Did you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)?
Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"
1. Transparency is necessary for credibility
2. Transparency is hard to change
3. Require transparency*
4. Transparency is not magic
5. Journals are part of problem
6. Expect more from journals
7. Peer review is not magic
8. A crisis can look a lot like „normal“ science
9. Meta-analysis is not magic
Yay, congratulations Prof!! 🍾🎈
"We should be having open debates to hear the viewpoints of people who disagree with one another, both at conferences or in journals. But those in power do not want that, they shut it down and in my view that is not just unscientific but also unethical."– Heidi Hjelmeland

Hello everyone!
A friend of mine, Dr Alastair Cockburn, wrote this *very important* paper. This reading is a must to work in the field of suicide prevention. It highlights many of the problems of using AI and prediction tools in clinical settings.

🌈 Do you know anyone passionate about researching LGBTQ+ suicide, suicide prevention and suicide bereavement, experienced in qualitative methods, and looking for work?
Send them my way because I'm recruiting for a post-doctoral research fellow!

I successfully defended my Habilitation today, and was honoured by the committee’s positive feedback. I am very grateful for my colleagues, collaborators and students at the University of Bern who made this a very rewarding journey.
You're an inspiration of dedication, hard work, transparency, honesty, commitment, and integrity, my friend! The University of Bern is very lucky to have you, so are we all for the opportunity to learn so much from you!!

Absolutely incredible journey!!
netECR (International Network of Early & Mid-Career Researchers in Suicide & Self-Harm; an independent, intl. network of early-career and mid-career researchers working in or contributing to the field of self-harm/suicide research) moves to Bluesky (1.691 followers on X)

Intervening on a central node in a network likely does little given that its connected neighbors will "flip it back" immediately. Happy to see this position supported now.
"Change is most likely [..] if it spreads first among relatively poorly connected nodes."

Very interesting and (at least for me) surprising findings in this study where #fathers seem to be at higher risk of suicide attempts during perinatal periods.

Thanks Jamie! This is very interesting and a good start for me to begin understanding more about the topic! Cheers buddy - hope you’re doing well! 🙏🏼
The Commission sets out 12 key recommendations, including:
💡 Decriminalise self-harm
🤝 Co-produce care with lived experience
🪷 Invest in culturally adapted interventions
📊 Improve global data & monitoring

Fascinating data. There are three things here that really matter to people, and they think matter to everyone:
Healthcare
Economy
Prices
There is ONE thing that they assume matters to everyone, because it dominates so much of the narrative, but it is NOT affecting them personally:
Immigration
Wow, thanks Jamie! This is very very interesting and I wasn't very aware of that. Following your publication, I've been wondering whether this has reached qualitative research too?
I also have worked with many families bereaved by suicide whose loved ones were classified as “low risk” before they ended their own lives. In addition, the NICE guidance is clear, so is the evidence. I think researchers should just stop trying to predict who will die or who will survive…
It’s actually very sad to see that risk prediction has never gone away, despite so much evidence demonstrating how awful we are at predicting suicide and its related outcomes. This is an incredibly important piece of work that we should all read.

@debruine.bsky.social lovely to see you here :D
Hope you're doing well!
Research shows that culturally responsive and safe mental health care is not only ethical – it's also more effective in meeting young people and their family's needs.
