@atulbutte.bsky.social was an incredible giant. I will add -- in addition to his huge contributions to science, he was an immensely kind and thoughtful person, and a wonderful and committed mentor. He was exactly the kind of person we hope our senior faculty will be, and we will miss him terribly!
I heard this morning that my informatics colleague Dr. Atul Butte passed after a battle with cancer. He was a giant in the field & inspired many of us over his distinguished career. He was a passionate champion of the power of big data & his impact on our field is immeasurable. RIP Atul & thanks.

Excited to be at my first ACNP meeting at #ACNP2024 -- thanks SO much to @acnporg.bsky.social for supporting me through one of this year's Travel Awards.

If you're also interested in the use of AI in behavioral health and at the meeting, I'd love to meet -- and please stop by my poster on Tuesday!
