Anyone willing to confidentially share their successful 2025 VICI application docs with me? Thanks gang.
Delete your socks, people.

at-scale deanonymization...at high precision, given pseudonymous online profiles and conversations alone, matching what would take hours for a dedicated human investigator."
🧠🗣️ I’m co-editing a Neuropsychologia Special Issue:
“Language in Psychosis – A Multidisciplinary Approach”
We welcome contributions on:

Infoflyer für eine Umfrage zu therapeutischen Überzeugungen bei Zwangsstörungen. Gesucht werden Studierende im Master Klinische Psychologie für die Teilnahme an der Studie unter https://www.soscisurvey.de/T-A-F/. Als Dank winkt die Chance auf drei 15€ Amazon-Gutscheine.
Wie hängen Überzeugungen seitens Psychologie-Studierender im klinischen Master mit dem Einsatz von Expositionen mit Reaktionsverhinderung bei Zwangsstörungen zusammen?

Gerne an Master-Studierende weiterleiten, danke!
Better than ICE on the sidewalk though
We extended the deadline of our machine learning competition by a few weeks until mid March! Still time to participate. We currently have 233 participants with 111 total submissions (some of them will be test submissions etc).

Psychological translation differs from biomedicine, requiring frameworks tailored to psychological science!

Plus: Schwere Fälle melden sich ggf. weniger und können sich auch weniger hartnäckig melden. Was uns zu: wie helfen wir hier effektiver? bringt
🧵 New WP with @kaimiele.bsky.social. We document 2 unsettling patterns in mental health care: 1) despite universal coverage, few individuals with mental illness receive guideline-consistent treatment, and 2) the more severe the illness, the lower the treatment uptake & the longer the wait times. 1/n
Und selbst sollte dies so sein: Wäre auch bitter. Als ich in der Klinik gearbeitet hatte hatten wir immer „how to get therapy“ in einer Gruppensitzung gemacht. Und da wurde sehr schnell deutlich wie frustig das oft ist…
Mehr Kassensitze führen kaum zu reduzierten Wartezeiten, schwer belastete Fälle kommen trotzdem deutlich schwerer an einen Therapieplatz. Es braucht daher andere Instrumente:
This probably also says something about concepts described in ordinary language in psychology 😀

Russland schießt die Ukraine vor den Augen der Welt weiter in eine humanitäre Katastrophe. Und die Welt schaut weiter zu. Die Unterstützung reicht angesichts des russischen Energieterrors bei Minusgraden nicht aus. Das müssen die Partner anerkennen und daraus Handlungen ableiten.

A brief thread 🧵
What does the path from basic psychological science to clinical treatment actually look like?
We mapped 50 years of research in our new paper in Clinical Psychology Review with @abitter.bsky.social , Viktoria Ritter, @rief01.bsky.social , & Anke Haberkamp.

This first comprehensive mapping of #translational psychological treatment reveals:
🔬 Extinction learning, emotion regulation, & inhibitory learning are most translated
🐢 Preference for simpler mechanisms (methodological) and terminological inconsistencies (conceptual) impede progress

🎉 Happy to share a Letter with @rief01.bsky.social in @jama.com: We argue that clinicians should be aware of framing effects when communicating likelihoods. Eg, patients perceive "1 in 10 have side effects" as more concerning than "9 in 10 do not have side effects". jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
In der Ukraine gibt es in weiten Teilen keine Energieversorgung und die Menschen kompensieren mit ihrer Energie. Weil sie für ihre Freiheit kämpfen müssen. Meanwhile stimmen im Westen immer mehr Menschen in geheizten Wohnungen gegen ihre eigene Freiheit.
Really disappointed that @natmed.nature.com is amplifying propaganda that sets out to justify the destruction of biomedical research in the US and around the world. Just because people are in power does not mean journals should launder their credibility.
In many jurisdictions, people's lives have been ruined because they "pirated" a music album. Meanwhile, NVIDIA:
