I put some more work into the suicide research feed for the new year.

Excited to see this paper, led by powerhouse Colin Conwell, finally out! In this work, we wanted to understand the puzzling relationship between seeing & feeling:

Why is the belief in meritocracy so pervasive?

New article argues that the dose–response schema for causes and effects may encourage us to believe that what we get out of life depends on what we put in:

"More effort = more success!"

I created a feed for people who are interested in suicidology, or research on suicide, self harm, and related topics. It also tends to pick up other public reports, like newspaper articles, and job postings, which feels like more of a feature than a bug.

Oliver Sacks = forever one of the most brilliant minds & writers we’ll ever have. After the recent publication of his letters (which I can’t stop reading), I’m brought back to when I first discovered his writing. I dream of living the life he did.

Maybe we should train ChatGPT to talk like him ;).

“I have all the disadvantages, as I have all the advantages, of being a Non-Establishment, Non-Established, person—I rove freely and widely;…but I have no department, no courses, no colleagues, no help, no ‘position’ (and for good measure no ‘security,’ and almost no ‘means’).” —Oliver Sacks in 1976

Are digital interventions for depression effective?

We ran 3,638 meta-analyses on 125 RCTs (32,733 participants) to find out.

Effect sizes ranged from small to medium (Hedges’ g = 0.16–0.74), with guided interventions & LMICs showing greater benefits.
