A crowdsourced megastudy of 12 digital single-session interventions for depression in US adults Nature Human Behaviour - An online experiment compared 12 brief online interventions for depression. Most improved mental health immediately, but these gains decreased over time, with only two...

Our crowdsourced megastudy comparing a diverse set of 12 single-session interventions for depression is out today in @nathumbehav.nature.com!

Line graph of the number new and competitive renewal grants funded by NIH in fiscal year 2026 through February 20, compared to fiscal years 2020-2025. The fiscal year 2026 is well below the other curves.

New and Competitive Renewals

Only 803 grants have been made compared to ~2650 in fiscal years 2023 and 2024 through February 20.

All institutes and centers (include OD now) have made awards except NIAAA, NLM, NCCIH, and FIC.

This is my favorite analogy of all time

Happy match day eve to all who are celebrating 🤞

I've been thinking lately about how our field seems to have moved on to other conversations (AI AI AI AI AI AI AI AI), and yet none of our existing problems (pre-degree fellowship, EPPP, licensure laws) have budged... 🆘

New paper from our team: Can ML identify which adolescents benefit most from school-based mindfulness?

In 8,376 students (MYRIAD trial), models detected statistically significant but clinically negligible differential effects (d ≈ .07–.08).

Precision prevention is hard...

Make it make sense?

I'm looking for a postdoc to work on our NIH-funded R01 which is a longitudinal cohort of adolescents (13-20) doing EMA and passive text sensing! Please apply, especially if you have experience in the analysis OR collection of these data.
