This study finds that psychiatrists who worked on DSM-5 received $14M in undisclosed funding from the pharmaceutical industry; the very industry that has profited enormously from DSM's over-medicalisation of everyday life. https://t.co/PDbcRKrt5k

The syllabus they put together covers the math prerequisites for ML quite comprehensively. Wish I had attended smth like this before my PhD🤣

We performed a systematic review of all placebo-controlled efficacy trials for venlafaxine (Effexor). None went for longer than 12 weeks so no long term evidence of safety or efficacy. Led by brilliant PhD student Caroline Kamp https://t.co/mzHI3any3y 1/n

We completed a systematic review and meta-analysis of antidepressant withdrawal effects and found that 43% of people experienced them, there was a trend towards longer exposure giving rise to a higher risk of withdrawal effects https://t.co/2C97k7ptQn 1/n

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins.

In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.

In a retrospective study, Eriksson et al. show that epilepsy surgery was able to halt and even reverse a decline in neuropsychological functioning in certain children by providing seizure freedom and the opportunity to discontinue antiseizure medication. https://t.co/copiOO8lT0

China’s attempt to isolate 24 million Taiwanese citizens by distorting UN Resolution 2758 must be stopped.

The Dutch Parliament has just adopted our resolution calling for Taiwan’s participation in UN organisations and for an EU-wide effort to support Taiwan’s representation.

Great to be a part of this much needed initiative The Psychotropic Deprescribing Council @PsychotropicDC to help educate clinicians and the public about safe deprescribing of psychiatric medications. Congrats to
@altostrata and the board for all their hard work.

I recently started as a Research Fellow in the Clinical Systems Neuroscience Section @DNP_ICH, using diffusion MRI to explore the altered neural pathways in children with speech disorders of a gene origin. First days were very fulfilling and I can’t wait to work on the data soon!
