I’m just not certain they initially expected this in 1.0. They’re genuinely trying now but I think they were really (maybe naively) surprised. And they’re still not all cognitively sure how to handle it + plus government rules make sharing/not sharing a nightmare.

It also took me like 30 minutes and I was genuinely baffled. I've definitely filled out more tedious government forms before.

If you calculate how much money is spent in man hours for updating your official documents, it costs somewhere within your salary because it’s what you’re paid to do.

I got this same email! They were some great ideas that I already had and either am/will/don't want to do.

You know what's worse than mandatory web-based trainings? Mandatory web-based trainings when the voice acting is so clearly AI.

We all ran towards that enrollment cliff. It’s going to be really bumpy :/

“this isn’t a publicity stunt” if you know Colin, you know it’s 100% a publicity stunt

I think that's a judgement authors and reviewers and editors may differ on, depending on the extensiveness of revisions. Sure, not everything needs to go back out and people can lean on reviewer arbitrage, and also getting it back out can be helpful. I just dont think its super straightforward.

I think we do, and also need to bandaid the system. Submissions are up, reviewer interest is down, and pressure to get *more* submissions are also up. It's exceedingly hard to balance all the stakeholders, and someone is going to be upset.

Secondary data analysis of studies I've worked on for years really spikes my anxiety. Like, what do you mean the data is processed and cleaned?? And I can just do my tests and be done??

To be fair, you’d have to actually care about an issue to not immediately ignore a prime example of Simpsons Paradox.

Drugs are cool and all, but have you ever experienced the absolute high of spending two hours in the most anxious state of your life, wondering if you solved some minor problem from three years ago that definitely would kill your data/study, only to find out you did - in fact - solve that problem?

In this perspective, a mother recounts her son’s struggle with severe childhood mental illness, marked by shifting diagnoses/medications & persisting symptoms, despite expert care; she calls for more rigor in diagnosing & treating pediatric mental illness

Typically the "received" date is the date the journal first received it. It is *possible* that the new minor version came in under a different manuscript # or other issue, but likely not.

Incredible thanks to the ENIGMA-PTSD group for being so willing to collaborate, for the help with processing, and for all their advice. Also thanks to the open data initiatives like the HCP! /end

The paper has some, I think, interesting ideas but the main takeaways imo are:

1) Really seems like something about early visual cortex is important for both acute and future PTSD symptoms.
2) This may be specific to traumatic stress, but this is going to need some more work... 6/

We also borrowed data from the Human Connectome Project (i.e., a "healthy*" young adult population), reconstituting the same network, and looked at associations with more general stress - of which we saw none.

*"Healthy" of course being subjective.... 5/

So, the ENIGMA-PTSD group kindly lent me their data to investigate if early visual covariance is related to PTSD symptoms. We (thankfully) replicated our earlier findings in a smaller sample, showing that more severe PTSD is related to lower early visual covariance. 4/

It would be nice, however, to be able to demonstrate in a heterogenous sample that this flipped association in those with chronic PTSD is consistent.

It would be even nicer, however, to show this may be specific to PTSD. 3/

We've spent quite a bit of time in recent trauma survivors showing that structural covariance of ventral and early visual regions are predictive of acute PTSD symptoms, and perhaps changes in this covariance underlies the maintenance of chronic PTSD symptoms. 2/

Is the ventral visual stream important in chronic PTSD? Maybe! We replicate and extend earlier findings from recent trauma survivors in the large (n=~2000) ENIGMA-PTSD sample showing covariance of this circuit is related to PTSD severity.

Sauron was a complicated being. True, he waged a genocide against the race of men and sought to plunge middle earth into an age of darkness. But! He was also a champion of diversity (he had easterlings in his armies :)).

"Only people not in the .1% are unemployed" is such a wild thing to say with your whole chest.

Specifically, *some* of them kids.

I’ve had Nathan complain about one of my papers and it was clear he didn’t read it lol. I’d have a lot more sympathy for “academic freedom” if it was actually academic as opposed to feels and vibes.

lol. lmao, even.
