk about science & mental health.

Sadly, X’s algorithm doesn’t favor thoughtful discourse.

To practice what I preach & prioritize my own mental health, I’m logging off.

"Mental health is so important" is a phrase said by just about everyone - the public, politicians, & big corporations...

But rarely is this phrase followed by action to hire more providers, pay them their worth, or make MH services more accessible/affordable for the public.

My first article has reached 100 citations!

I'd like to celebrate by re-posting a summary of the work.

We studied how depression is depicted publicly on social media by analyzing 327 YouTube videos.

We were surprised by our findings 😲🧵⬇️

Some unsolicited advice for ranking clinical psych internships.

Internship is not only a professional decision, but a life choice for the next 2-3 yrs.

Consider where you'll want to live, post-doc/job opps & your family circumstances.

Internship = a fresh start post-PhD
