Many thanks to @SarahRahal_ and @BostonGlobe for covering this work on our efforts to better predict/prevent suicide. Still a long way to go, but reason to be hopeful. thanks to @NockLabHarvard @the_CSRP @PsychHarvard
New #Harvard study by @mk_nock shows smartphones could help predict suicide risk with striking accuracy.
Suicide is the 2nd-leading cause of death for Americans ages 10–34. Half of ppl who die by suicide see a clinician in their final month. My latest: bostonglobe.com/2026/09/11/m…

A year ago, CDC made Cyclospora surveillance optional. It had been tracked for 28 years.
Today: ~3,000 cases across 31 states, no confirmed source, and CDC’s own count (843) is trailing what states are reporting by thousands.
Cases of cyclosporiasis, an intestinal infection caused by a parasite, are currently being reported in nearly three dozen states, according to an @ABC News tally. abcnews.link/TPc8HXf

“In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it.” — George Orwell, “1984”
RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'"
Trump: "Right"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Factual and mathematical error
A 100% reduction means the entire original value is removed, resulting in a final amount of zero. It signifies complete elimination or a 100% discount, such as a price dropping from $600 to 0$
increase from $100 to $600 is 500% increase

📢 New Publication Alert at JoPaCS! Many studies use variability as a proxy for flexibility across domains. Using emotion regulation as an example, we show that variability decoupled from context can be harmful volatility. Variability ≠ Flexibility. 🧵 doi.org/10.1037/abn0001108

New preprint! We investigate the risk of algorithmic bias (across race/ethnicity, gender, and their intersection) in machine learning models predicting suicide attempts across 3 clinical settings in over 1.2 million patients.

Thank you @childmindinst for the honor and more importantly for the incredible work you do! Wow, what an unbelievable group making such great progress and impact on the lives of children and families!
The @childmindinst’s 15th annual On the Shoulders of Giants Scientific Symposium brought together leading researchers to examine how advances in science and technology are reshaping suicide prediction and prevention for young people.
Excited about this paper and the many incredible things to come from @ChloeRoske!
First pub of grad school is here!! We argue that suicide prediction will advance most quickly and effectively through a synthesis of clinical and statistical methods and discuss key directions to do so @mk_nock

Will A.I. lead to de-skilling of physicians?
And if so what can be done to preempt it?
@tberzin and I address this in a new @TheLancet piece
