Smart people (and smart animals) often change their minds.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat.

A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine.

Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.

“Although the award is given to one person, I’ve had really supportive mentors and colleagues at PAU and the San Francisco VA,” says Dr. Yalch. Another great example of the importance of #mentorship!

And, congratulations, Dr. Yalch!

This is not a platform for complex messages, but this is a complex issue:
1. Very few with mental illness are violent, but most all shooters suffer from mental illness.
2. Mental illness CAN BE PREVENTED using psych science readily available
3. Pass some damn bills already!

I’m a mental health expert. Other countries have people with mental health problems. Other countries do not have regular mass shootings. Mental health is an important issue deserving of attention and dollars but it’s not why those children died today.
