I created a psych post-bac list. Would a post-doc listserv be helpful? I'm already sending them to my own students, so if you'd like emails from me about post-doc opportunities I see, please put your email in this google sheet and I'll add you to it! forms.gle/d5tzw8ftZtp9EteP6

Very excited our new paper available open-access via @dpn_journal! We evaluated objected features derived from automated speech and language processing as markers of #psychosis symptoms over time. rdcu.be/erkV0
