Exciting news!! After 4 years, I'm so thrilled to share a preprint of our paper on building a formal mathematical and computational model of suicide.
This is the hardest I've ever worked on a paper, and it's some of the work I'm most proud of to date!

It’s here! Written by @DrMiaSmithBynum and an amazing group of scholars on the @APA task force! insidehighered.com/news/facu…. It’s time to fix systemic barriers to promotion and tenure if we want a science that truly represents all humans’ behavior!

Diversity, equity, and inclusion improve science, education, and scholarship. Period.
Stay tuned for an exciting release from @APA tomorrow.....!

If a student went to Stony Brook's master of social work program and then got a job at New York Presbyterian, w/ the avg salary of a licensed social worker.
Vs
If they did a postbacc through postdoc at Stony Brook and then got the avg salary of a licensed psychologist at NYP...
5 Sep 2023
Has anybody done a cost analysis of doing a PhD in clinical psych vs MSW?
Hoping someone has looked at:
postbacc vs MSW
8 year grad school vs 8 years working
Recently licensed psychologist vs experienced social work salary
At what point (if ever) does the income balance out?

Now in print, open access in Psychological Medicine! 🎉 doi.org/10.1017/S00332917230…
Thanks to you all for your enthusiastic response to the paper - it made it even more fun and rewarding for our team to work on.
Now onto modelling these pesky symptoms in real world data!
21 Mar 2023
Ever wondered how many symptoms make up all of adult psychopathology described in the DSM-5? It’s 628!
How many do you think repeat across multiple diagnoses? If you answered 231 symptoms repeating a total of 1022 times (median 3 times per symptom, range 2-22), good job!
🧵
ALT A plot of the repetition among the symptoms in the DSM-5 showing substantial overlap within and between chapters of diagnoses. 202 primary disorders and specifiers are represented, and diagnostic criteria have been split into a list of 1419 constituent symptoms. Each dot on the circumference is a symptom; its size represents symptom frequency. Lines linking symptoms map the repetition among diagnoses within and between chapters.
