It's #BlueMonday again. And this is all you'll ever need to read to know the 'truth' about it
Which is that it's a ridiculous marketing stunt that got way out of hand and impacted me more than most people
3 good things for today:
- wellies that don't leak

For all women in science Eleanor Maguire should be an inspiration. Unlike Rosalind Franklin, her contribution was fully appreciated during her lifetime. So it is fitting that in 2008 she was awarded the Rosalind Franklin medal by the Royal Society. #neuroscience #psychology

Use generative AI to overcome these limitations and design groundbreaking tools or solutions to revolutionize mental health measurement.
Conventional methods of assessing mental health, such as clinical interviews & self-report questionnaires, often have limitations:
β‘οΈSubjective recollection of symptoms
β‘οΈLimited, moment-in-time snapshots
