New paper out in npj Digital Medicine:
We used high-resolution smartphone screenshots (7.5 million) to examine real-time links between screen time and suicide risk.
Findings suggest short-term increases in screen time are associated with elevated risk.

Had a blast teaching SEM at #APS2025! Great group of workshop attendees asking thoughtful, engaging questions. Hopefully folks learned something and had fun in the process!

8 mo home sick from daycare. No big deal but marathon kinda day. Circa hour 11 of the waking day we’re watching Ms Rachel and all of a sudden, I swear to God, she goes:
“Can you say … help? … HELP … heeeeeelp …”
And my brain starts to break, just a little. 😅😂🤣

I have neither beneficence nor respect for the persons who created the extremely long CITI Training Good Clinical Practice modules and mandatory 100% quiz question pass rate requirement. 😒

The negative binomial is just like the regular binomial, except everything is terrible and nothing matters and what’s even the point?

It is only our hubris that ever led us to name it “the negative binomial distribution” instead of “the Poisson distribution with wiggly gamma means.”

I can’t catch a break.
But I *can* catch literally every virus my daughter picks up at daycare.

One of the old FIU cybersecurity trainings talked about building a ‘strong shield’ against cybersecurity threats.
Now, when I report a phishing email or text, in my head, I’m like, “FUCK YOU, MY SHIELD IS STRONG!”
Not sure if that means that the training was effective or not.

Due to various circumstances, I've been working in my office on campus instead of at home this morning.
It is extremely cold in my office.
Which makes me wonder if hell literally froze over the second I decided to come here. 🤔

I've gotten through all of my materials and ended class early two weeks in a row, and now I am both excited and scared.
