We argue that defining Problematic Usage of the Internet (PUI) as a unified framework can better align research, treatment, and policy.

Take a look if you’re interested in how refining terminology can move this field forward.

This is a class from Harvard University:

"Introduction to Data Science with Python."

It's free. You should be familiar with Python to take this course.

The course is for beginners. It's for those who want to build a fundamental understanding of machine learning and artificial intelligence.

It covers some of these topics:

• Generalization and overfitting
• Model building, regularization, and evaluation
• Linear and logistic regression models
• k-Nearest Neighbor
• Scikit-Learn, NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib

At 14, I never imagined presenting internationally at ISAM 2018 by the age of 20. At 20, I never thought I'd win the ISAM award by 26. Maybe an ISAM board member by 32? 😁 Nothing's impossible with the best mentor, @EkhtiariHamed, and this amazing society, @ISAMAddiction.

Love how scientific congresses gather people from around the world, making such meetings possible! Istanbul was amazing! #isam2024 @EkhtiariHamed @ArashKhojastehZ @Laya_JKhave @MehranZB

[Mehran Zare-Bidoky @MehranZB]

Excited to be listed as an author among key leaders in this field! In this paper, we address the need for transparency and reproducibility in #Neuroimaging through comprehensive reporting checklists. Check out our work in @npp_journal!
