‼️New paper alert eBioMedicine – The Lancet Discovery Science Lithium is a well-known mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder, but how does it affect circadian rest-activity? In an RCT, we combined actigraphy with EMA and used a Bayesian filter to disect which type of activity variability lithium impacts. (1/4)

What an opportunity to work with an exceptional PI!😍

We scrolls about 100 meters a day of social media content, much of it highly emotional. In a new paper led by Jonas Schöne (JPSP)we show that people tend to remember stronger emotional expressions, which leads them to estimate feeds as more emotional. psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-46…

We built chatbots to improve wellbeing, based on typical positive psychology interventions. They appear to be reasonably effective. If you like, you can try them!

Join one of my favorite humans! I would do it if I could.

🎉 Excited to share my first preprint as first-author! We show that population well-being estimation from social media language outperforms surveys and traditional proxies like household income. Link - doi.org/10.31234/osf.i… (1/5) 🧵👇
