Increasingly baffled by "AI powered" summaries and searches on academic papers. firstly, the abstract is the summary, secondly if I need to understand something about the paper, I can read it? if I need to find a specific phrase ctrl f does absolutely fine

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

This seems bizarre to me, and perhaps due to viewing lived experience as simply a matter of whether people fit in one box or another.

So now they're developing AI-simulated patient & public involvement/engagement (PPIE) panels and claiming it will ensure 'more inclusive' and 'diverse' patient involvement (by simulating lived experience of those harder to recruit to panels).

In February 2024, I wrote Scientific Reports about a published meta-analysis claiming that mindfulness interventions affect neural plasticity, 'cementing the neuropsychological basis of mindfulness-based interventions'.

The paper was retracted yesterday—here a little summary of the process.🧵

The problem is that mental health services in this country are not very well funded and for more complex types of therapy people have to wait. What are they going to do in the meantime? Look for information online

I agree with this. I also felt that mental health awareness started to become less about people with mental health problems, than people wanting something to post on social

Is mental health 'awareness' backfiring?

theneuroscienceofeve...

Data suggests that #mentalhealth stigma is actually on the rise. Are more awareness campaigns needed, or are they part of the problem?

My latest post offers multiple possible explanations.

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2025
Is mental health 'awareness' backfiring? It's mental health awareness week, again. But the latest data shows that mental health stigma is increasing, not decreasing. What's going on there? And has mental health awareness gone 'too far'?
