🚨New Preprint 🚨

You might imagine that people with depression are less sensitive to rewards. But…maybe not on social media!

Across three Twitter datasets (over 17 million tweets from 7736 Twitter users), we find that depressed individuals show *higher* sensitivity to social rewards (i.e., likes) on social media.

I am returning to this two weeks later with our campus reeling from a second gun incident and lockdown this past Wednesday. It's hard to find words to express the terror, sadness, and frustration that this is our reality. We don't have to live like this, and we shouldn't have to

After the campus shooting at @UNC Chapel Hill Aug 28, I compiled some info, resources, and skills for coping after a traumatic event to share with my undergrad students. Sharing in hopes it can help other students + instructors: https://t.co/X20hTlWXYe

It is unfathomable that my old college paper has to put this together... but this is devastatingly perfect. Just heart wrenching.

I am in awe of the courage and thoughtfulness it took to produce this front page. Bravo, @dailytarheel

As a UNC Chapel Hill student who is currently still sheltering in place with no updates other than the sound of sirens and helicopters, thoughts and prayers aren’t enough. This shouldn’t happen. We shouldn’t have to go to class in fear of our lives. We need legislative change.
